Good God. The comments section alone makes me want to tear my hair out. Whenever someone writes something like this, I assume they are also the "some people are just genetically fat. People NEED weight loss surgery" types.

 

(Disclaimer: I have nothing against weight loss surgery, I'm just pretty sure it isn't the only solution out there, let alone the best for the majority of people)

Oh yeah, I'm really doing this all wrong! If my food doesn't come from General Mills, Nabisco or Unilever then obviously I'm not eating nutritiously. 

 

The piece itself was well written, but the logic and basis was all wrong.
