Agreed. I've seen this happen, and it's very childish. Just because you don't like what someone says doesn't justify you labeling them a "troll".

I never stated that I "can afford and have access to organic foods". I literally never said that; why you claim I said this is a mystery, since I never said it. In fact, had you bothered to read what I'd written, I stated, "I'm by no means either wealthy or privileged." In fact, it's very difficult for me to afford…

Actually, you use all-caps because you're a pompous horse's ass. Actually, overeating is not an addiction; it's a compulsion. These are people who feel compelled to overeat due to any variety of emotional and psychological problems.

I'm aware that poorer neighborhoods don't have access to organic produce, and that fresh produce spoils more quickly than processed junk food, which is why it's possible poor people might think it more practical to buy the processed stuff instead. I'm also aware that a lot of poor people are not always going to be…

So any time someone states an opinion you don't like, you slap on the "troll" label. Really mature of you.

Oh, wait...What an obtusely illogical little "comeback". Perhaps you don't like the phrase "personal responsibility", because it implies introspection - as in, why overeat in the first place? I will concede there may be some health factors contributing to obesity; however, the main cause of being overweight? …

I was more thinking that it's low self-esteem which causes people to have an overly-defensive, near-paranoia, knee-jerk reaction to statements that were not about you.

Ummm...You do realize this is a public forum, riiiiight? That means we are all free to comment on other people's statements, so your asinine remark about "butting in" is, well, asinine. I will make a concession to your little remark about how some alcoholics and cocaine addicts can be high functioning - but only up…

Well, girl, I know your comment is the most hilariously obtuse statement ever.

Sadly, that's exactly what this was.

Exactly. I completely agree.

Understood - and of course, I agree that attempts at shaming overweight people (name-calling, etc.) is not the way to encourage them to live a healthier lifestyle.

I agree with you; I never understood the appeal of that series. I thought it was boring.

Just doing kitty stuff. I used to have a cat who did that, although she didn't fall.

You've sort of completely and totally missed the point. Like so badly. Because drug addicts of all sorts as well as alcoholics have an extremely difficult time functioning in society. Ever see the homeless winos and druggies on city streets? You sound delusional.

Maybe it's low self-esteem which causes some people to overeat and become fat.

Really? Tell that to my dad - oh, wait, you can't, because my father died of cirrhosis of the liver due to his alcoholism. And I'm sure you've seen the online photos entitled "The Faces Of Meth". Ah, yes, so healthy to be either a drug addict or an alcoholic.

That doesn't mean she's healthy. Anyone who eats junk food is at risk. As are obese people.

But what about accepting personal responsibility?

Why think in extremes: either obese or emaciated? It doesn't have to be one or the other. There are lots of people who are neither fat nor skinny.
