Body Detox And The Millenials

If there were a generation to give, en masse and complimentary, decades-long supplies of body detox, it would be those of us who were in between the Generation X-ers and these new Millennial children. The Millenials were born during the era of abstinence education and anti-drug commercials that involved sweetners deflating into flattened puddles in the middle of their living rooms. They grew up without having to fight over whether we were descended from apes and have no idea what we mean when we talk about cigars or blue dresses.

Part of the rationalization behind getting detox-- one of the central arguments you'll hear on health and fitness websites, on day-time talk shows, maybe even at the YMCA when you're taking your kid to a swim class or something-- is that these people want to be able to live longer. I don't know whether that's really a good thing. This is an over-populated country as it is, and in a certain sense it's rather selfish for any of us to want to live longer.

The newly-minted era of health awareness is a good and important trend in contemporary society, and some people have been living such starkly clean lives for so long that they've forgotten how to talk to people like you, who have been smoking and drinking in direct proportion to your body weight since you dropped out of college. It's for those of you that these clean livers hire self-destructive types like me to write for them.

That's absolutely counter-productive to your children's futures. You should know better.

So before you go any further with this-- before you start ordering your lifetime supply of body detox from this or any other site, please consider: your willingness to better yourself and your desire to live a happier, cleaner, and longer life may well be in the way of the development of a new one. So before you make the choice to improve your own life, ask yourself: is your life really worth prolonging?
