Yeah bro high five! Fuck those poor people and their inability to afford expensive food! Fuck em, right up their poverty stricken asses.
All I said in the beginning was that scoffing at what other people eat makes you look like a pretentious asshole. It really does. I wasn't targeting anyone specifically, but that's the direction the discussion was taking. And in excellent halforums fashion, the monkey wagon jumped down my throat for it. I'm pretty sure that there are more than a few people on Halforums that eat junk food on a regular basis, but junk food denial is something of a common trend around here. Go ahead and pretend you don't eat at Burger King, I won't tell.
Next time you're at work, make sure to tell someone eating a Twinkie or Little Caesars pizza for lunch how disgusting and trashy their food is. You actually could get fired for doing something like that. That's the point I'm trying to make.
Okay, you know what? I haven't been here for a while, and the impression I got that you're supposedly reformed and so on, and changed names to get a new start. But y'know? *You* are by far the most obnoxious person in this conversation. There are food snobs, no doubt; on the other hand, everyone can eat whatever the f*ck they please and that's that person's prerogative. But nowhere in this thread have I seen any of the supposedly snobbish and whatever foodies be even 1/4 as condescending, aggressive or hellbent on misrepresenting the other's opinion as you. Even Shego's being more polite and less confrontational than you're being, both in the quoted post and in the next. You're deliberately pushing the "healthy/self-made food" argument to a ridiculous extreme, just for a laugh and to mock the other opinion.
You're being the snob; trying to come off all hipster by "hating" on whatever's today version of political correctness. Get over yourself. Nobody said a good hamburger or a cheapo pizza is ethically wrong; just that people who live solely off of fast food might be healthier and better off if they tried to diversify. Plus some joking around. You are going all out to make it seem like your "opponents" are making an ethical argument, which simply isn't the case.
Are there obnoxious, antagonistic assholes who want to shove "health food" down your throat? Probably - and they're assholes for it. But that's not what was happening here.
On a mostly unrelated note, not only would I be perfeclty in my right to tell someone who eats a twinky for lunch that it's a bad idea; I'm helping roll out a whole five-step-action-plan to improve food standards at my work place and I'm being *paid* to tell people they should eat healthier. So, stfu.
