[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm sorry but do you people really not consider your weight when making food choices? Do you not realize the amount of time and money the food industry spends trying to get you to eat salt, sugar, and fat? The crazy rise on obesity in this country (for those who don't see it please exit the bubble and read a newspaper from time to time you will hear all about it, yes even among children). It's absurd to suggest in our society that recognizing those facts and being vigilant about maintaining a healthy weight makes you have an unhealthy view about weight. It's all part and parcel of the issue I'm raising here: that every consideration is paid to making fat people feel normal when being fat is anything but normal. [/quote]

OP, are you my SIL?

She ONLY talks about food.  Is it organic, local, whole?  Is it whole grain, full of antioxidants, gluten free?  And on and on and on.

Her children do the same.  They are allergic to everything.  They can wax eloquent about additives and preservatives.  They are skinny, but their mom worries about their slightly rounded tummies.

Her children have been expelled from several schools, and are in therapy and on multiple medications.  They are unpleasant, negative, judgmental, and save their harshest comments for anyone in the area who has the misfortune of being anything but emaciated.

Your issues run deep.  You have traded true good and evil for FOOD good and evil.[/quote]
