[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1744550, member: 459333"] Yes, it's a pity that we have to cope with the psychological effect of judgmentalism on top of all the other stuff. It's a really difficult subject for all of us, I think. It particularly irks me that the people who judge most loudly and publicly are often the least informed. And then there's the humane side of it all - even if someone has made mistakes in life, that doesn't make them evil and they don't deserve to be punished, and ridiculed, and hated for it. I think people have this idea in their head of someone with T2 saying "I'm going to eat these 100 pies and you are going to pay my medical bill". But that's just not the way it is. Behind T2 there is a lot of dietary misinformation, unhappiness, guilt, misery and an environment piled with unhealthy food. I think sometimes people are so fixated on judging certain people that they forget there are actually genuinely bad people out there who murder and rape. Presumably the rapists and murderers would need to be fat and Type 2 in order to be the target of that judgmentalism. Anyway I love the 'informative' tag and I see I now have a 'creative' one! I might end up with a full house :) Presumably someone could find it 'useful' on some level and tag it as useful? Not sure how, but I live in hope! [/QUOTE]
