Greetings,

I often hear from my friends, both close and not so close, that I should do (or not do) a certain thing that is controversial within a certain subset of society.

Why is this such a common thing? What do you think (WITHOUT BEING RUDE OR DEBATING) on this? If you also do not do this certain thing, are you generally healthy?

    I saw a documentary about [controversial topic] and the guy in the documentary lost 40 lbs, so that's enough for me. Everybody's different, and unless you've actually tried [controversial topic] there is no reason to even chime in on this thread. This place is for support!

    I'm generally healthy no matter if I pick A or B just cause

    I think people with steadfast convictions about EVERYTHING and a refusal to listen to and consider ANYTHING that someone else might have to say are poopoo heads.

    out of fear of being accused of trying to have a logical and civil debate with an opinion that is different from yours I simply say:

    You are completely wrong OP, I found this very interesting nutrition documentary [insert name here] put together by a person who is an expert in rotating tires and he demonstrates the exact opposite of your proposition. Here, also look at this [insert website name] that proves behind a shadow of the doubt that science is faulty.

    If I want to use [controversial topic], it's my business. It's my body, and it's working for me. I've not had any ill effects from [controversial topic], so yes, I AM that special snowflake. Anyone who disagrees with me, has never actually tried [controversial topic] for themselves. They need to be more supportive of my use of [controversial topic]

    Ignore the haters, dude.

    Well, there's a powerlifter that follows the [controversial topic] style of eating. Just look at the dude, you can't seriously argue with his photos.

    But I read an extensively bias largely flawed documentation
    *with an extensive amount of referencing to only sources that support the thing that they set out to prove and
    *discounts all research into anything that might support your controversial topic
    *ignores all other environmental factors as possibly having impact
    *is over 100 pages long (which automatically makes all statements therein reliable facts)

    and it said you're wrong.

    quit it!!! stop! now! you're hurting my brain!

    How DARE you require me to come up with my own controversial topic...seriously dude...

    I. just. can't.

    oh sheez...alright...yeah, I mean if you go to the bathroom to do said controversial topic, and it isn't hurting the controversy seekers then I say you should rub that controversy as hard and quickly as you can until you reach completion of said, um, er..controversy.

    *side note: you may want to bring your smart phone for some smart porn just to help...but be smart.

    I can't post anything about [controversial topic] without you interpreting it as breaking the rule about not debating (or without you interpreting it as fighting, rather than debating), and since I have no idea what I just said, I will just say good luck on your journey! You've go this!

    Edited for spelling, because I know how high strung you get about that!

    I haven't heard anything about [controversial topic] and have no personal experiences to share, but I will instead gently encourage you to think for yourself and be a leader not a follower. Just because this is reported in multiple studies, your family and friends say it's good, and a quick Google search confirms that [controversial topic] is valid, doesn't mean it is! Think for yourself, and go blindly where no logical person has gone before.

    And you're as healthy as you feel, you special snowflake, you.
