Of course there are lots of foods that are bad for you that are very enjoyable. Just because someone shares a recipe, that doesn't mean they are telling you to eat it everyday. Even if you are very healthy, you can still indulge in a treat. Yes, and that's exactly what my friend said when I posted the info. Except that she's overweight and so are the vast majority of my friends who post this crap. It's clear that for most of the population, eating too many calories for their activity level is a way of life. I have a few guilty food pleasures, too, mostly anything that has frosting on it, but I really do exercise moderation and I'm very active. If you squint hard at my avatar, that's me on the left saide of the tree. Sorry, I don't have any pics of me in the yellow jumpsuit. That is great that you are active and eat in a healthy way.
Pointing out how unhealthy those recipes are is not going to keep your overweight friends from eating that stuff, it will only hurt their feelings or make them angry with you. If you are concerned about their health, offer healthy recipes or offer to do an active activity with them. If they don't want to change the way they eat, posting the calorie content is not going to make a bit of difference.

Seriously. I'm a pretty horrible person and even I have the decency to give my friends my unsolicited and rude commentary disguised as "advice" in private.
For the record, I don't appreciate your emails
You weren't meant to!

FYI, they make Samoa ice cream.
Why has no one told me this before?? I love you!
It may be regional, I don't know. I bought the Thin Mint ice cream for myself and the Samoa for my daughter. I never tried hers so I can't say it was good, but she ate it all and asked for more.

Maybe the country needs a little more fat shaming. If you had a friend that was an alcoholic and was constantly posting drink recipes would you be more likely to comment with something like, "Do you really need that drink?" What's the difference between a food addict posting brownie recipes and a heroin addict posting pictures of himself shooting up? Why do we have to walk on eggshells with the first one, but it's ok to give some tough love to the second one? Overeating will kill you. It'll wreck your health as surely as shooting heroin will. Telling an overweight person how bad their food choices are isn't going to make a bit of difference to them. I don't think shaming is the way to go.
No matter how much you shame me I will not give up my potato chip addiction.

It'll wreck your health as surely as shooting heroin will. all joking aside, I had a relative email me privately because I was always posting jokes about alcohol, posting recipes, etc...I was hysterical because it isn't like I actually drink everyday (wine doesn't count, right?? )...but at least she wasn't nasty enough to put something like that on my wall.
And I disagree. It isn't my place to fat shame anyone. A person isn't going to lose weight until they are ready. I also don't stalk people who might drink too much and make comments. It isn't my place to do so. My very best friends I would have a private discussion with but just casual friends? No way

I don't either, but responding to stuff on Facebook isn't exactly stalking someone down to make comments. They're putting their comments out in a public forum for everyone to see and respond too. If you stood on a street corner holding a sign with a recipe for double chocolate brownies with fudge topping, and you weigh 300 pounds, you're going to get comments and they won't all be about the brownies.
Same thing if you weigh 300 pounds and all your Facebook posts are food related. Or, if your friends think you have a drinking problem and all your posts are booze related.

If I blocked all the food and booze posts my news feed would just be pictures of my friend's kids posted once in a while.

No, I'm putting posts out there that only people htat I have chosen to friend can see...not some message board like this one that the entire world can see.

Man your news feed is boring. I got an X-box fetish porn video someone shared on my feed if you want to spice things up.

All my friends are old and boring. They're in their thirties and having kids. A wild night is drinking a couple beers after the kids go to bed. Except the ones who found exercise and nutrition. All they post are pictures of vegan food and logs of the miles they've run.
I'm the same way. It's not like my posts are filled with danger and excitement in comparison. Thirty somethings are boring.

Oh, and for the record, I don't believe that the Girl Scouts endorse over-indulging of any sort--be it their cookies OR drink.
Camp-fire Girls on the other hand fully endorse over-indulging on s'mores. :-)~

You do?? What other feelings am I missing out on?
