I think it's because people's gut reaction is to feel like they are stupid if they eat it or whatever. It's like a personal insult. I guess I'm guilty of that, sometimes you don't know why it pisses you off.

Myself, I eat McDonald's. I like McDonald's. Some things I like better than others, but for the most part, I find it a good value and I think it tastes good. BigDaddy does not feel the same way, and he has good reason not to. But, I'm not giving up my McDonald's. If you LIVE off of it, of course it's friggin' horrible stuff. If you lived off of my wife's grandmother's cooking, you'd love it and you'd literally gain about 20 lbs in a month.

All things in moderation. Pass the Chicken McNuggets please...

I used to like to claim that I just didn't know any better, and that's why I weighed almost 450lbs. It was a bullshit excuse. I knew fast food wasn't good for me, but I also knew a lot of people who ate the shit 3 times a day and weighed 200lbs. Ultimately, I have discovered that I just didn't give a shit.

I have lost 95% of my "fat sympathy". I'm still plenty fat myself, I weigh about 280lbs, but I just don't feel sorry for people who may not know what to do to lose weight. The fact is, they make consciously poor decisions every day when choosing what to shove down their gullet. Portion size in this country is out of control, but that is no excuse to keep expanding that balloon like stomach of theirs when they already need the damned cart to ride around in while shopping for all of that high fat content shit they eat every day. At some point, you have to take accountability for your decisions, or face the ridicule that comes with it.

I used to eat those things back in college. I'm pretty sure they were a big part of the weight I put on during that time (long gone, thankfully).

Once in a blue moon probably doesn't do much damage (unless you can't have wheat, like me). Poison is dose dependent, obviously.

I wouldn't be sorry. You just did him a favor. I'll bet he agrees.

You may be right.

I trip out when people literally get angry at me when my food choices come up in conversation. In fact, they freak out on me. And whats funny is, I could care less what other people eat. I really could. If you want to down 3 big Macs in front of me and a dozen chicken mcNuggets, rock the **** out. Enjoy it with all you got. I really dont care, nor an I offended by your food choices you know? But man, people get all pissed at me. So weird. They even get more angry when they ask why I make these choices. They dont like my answer becasue it forces them to rethink what theyre eating and they dont want to do that. I get it, but then dont ask and you wont have to hear what you arent ready to hear.

Its like if I got all pissed at you becasue you choose to drink gree tea instead of black tea. Wouldnt that trip you out if someone jumped all over you for drinking green tea instead of black tea? Who gives a rats ass what you drink right??

But I think youre point about it just being a form of projecting is pretty accurate..
