Do you have children or had children ??? But no need to answer me.
The world is full of dangers. And they will be exposed to it.
Certainly ! This is our case at all! The goal is not to pretend to avoid them all, but to avoid those we know and it's already not so bad.
I was just raising the problem of responsibility by example to our loved ones and especially our children. Of course we can let them play with the matches, play the strangler scarf game, play with the daddy's rifle and other risk factors; or be in prevention by keeping toxic products out of reach, by putting cutting tools, such as matches, out of reach, avoiding the tails of pots that overflow from the hob and the consumption of certain products such as tobacco, alcohol, legal or not, which are part of it
("18 000 20 000 deaths are currently estimated to be the cause of household accidents and are a major cause of death among young people."

Burns in young children
• 31% of victims burned are less than 5 years old.
• 12 000 children have burns including 3 700 hospitalized.
• Household accidents represent 70% of burns in children. )
I have no trouble having a "good" glass of wine (the "good" was understood in the first sense; as it rarely happens to me, I take something that tastes me, and "organic") in the presence of my children. But I have never smoked.
I did not mention "in the presence of" but of their own consumption according to the example shown by us "in the presence of". Where does it begin, at what age, how much? To use the food parallel is like eating meat (it comes back to the subject) in the presence of his children, on the one hand, and forbid them to eat, for example, under the pretext that they would be too young to this!
I do not try to make people feel guilty, but only to encourage them to think about it!
There again, should be developed. I'm sketching: I don't think that educating is just "not exhibiting", nor even "being perfect" ... The world will quickly bring young people back to the existence of all dangers.
I agree with that! We have also gone from a lack of hygiene that has favored many epidemics, to excess antibacterial products, anti parasites, antivirals until these products are ineffective. This does not prevent from recommending even minimal hygiene.
But I am a Homo sapiens socialus, I feel a certain pleasure, no doubt acquired (although almost every civilization knows about alcohol in one form or another, as they know a god; strange, no?).
Almost all actually, but the conditions and circumstances had nothing to do with the current use. Indeed, be it grapes, apples, or any other vegetable, their conservation (to pass periods without) can be drying, salting, sugaring, or extraction and storage for the long term.
But only storage in the form of sweetened juices produces alcoholic fermentation and poses the choice not to consume these juices or to assume the disadvantages that only modern science has made it possible to analyze (its components)? Except that this alcoholic fermentation has had perverse effects such as the loss of inhibitions, destroy the filter organs and loss of discernment between good and evil because of the dependence it eventually generated. Certainly there is a difference between the occasional consumer of alcohol, tobacco; other drugs and the addict (which, according to testimonies, can easily change sides).
I understood it in that sense too. I am no more perfect than anyone else and I have the chance, or the choice, to avoid, eliminate some factors because of their uselessness, beyond a possible risk, it leaves space to be available for other choices.That I share with friends who are experiencing the same. So the affective, the "felt" consciously (I do it knowingly; nobody forces me), the step on the "reasonable" ... I call that, in shorthand that the majority had to understand I think, "do not forbid me ...".
But, by experience, I can assure that true friends understand a choice that does not fit with theirs. As VG, most of my relationships are not, I share with them moments of conviviality without using these legal or non-legal drugs, well aware that society has adopted methods for generations and that even with a sincere desire for change, this is not done (and will not happen) easily.
So, because it is topical, JP Coffe was shouting at food that is shit: how many have become aware and the majority not, mostly indifference.
Sen no sen, who is VG by birth (see neighboring post on the subject) does not have to forbid or allow himself to consume this or that product since he does not usually consume it (like my children and little ones) children besides) while "your" case is different by your culture, your habits.
PS: 60 million consumers warn about fish and poisons they contain: lead, mercury, while it's been known for decades, but with the same indifference because everyone believes not to be concerned as for the pesticides and other phytosanitary products of the big industrialists of chemistry. We are and are only humans with their weaknesses and contradictions, of course!
