  You might think you’re “offering health options” but in reality it’s just unsolicited advice which no matter the subject is almost always unwelcome at best and counterproductive at worst.

  It’s like if I told you to backup your computer or run a virus scan on your computer. Yes it’s good advice for good maintenance tasks on any computer but you know just how likely those tasks are to fix whatever you’re dealing with on your computer at this moment, and if that’s advise you really needed you need much more information than is provided to actually meaningfully use the advice. If your unsolicited advise is only a sentence long, it’s too vague to be useful to someone who needs it and to anyone else it’s unhelpful and belittling to assume they don’t already know that.

  TL;DR “offering health options” is a form of fat shaming

    I’m not the one offering healthy options. It is more of a cultural thing to offer healthy items when possible. When I travel to some states it is hard to find fresh food.
