TL;DR

Use big scary words, flashy website, misrepresent your credentials, link to other detox sites, overstate your following, and promote a product for personal profit.

    Ha ha ha ha ha! This is great!

    Alternative Titles:
    "How to Internet Forum 101"
    "The Food Babe Manual"
    "A Day In The Life of MFP Diet Soda Threads"

    This should be a sticky!

    Excellent, I've always struggled to be a good fearmonger.

    Funny how some people will listen happily to how "big pharma" is bad when the message is coming from people who are bankrolled by the supplement industry. Just what exactly is the difference? Except that actual pharmaceuticals have to show some evidence that they actually work...

    Typical. I posted this thread and then forgot about it. Oops! Glad you all liked it as much as I did.

    2016 is wrapping up to be a forgettable year, as a most vitriolic presidential campaign I've ever seen wraps up. I sometimes wonder if "true facts" matter to anyone any more.

    Then I find some passionate souls on MFP and my faith in humanity is restored.

    Rock on, peeps!
