Really. But... I don't know. It's always seemed a little arrogant, mihi, to attribute everything good to God. No, really. Instead of being humble (I couldn't've done it without His help!") it sounds more like "God took the time to help me. I'm very special because of this. If you aren't being helped by God, it's because there's something wrong with you".

And something else. If God is running around stopping people from smoking and tanning and eating too much, why isn't he also stopping them from being hateful, robbing the poor, and killing each other? Or aren't those important enough to merit God's personal interference?

I admit to being faintly creeped out, for the same reason that you find it faintly arrogant.

I have a very strong Mediterranian heritage (My father was a Greek immigrant to the US), and as a result, tan very easily. All it takes for me to get that "healthy glow" is to spend a nice, normal, 10 to 15 minutes in the sun every few days. Ironically, I have always wanted to be paler than I am.... Argh. ~_~
