I can embrace this as it is, as you've put it. I think when people make a life choice they feel the need to defend it and most of the time it's because people don't know how to mind their own damn business. Or, when people find something that works for THEM they want to share it and then receive backlash.

I have really worked to embrace a live and let live sort of outlook on life and I *know* how cliche that is, but I can't read people's thoughts, I don't know their hearts, ya know? So...we can meet in our mutual love for Broccoli and there the conversation begins.
