... Ha ha.... I've been clicking on some posts that have all these articles...
"Splenda Gives You Liver Disease"
"Sugar is Toxic- Making You Sick"
"Going to Gym is Bad For You"
"Drinking Soda Will Kill You--- Tomorrow!!!"
I mean... honestly... can we get a grip here. It it is somewhat overwhelming to think of all the facts and myths and craziness that is losing weight. Here's what I have to say... we're all going to die sometime. So, no need to use the fear tactics on MFP

Hilarious! I noticed that trend last night. It's like pre-6 o'clock news: "Is your child's school lunch killing him??? Stay tuned at 6pm to find out.."0

Lol, I thought you were talking about counting calories and going stir crazy. I was going to say "yes!!!!"
But yes there are some zealots around here:indifferent:0 -
Yeah, I stay away from the fear-monger threads. ALL CAPS TOPIC TITLES are usually a good indication that there might be some craziness inside :laugh:0

I remember when I first started on this site and it was like a new world to me, even though I'd been attempting to lose weight using another website for a year prior. I think what we all have to remember as "seasoned members" is that all these posts from people who say "Sugar is the devil" Don't eat fat!" etc etc etc etc is that it is just a person who is excited about being here and wants to share what they've found.0

Yes. Yes it does. I am a psycho murderer of fatty fat fat. At least that's what I keep telling myself.0

i totally agree with u..0

Love the types of titles that catch people's eyes. Words like SECRETS and MYTHS and MISTAKES and FAILURE.
We also click a lot on "depressed" and "need encouragement."0 -
applause!!!!
my favourites are the "anything not completely whole and natural will kill you" posts. whatever. create a deficit and you will lose. pretty simple.0 -
Eating food kills you. Eating my food kills you quicker.0

LOL yes I know! Quite awhile back someone posted a topic asking something about using splenda in a strawberry pie. I was the only one that answered her. The rest were posts saying how splenda is going to kill you, etc. It seriously *issed me off. Now if she had asked is it bad for me then that's different.0
