    I find it interesting that the author wrote 1,653 words criticizing clean eating in response to 40 words about diet coke (which words, incidentally, were all true.)

    Agreed except until I tried almond eggnog...a little on the sickly sweet side but in small doses it was pretty dandy, particularly if I wanted a sweet coffee.

    In in hopes of lots of people insisting diet coke makes them unable to lose weight/artificial sweetener is the devil/other just delightful things I've come to expect in threads like this.

    Where is my popcorn.

    ...you forgot about chocolate. DC may have sprung the article but there are definitely chocolate undertones. LOL. Thanks for this article...fave quotes:

    "It seems that every moment is a lecture moment for the food police, whose forgiveness and grace policies are non-existent."
    AND
    "Just about anyone eating overtly unhealthily isn’t doing so from a lack of knowledge, but other reasons."

    The former fits my current eating situation. Critiquing of my current foods/style.
    The latter fits my former eating situation, a dear friend would "skinny cow" me to death at every visit, it was probably mind blowing to her why I could be so smart but allowed myself to stay overweight so long. Not knowing me during my illness she could not understand the fear I had of working out, nor the "one thing at a time" approach to life I had been forced to adopt during that time which made weight loss something I planned to get to later. Well later has finally come around but she has since apparently given up on me and has seen me but not noticed my efforts yet. Man is she in for a surprise when the day comes that she notices. And yes I will tell her how much skinny cow I ate along the way. LOL. I'm a grudge holder, but NOT a liar.
