of course by "our", I meant people who self-identify as Christians.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I have a bowl of cereal instead of an entire bag of chips while I watch TV at night, I won't be such a fat pig? WOW I NEVER KNEW THAT.
I've had a guy eating donuts for breakfast ask me what sort of things he should do to lose weight.
I've had a spin instructor not believe me when I said a low-carb diet would interfere with his gig.
I've had people ask me what had carbs in it and what didn't. Like they didn't get the whole starch thing.
I've argued at length about what constitutes a complex and what's a simple carbohydrate.
You knew, but a lot of people don't.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
TOO LATE! YOU MADE THE SWEEPING GENERALIZATION AND I GET TO BE SMUG ABOUT IT MSBELLE.

NO YOU DO NOT!!! Well, you can be smug all you want, but it s wronmgheaded smugness.
People can clarify and explain their posts, they can even adjust their stances on things and CHANGE THEIR OPINIONS!
Open your heart woman.
Also? you are not the boss of me, or this thread. so there.

Allyson--have you watched Crash? You might not be deep enough to get what msbelle's saying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also? NICE TALK ON THE DAY OF OUR LORD SAVIOR'S RESURRECTION!!
Ah, but that's how I know I can get away with the potty mouth. Jesus said so.
Just like Slim Fast.
Dude -- this is even worse (to me). They've moved on past the "eat our cereal for two meals a day" into "replace your ENTIRE CAKE of a nighttime snack with our cereal."
You knew, but a lot of people don't.
But three of your four examples are way more complex than "a bowl of diet cereal has fewer calories than a jumbo bag of chips."

Not according to ita. She claims there should be no takebacks.

It is your opinion that the people they're trying to reach know jack about nutrition. It is mine that there are enough ignorant people for it to be a viable marketing strategy. I have no numbers to provide you, though.

I claim that precedent has been set, and takebacks are allowed. Pay you no attention?

Okay, this Lifetime TV movie (it's a Colin appearance, or I wouldn't be here) is slower than frozen molasses. Conflicts? Few and far between.
