Enjoy your glass of city water filled with chemicals like flouride." Now I'm thinking this is just something they do and she's not an innocent bystander. She knows how to dish it out too, rather than trying to set a good example. So, being just like them, maybe she deserves these friends.

Then she wrote a whole paragraph to convince readers how healthy she is. After going on about how healthy her lifestyle is, she says: "In other words, I'm not health obsessed, but I do alright." So it seems like she wants to have it both ways. She's healthy but not obsessed, in her opinion. And drinking an occasional Diet Coke proves it.

My question: Was this set up as an advertisment for Diet Coke? It sure sounds like it to me.
I think you missed the few humorous aspects of this article. I don't think it was meant for detailed examination and analysis. I think it was just someone trying to author a Viral Blog. And they succeeded.
