We are all talking about treats we enjoyed when we were kids.
I don't see how the statement "I feel healthy. Eating candy promotes weight gain and diabetes" is meant to do anything other than make people feel guilty.
I didn't realize the rules are so strict that I'm not allowed to express what's important to me. Fun to me is being healthy. And a word of caution shouldn't hurt, but help people to realize that the past is the past. Reminiscing is fine, in my opinion, as long as the purpose isn't to rekindle a desire to start indulging again, as some might have done as a child. We all did dumb things as kids, like eat candy. I ate some too.

Now don't forget folks, I'm not the one making a big thing out of this. I'm simply responding to an attack.
