And you're right, you can't stop her, so quit hoping that you can. Considering you're new to this sight and have posted fewer than 10 comments, you shouldn't reply negative and also put someone else down saying they obviously know nothing about nutrition! I don't know who you think you are but you've obviously been mis informed about the benefits of this awsome site! We motivate eachother and SUPPORT eachother...

Lol! For one I'm not "hoping" she doesn't eat red meat, I just think she has the right to be informed and then make her own descision. I think you personally should eat all the red meat you want. Also your right quantity of comments is sooo much more important than quality.....wait that's not true....isn't that the thinking that got you into this mess in the first place. Im am very sorry to have offended your notions of what this site should be. Personally I like to be given facts over useless opinions but that's just me. Anyways I think you should cook yourself a nice big slice of steak. Enjoy it!!

I will, and I personally don't mind killing what God gave us to eat! I knew you were against it when you replied the first time. That's what pissed me off most, you didn't care about the nutrition of steak, you were just against the cow being killed..........

This has been an amazing resource and I'm grateful to have 24-hour, free access to a wealth of information and advice from people who, although they don't know me, care enough to respond.
You have some changes to make and obviously don't know it all or you wouldn't be here. Don't shoot yourself in the foot, and best of luck with whatever your goals are.

I agree that this is a great site I really enjoy how easy it is to keep track of not only calories but also carbs, protein, sugar ect. As for a change, Nope, I eat very healthy and am already at a healthy weight. I'm just obsessed with Nutrition, which is why I Love keeping track of everything I eat. You may think I'm crazy but I think I'm lucky, it isn't a chore for me to eat healthy, I love doing it. I think it's because I'm so passionate about it that my advice came off as overbearing or why I gave it without being asked. But if I was doing something that could potentially increase my risk for all kinds of disease I would want to know! But honestly this showed me how judgemental some of you are. I made an offhanded comment that some people dont know a lot about nutrition, which in America is very true, and you all attack me. It's pathetic.

To tlapdx72 I apologize for accidentally turning your post into an argument, it really wasn't my intention. I hope your mother had a lovely birthday! Thanks for not joining the angry mob! lol

Not only Americans use this site, and American or not the ones who do use this site are not just a statistic. You can't assume that since America has a weight problem that everyone on this site does as well. And do you know how many people on here have a passion for health including me? I was bed bound for more than a year and gained a lot of weight....so no, as you said earlier...eating big portions is NOT what got me into this mess. I use to be VERY fit...I had a 4 pack when I was 14 and LOVED eating healthy and excersising. So don't go assuming you know me, or my story on how I got fat! I have a huge passion for health but I do not shove it down peoples throats in the slightest bit unless it is asked, actually ASKED!
