THE VOICE 0.F THE TUR11UE by George Tauchman "If 1 could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive." Samuel Goldwin. 'mr not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens." Woody Allen. The fear of shortening our life or our bank account con- tinually prompts us to do a countless number of things, and some of them get nuttier than a peanut-brittle. My doctor tells me that I should starve myself to death if I want to live longer. One night some 36 years ago, I put my hands up for exactly the same reason when I found myself looking down the gun barrel of a certain crazy man. But some of the long- range plans that some people initiate make me think of those passengers on the Tit.anic who went îiearly to bed" to make themselves "healthy, wealthy and wise". We aIl make long-range plans for the augmentation of our health as well as our wealth even though life in this world today is a kind of voyage on the Titanic. Now please don't think I'm trying to turn anyone into a paranoid. I myself am an incurable optimist, full of long-range plans for which I'm paying dearly at present in the hope of reaping rewards from themn many years from now. The point I want to make here is that although "îThe best laid plans o' mice an'men/Gang aft a-gley", most of us badly need to put a lot more thought and study into how we lay our plans. More than that, I believe that it is every living adult's responsibility to keep an eye on alI the more powerful plan- ners whoburture schemes that may be highly hazardous to your wall e and many other vital organs in your body. But you absolutely must make yourself more aware and more knowledgeable if you want to protect your health and wealth a lot better than you're doing. Are you aware that for the sake of alI those you hold dear (starting with "number one") you would neyer, if you knew better, buy another ounce of saIt or sugar or even bleached flour nor any of the junk foods that are made of these elemen- ts? Read the books "Killer Salt" and "Sugar Blues". You should also start learning how to read the ingredierits on al the food packages on the grocer's shelves! Read the book "Additive Alert"! You pay more of your hard-earned cash for unhealthy chemicals, dyes and "flavor-enhancing" poisons that are added to your foods than you ever dreamed of (unless you are vastly more knowledgeable than 99 per cent of the shoppers I meet at the checkout counter!) I myseif need to know an awful lot more than I do about food additives and take more of my own advice. Being a bon vivant, and indulgent hedonist, or, if you want iL more plainly, a glutton, I am trying hard to learn more self-control so that I may live in misery, but longer. But I have this seductive devîl that keeps saying, "Hey, man, you know you have to drive an average of eighty miles every day, mostly on the deadly 401, so eat, drink, etc., for tomorrow may be cancelled." Then this gorgeous devil tells It 's tîme to stop coddling automa kers ev$.
