Before you get too comfy, there’s a few things we need to go over first. Because I’ve been on the Internet since 1996 and I notice nobody ever lets a little thing like civility or personal responsibility get in the way of having a good time. So, to avoid being sued or annoyed, I see I must cover my ass.
There is first a general disclaimer and then a medical disclaimer so don’t give me that “tl;dr” crap–read the whole page, all the way down to the bottom. I will assume any visitor has read this entire page so it is in your best interests to know what’s here. Also, read it again from time to time in case I update it.
General Disclaimer
I am not your mommy, your daddy, Aunt Flo, Uncle Jeebus, your granny, the press, the military, the government, organized religion, the Secretary-General of the U.N., the tinfoil hat aliens come to stick a probe up your butt, God, Satan, the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, nor Robert Atkins, MD come back from the dead to whup ass all over PETA for lying about how he died.
I am not here to validate you, hurt your feelings, or threaten your existence. I am just writing a goddamn blog. If you like it, read it. If you don’t, go away. Nobody is making you sit here staring at this page except you.
I will likely bitch about veganism from time to time (I can see some slight validity in ovo-lacto vegetarianism though), so if you’re with PETA or PCRM, you will not like this blog. That’s your problem, not mine. I’m tired of everyone giving you a free pass when what you’re preaching is bullshit. I don’t even like the vegan-friendly ingredients trend at Etsy, I’m so sick of the whole mess. If you want coddled, go home to your mommy. Not my job. You’re not paying me enough.
I will probably also bitch about the fat acceptance movement. There is not enough room here for me to explain my reasoning without losing the reader’s attention, just trust that I find it lacking and do not support the official particulars of the movement as they stand now.
I also think the Junk Food Science blog is mostly bullshit, not because it exposes hypocrisy among the Diet Dictocrats–that part is fine–but because its original material is every bit as much junk science as the junk science it’s exposing. Seriously, I am not going to find the link right now but I seem to recall that blogger lumping Atkins in with junk-science-laden dietary “fads” while glibly dismissing health concerns with a suggestion to follow a low-calorie, low-fat diet. The woman is a mainstream nutritionist. From the same group of assholes who have been giving us all bad advice for forty years now. Why are you listening to her?
Then there’s the propensity of every other LC blogger I see to extol the virtues of libertarianism, the evils of Obama (I didn’t vote for the guy–I vote Green–but gimme a break, he’s not Satan nor Stalin), or the necessity of accepting Jesus Christ as one’s personal Lord and Savior because otherwise you’re a socialist economy-destroying baby killer. If I wanted to spend my time fighting the urge to argue with people (and usually losing), I’d read vegan blogs.
So, if you’re a hypocrite, an idiot, a libertardian or a fundie, expect me to shoot your sacred cow sooner or later. I will not pass up any reasonable opportunity to save money on steak. Don’t like it? Invoke some of that personal responsibility you expect poor people and Democrats to practice, and get the hell off my site. Thanks in advance.
