    Why should I follow the health advice of someone who can’t follow it themselves? Why should I trust that what they tell me is true when they’re not capable of being healthy?

    It’s like a doctor telling you that smoking is horrible for your health between puffs of a cigarette.

    We should expect that our health officials can follow their own advice, if only because good appearances can help convince the public to follow it.

      So if the guy with one arm tells me not to stick my arm out the window of a moving vehicle, I should ignore him?
