Ramen Noodles

As I eat some tasty ramen while I write my blog, I have decided to spin my eating of ramen to what we discussed earlier in the semester on my unalienable right to be unhealthy. My eating of ramen may not be the best decision for my health, because it is chalk full of sodium and preservatives, and it will not be the best decision for me in the long run for anyone because in some minuscule amount of time, my eating of this ramen will trim off some of my health and cost more to my future health insurance if I end up becoming ill. This act of being unhealthy is put up to a much larger scale when you look at the mass majority of obese people in the country, costing the government millions of dollars to support them but yet they choose to be unhealthy and inherently will be ill more in their lives. This delema is an exact contradiction to what American ideals are, and that is the freedom to do what one would like as long as it doesn't infringe on other people's well being. Now, being myself and always looking in slight extremes, i feel that these types of contradictions should be dealt with, and an external authority should decide that yes, it is alright to have the freedom to be unhealthy while acknowledging that yes, it will be hurting others indirectly. In making this decision, they also address the individual's personal right to be unhealthy as well, which would include smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol among other things. And that is all I have to say about that.
