And the classic more concealed approach of "quality of health you employ doesn't matter as long as you're a good person" remark.
(Some the same posters that talk about their drinking in other OT threads)
You're one step behind.
Pretty normal CP progression of posters reacting to people that have a different perspective and turning it into groups with conflicting stances stereotyping one another.
Personally, I'll never stop or feel bad talking about good lifestyle choices. No one has to agree if it's not them. That's cool. You can only lead a horse to water I suppose. But its worth saying. It doesn't mean someone is bad or wrong in exercising their right to live how they want and choosing a different path for their own reasons. That's entirely valid. I wouldn't judge someone for coping through binge drinking or simply enjoying craft beer as a past time. Been in both of those place before.
People who think they're being flexed on and reacting are taking it the wrong way I think. But alas, that's par for CP.

It's just a hard point to try and make without sounding preachy and condescending
