How is it patronising? It’s perfectly valid in a discussion about politics to wonder why a group votes one way and not another. For instance, I often wonder why Tea Party supporters vote against their own interests. Lots of them are poor, unemployed and rely on Medicare. And yet they support candidates who want to…

I think the cake was an example of a food that you enjoy once in a while that isn’t necessarily healthy. Obviously it’s not an indulgence for you if you hate it. Is there anything else you indulge in that fits that description? Because if there is, that would be your 'cake'.

If you’re not eating something because you don’t like it, then you’re absolutely not who she’s getting at in this article. Chill out, she wasn’t getting a dig at you.

That’s fine and dandy that you just don’t like sugar, (though I don’t think she’s being quite so literal with the cake thing), but I feel obligated to say that what the bathroom scale says is no indication of whether or not a person has an eating disorder. (I’m not saying that you do, of course, but that in general…

I hate the whole healthy or good dynamic. I eat pretty healthy, but I eat really good and not boring food.

Recovering bulimic—I was vegan for about 8 months and it was...unhealthy. I have to avoid restrictive “lifestyle” diets like the plague; it’s just too easy to make them an extension of compulsion.

Along with exercise bulimia, it’s a new symptom of an old problem. Jillian Michaels should be ashamed.

Yeah. I tend to mind my own business about it but when a friend tells me they’re doing a ‘cleanse’ I have to work at biting my tongue about how unhealthy I actually think most cleanses are. I’m not always happy with how my body looks either, but I don’t think avoiding solid foods for a week is going to make it…

At it’s extreme, this type of obsession with “clean eating” is called orthorexia. It’s a recognised disorder. When people get so involved in a certain type of restrictive diet, such as paleo, it can be really harmful. But often it’s not picked up, and people who are obsessive are celebrated as super-healthy role…

She’s not wrong. A multi-day cayenne pepper and lemon juice only ‘cleanse’ is to a person with disordered eating what a weekend long bender in Vegas would be for an alcoholic. It’s not healthy and the media should stop glorifying that type of thing.

If you’ve ever been to a shooting range you know the average person is a really shitty shot, especially under pressure. They’re more likely to kill someone standing 20 feet away. But sure lets give every fucker who wants one a gun and maybe that’ll solve the problem.

This is a terrible recipe for freedom. No measurements, no ingredients list, no indication of how many servings I’ll end up with. Such BS.

Hopefully they only harm themselves:

That is a likely scenario.

They have absolutely bastardized what freedom means. The rest of us aren’t free when psychos like this “shoot first and ask questions later”. We’re six feet under. Do they ever think about that?

Another thing about the Charles Whitman shooting:

Gun free zones are killing us + donut free zones are making us fat + abortions are destroying Christians + gays are also destroying Christians= America.

Weird, you’d think they’d be more worried about their protest being misunderstood by one of those “good guys with a gun,” we’re always hearing about. I mean, those are real and totally do happen, right?

Left this comment elsewhere here I think (need more coffee). Why don’t these little fellas get all together with all their guns and stuff, and take a lovely trip to the middle east and just join in the fighting with all the other young men who love guns and death? I mean, they want to shoot humans at some point; they…

Oh look, ammosexuals playing out a hero fantasy where they save the day. Bunch of dudes running around UT with cardboard guns and erections sounds like a great time to me.
