    I'm on my lunch break and was looking for that thread by that young anemic woman who's hair was falling out and she couldn't swallow Flintstones chewable vitamins without vomiting. Where'd it go? (I'm asking y'all here cause I know many of you were reading that trainwreck of a post.) Did the moderators delete it?

    Probably. That was just ridiculous....

    Are you thinking of this one: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10131131/will-this-correct-my-iron-deficiency/p1

    I believe she started several threads that have all been closed. This one is still there (but it's closed) and you can search the OP's user name to find out if their other threads are still around.

    Yes! Thanks Dianne. It was like starting to watch a daytime soap opera this morning when I left the house and wanting to pick back up on it during lunch. LoL

    Regarding the title of this thread - is that despite all of the detoxes she does?

    For most people, it's a no biggie thing. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is one of those lucky guys that has Ulcerative Colitis and was told by his doctor to avoid it as it can bring on flareups and make them worse (as well as other fun stuff).

    Shopping for him has been super fun
    Thanks for the trip down memory lane. When we were trying to get to the bottom of my son's migraines, the doctor gave me a long list of foods to avoid, including MSG, tomatoes, and old cheese. Just try and find a prepared soup, stew, or sauce without them!

    Come to think of it, that time taught me to read labels, and how to cook these things for myself. Not a bad tradeoff.

    A couple years later my son got a forbidden list from the orthodontist. Older and wiser, he "lost" the list on the way home.

    Ok, I just had an ad for Cheerios pop up on my side bar. It made me giggle more than is probably polite.

    Im an engineering major and I had to explain to my mom's husbands daughter that "No, the earth isn't 5000 years old", "You cant just do cardio and starve yourself to lose weigh because your body doesn't work that way" and "No, vaccines don't cause autism and that paper everyone cites is nothing but flawed research with lots of big words to scare idiots". You can't fix stupid and she's the average American.

    My bob, how did you survive that encounter? She's got all the crazies rolled into one!

    Yeah, that was a close call, survival wise, for the student step sister who considers herself above average and smarter than the average stupid American. Maybe she used flashcards, some chalk and a blackboard to urge everyone on board the Intellectual Enlightenment Train.

    What. The. Actual. F**k?

    Those who choose not to think only have one recourse against those that do, making is seem like elitist jerks.

    It's sort of the same thing I did with bodies before I found this place "ah, that slim woman, she must starve herself, ah that fit woman, must be nice to have all that time to work out!

    Of course they were just lies that made me feel good about me not using my body.

    So she's doing the same, she tells lies to herself about people who use their brains to make herself feel better about not using hers.

    I think there's an element of ad hom in there too. If the other person is a jerk then what they say isn't true.

    Love this thread and it reminded of a time years ago when my mother-in-law was going on about only feeding the grand kids 100% natural snacks. My husband told her " dog****" is also 100% natural, but I wouldn't feed it to my kids!"
