Food posts on FaceBook- am I being mean?

It would probably be best to take them out of your news feed. I deleted facebook because no one is cool on there. People have the attitude that their facebook is their space to say and do as they wish and gosh does it ever piss people off when you disagree with them. This has nothing to do with food but I delivered a pizza one night to a woman I had a class with in high school and she invited me to church and we became face book friends. Well the day after election day she put a post on saying that she hoped all of Obama's supporters were as abitious to get a job as they were to vote. It offended me because I have 2 jobs and I voted for obama. So I just put on her post that that it's not true what they say about all liberal minded people being lazy because I know she knows I work and I've only been unemployed for 2 weeks of my adult life and I was sad everyday and I went job hunting everyday. I wasn't mean at all about it. She about took my head off over that! Like I said above I'm no longer a facebook member and I'm not sure if I can be warm and friendly with her if I see her outside of my customer service to her. I don't know why people have to be so defensive of the ignorance they put on facebook in all subjects, Facebook is the devil.

I think this is only appropriate. And I would eat the hell out of this cheesey goodness.

-drools- That looks... amazing.

Actually, I closed down my Facebook account quite a while ago. I found that it provided nothing useful in my life and was a huge time drain. I am so much happier now that I don't have Facebook in my life. The bonus is that I don't have to see, and am not tempted by, recipes people post.

I did that too

Two words: Food porn.

I like looking at hot men too. Doesn't make me mad that I "can't have them" either. I enjoy looking at the recipies and to be honest, it's none of my business what other's post on their walls. If you don't like it, unfollow them. Easy as french silk pie.

Well said. I love looking at all sorts of recipes and food blogs online. Sometimes it inspires me to make a healthier version of a truly decadent dish. Or maybe I'll bookmark the recipe for a special occasion meal that calls for something rich and indulgent. If you have healthy recipes you would like to share on Facebook, go for it! But shaming people you think need to lose weight by posting judgemental comments and calorie counts in their comments is mean-spirited and unnecessary. Just do you!

Honestly - I just ignore it. I never like it when others try to force their views on me - so why should others be any different with what they want to eat? I focus on myself, my food, and getting my workouts in. I refuse to discuss food and exercise with others unless explicitly asked - most people just honestly don't want to know how many calories they are eating, or why they're not losing weight by just hitting the treadmill a couple times a week.

this reflect my views/
(not only do most people not know how many calories, they really don't care. just because I is important to me doesn't mean it has to be their priority, too)

So, your friends are ignorant overweight people who *you think* should lose weight and it is your mission to educate them. I can't imagine why they'd become defensive...

This is your issue. It's not about changing what others do.

Excellent answer and exactly the way I feel. If you can't control your urges that is your problem not the worlds. If you have a problem with it shut down your FB and problem solved or you could unfriend them so you don't see it. who died and named you dictator of other people's enjoyment.

Yes. It's their page. If they want to eat like crap, that's their choice. Who the hell are you to judge them for it?
