@Jamesuk9 Yes, I mentioned your avatar pic - but not in any derogatory way, and as an indication of why I think you feel your views are justified. That isn't a personal attack. It is an explanation.
I also mentioned your age. Again, not in a derogatory way, but as an illustration.
There are many, many people on the forum who feel the way you do, but the only ones with actual experience of what I am talking about are those for whom your simplistic ideas do not fit. And most of us are female, older and fatter.
It is not derogatory to try and explain, in clear terms, why we (older fatter females) are often being told by younger, slimmer people with no experience of the issue, disagree.
