Well my smoking, meat eating husband just impregnated me with that 'shit' and I'm not worried that I'm giving birth to an alien!!
Diet is really important, but not the be all and end all of life.

lol. Thanks for that. Swallowing is not the most important part of a relationship either. Or at least, I would hope not!

Take it from someone 43 and in a 20 year AWESOME relationship with a drinking, meat eating ,ect. man.
Changing someone is not the basis for a good relationship.
Focusing on what you love is the trick and forget the rest.

If you do this you will activate the law of attraction and he will either become more of what you want or he will go away and the perfect one will come.

My favorite trick is to make lists of the things I love about people I want great relationships with .

Works like a CHARM.

DO NOT try to change him. Lead by example. He is a guy. Guy's do not take well to direction/suggestion/nagging.
And if you fall in love with him. Do like I do and love every bit of him and revel in that love. Love has little to do with food. Except that I love him enough to want to cook him meat dishes for the rest of our lives if he so chooses to ignore his health.
I expect to marry the man I'm with, so that is one thing I have to keep in mind. He might be a meat eater for the rest of his life, but if I'm his wife, I can make sure it's organic, grass fed meat and with lots and lots of raw food mixed in.
Hell, I didn't go from meat eater to raw. I transitioned slowly over years without even knowing where my diet was headed. I figure he'll notice the difference and ask for more anyways!

Get him to drink unpasteurized, hops-free beer. It's good for you.
Get him off of factory farmed meat and onto local organic, pasteur-ranged meat.

Instead of making him give up what he loves, you should get him to eat/drink better, healthier versions.

Be an example. All you can say is how great you feel. How good the food is. & ditto on the law of attraction. you attract what comes into your life.
