Ok. We'll just pretend that your ignoring the rest of my post means I really never posted it, and move on...

Yeah. Of course. So if I try to trojan something in as 'healthy' because it gives someone their 'recommended serving of dairy' - though it also gives them scores of other shit that would not be an issue if that person was actually just getting that serving of dairy instead of all the other shit that's served with it - that's cool? Sort of an 'Ice Cream sundaes everyday = healthy because you're getting dairy sort of thing, yeah?

There are so many real, genuine, important problems with the world, I don't know why you're spending your time replying to conversations about something that is allegedly fabricated and not very exciting.

See how easy that is?

Funny thing is: across the pond, the usual schtick is about the American obesity problem. And now, suddenly (presumably to take attention off of the fact that what you said is at odds with the quotation I posted), something that takes issue with the topic is not worth discussion. Interesting how that works.
