Michelle: I dont think that it was directed at you, I think it wasa general thing. Also, I didnt know you had popcorn recently... until you said what you did in Mikes response.
What I am about to say is not meant for you directly, but I truly feel if people read about someones elese rant and they are angered by it, they have reason to be. For example, if you accuse a liar of lying they become angered. If you accuse a shoplifter of stealing they become ticked off. If you accuse an alcoholic of being one, they laugh in your face and assure you they are not.... if you shot to the universe that you are disgusted with peoples poor food choices and one becomes effected, disturbed or angered by it, then its my feeling its because they should be. Because it made one think that perhaps he/she could be talking about them..... andtook it personally. They internalized the comment because they do in fact make poor food choices.
Its one thing to enjoy "the bad" foods occasionally, its just frustrating when you see people who do it everyday, and are boastful. I dont mind hearing that someone had cheesecake for the first time in a year and it was heaven on earth, but I dont like hearing about them eating cookies EVERYDAY.
People who have the wrong foods everyday, have a problem... and we are here to help. Even if the words arent the ones you want to hear... at least we keep it reAL and dont enable choices.
I like this place and these people, I get PM's telling me Im stubborn and unreasonable.. thats okay. At least I make people think. I have had a friend confront me about a concern for me, I LOVE her more for it! If people dont care about you, they ignore you. If they love and respect you, your gonna hear from them. I wouldnt have it any other way.....
Like I said this post is directed at anyone, not just at you Michelle. Just think, in a couple of months we will be riding Mikes a$$ for something!!!!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug
"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
