There's a difference between being in denial and being stupid, and you know that. All you have to do is look at sales of the Hollywood Diet (drinking fruit juice for 48 days and supposedly losing 10 lbs.), the cabbage diet (eating almost nothing but cabbage soup for a week, lose 10 lbs.), the Master Cleanse (nothing but lemonade for 10-40 days), and it becomes frighteningly clear that many, many people are confused and are making bad decisions due to denial and a lack of education on health. I'm glad none of your friends apparently fit into that statistics, but maybe, just maybe, there are some people that need to hear "eat right and exercise" now and again to put them on or keep them on the right track. It's not a judgment party, it's an attempt at a solution.
