You know what? You're still prejudiced.

flamingdog - i have a question for you, but first allow me to preface my question by saying that I don't personally care too much if you choose to lose weight and / or live a healthy lifestyle. I would prefer it, but i would also prefer a lot of things. My question is whether you, or anyone that you are close to, has ever suffered from a chronic disease / chronic pain which can be linked to poor general health? You may not like the idea of being chained to a diet, but I'm guessing you wouldn't like to be chained to an insulin syringe, either. Or an oxygen mask, or a handful of pills. I think that people can pretty much eat what they want, if they exercise portion control, exercise regularly, and give their bodies time to adjust.
Once again, while I would prefer that you and everyone else made themselves as robust, healthy, flexible and so forth as possible, it's really not a priority of mine, and I never try to force anyone to do anything, unless it has a direct affect on my life.
Happy early St. Pat's
