Riddalin: the all-purpose cure
Over in cooking, health-conscious user changeopresto has a bone to pick. You see, the United States is currently being ravaged by an obesity epidemic, and she has made it her personal mission to change that. Thus, she humbly requests that all "non-healthy" recipes be placed behind a cut.

Other users quickly point out that she is in a general cooking community that accepts all types of recipes, and that it can be hard to objectively define what is and isn't healthy. And of course, she is not a mod and should just use the scroll button.

The wank takes a turn for the truly bizarre in that last thread. ladyartemisa points out that what is healthy varies from person to person - for example, her husband has hypertension and must cut down on salt, while she is pregnant with low blood pressure and must load up on salt.

changeopresto is confused. "Ok well I don't know what doctor is prescribing a low salt diet for hypertension. I thought they gave people riddalin for that."

obfuscate brings the snark which immediately leads to changeopresto uttering the comment of a million lulz. Protip: The 'H' is ADHD does not stand for hypertension.

Bonus lulz: Pastry is not real. Also, butter.

400+ comments, so there's plenty more wank to be found. And of course, changeopresto edits the original post with the mandatory, "GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!"

ETA: If you find something through otf_wank you really should resist replying.

	What, do the recipes themselves contain calories that you absorb just by looking at them? Otherwise, I can't see the point of putting them behind a cut. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Clearly, just like the Internets also transmits Teh Gheyz through the reading of porn and video games will give you Teh Evilz. Granted, by that logic you'd think that the vast majority of the people here would be homicidal machete-wielding horndogs with astral bonds to Transformers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Of course I'm not! I can't very well mock that if I have an astral bond to R2-D2. (Yeah, I know about three Transformers.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Well, fat people are lazy. And so, if you put it behind a cut, then they won't be assed to click on it as it's extra work. Also, by putting it behind a cut, you're helping to keep them from rushing to the store immediately and buying everything to make it because fatties have no impulse control. So, you're helping!!!! I don't get it either. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	No, see, everyone knows us fatties are fat because we have no self-control! So if they put the fatty recipes behind a cut, we won't see them and be compelled to make them and eat ourselves even fatter! (We also won't just click on the cut, cause everyone knows fatties are too LAZY for that!) (Reply to this)(Parent)
