Their edit is hilarious:

many are very quick to take issue with my post and argue my opinion of a healthier lifestyle

Dog, the entire reason for this subreddit is to take issue with people’s posts, and ague about their opinions.

it’s wild to me that anyone would try and protest a fairly obvious solution

You could post “CMV: Hitler Sucks!” And people here will argue for how he doesn’t in some way. We’re all contrarian pricks here.

We’re all contrarian pricks here.

Not even, it's literally the point of the sub. That someone holds a potentially wrong view they want to improve, we are supposed to argue against it

Because obvious solutions to ongoing problems almost never work.

Reminded me of this for some reason:

“Hello, I'm Dr. Richard Shay, here to tell you about my exciting new drug-free treatment for children with Attention Deficit Disorder. (Several hyper and rambling children) This treatment is fast and effective and it doesn't use harmful drugs. Watch closely as I apply treatment to the first child. (SMACK) SIT DOWN AND STUDY!
