Imagine if you will, a new form a dieting, dieting based on the philosophy that many in America subscribe to. This diet would be accepting, not condemning of anyone else's diet. It would work like this: Each person must decide for themselves what is good for them and what is bad for them. What is good for one person may not be good for another, and what is bad for you may not be bad for me. Each person's diet is dependent on them, and they must decide for themselves what is best.
Sounds pretty absurd, doesn't it? However, this same attitude is applied to morality in much of America. The philosophy of existentialism states that each person decides for themselves what is right and wrong for themselves. This relativistic attitude has become quite popular in America's politically correct culture. Obviously eating in an existentialist way will not make you healthy, why would living in such a way lead to a good life?
