I don't "usually" bite my tongue regarding what people eat.  I did it in 
a single post to Keely, in tongue-in-cheek fashion, and for two 
specific reasons.  First, she is my best friend since seventh grade.  
Second, she is my younger son's godmother.  In both cases, I have 
a deep and vested interest in the state of her health, and I will use 
whatever means I have available to ensure that it continues in the 
best of possible states for as long as possible.  I present 
information to the rest of you.  To Keely (and those others to whom I 
am not just a set of opinionated pixels on a screen, but a real flesh-
and-blood human being) I occasionally nag.  I try to do it in a friendly 
fashion, but if Keely dies on the OR table having her gallbladder 
removed, I'm out a best friend and my baby is out a godmother, and 
I will do whatever I can to see that that never comes to pass.

And I don't believe anyone has asked you to explain yourself.
