[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That being said,[b] I find it odd that people are defending TV and fast food like it's the bald eagle or the Statue of Liberty or something.  [/b].[/quote]

I used to wonder the same thing when I had a baby.  Why so defensive?  Then I caved in on McDs and trust me, after you get enough dirty looks and eyerolls from parents who think they are SO much better than you because you mentioned you dared to take your child to McDonalds (while their kid is sitting there eating junk food that they think is fine because its "organic") - you get a bit defensive.

It's silly of course.  There things I find important that others don't.  But just explaining where the defensiveness comes from.

I get it if people are being rude to you in real life, and I also get that there are people who think organic processed food is better than non-organic processed food when it's nutritionally the same.  What I don't really get is the way that people just answering the question truthfully are accused of being sanctimonious.  [b]People simply doing something different does not have to mean they think they're better or are judging others.  Really.  And even if they are secretly doing so in their heads, they didn't SAY so and I (personally) only have so much energy to get defensive about what others might be thinking in their heads.[/b][/quote]
