The movie 12 Monkeys had a very large affect on me at a young age. Primarily Brad Pitt's rant about how people perceive things to be correct about the world by agreeing with the norm of the group and shun any different idea's as crazy. This has become a deep part of my moral structure. Part of me will always wonder if I buck trends just to do so or once I have a reason I'm more willing to except them and jump.
With my learning of the dangers of man made oils (Corn, Palm...) I have made many changes in my eating. I now eat saturated fats instead. This being very different than how many North American's think. I will always wonder if I'm wrong and I feel confident that it's the best thing for me. The problem is I'm also betting on this with my daughter's health as well as my own. This is a horrifying realization for me, but also a wonderful one. I feel that by knowing and acting on my info I can start the change in eating at a very critical time. Before I get to old that I can't change much and my daughter can grow up in a way that is ahead of the times. I think that the food sold to us will be full of the bad oils for 10-20 years still. By making the changes now my daughter can live her entire life in a healthier way.
