Oh, no! I didn't take the link as a criticism at all, and I'd like to think that the health, fitness and food blogging I do comes from a purely "this is cool and I'm loving it" perspective. But I found myself thinking that if I met the woman Twisty Faster describes herself to be, thoughts about the relationship between her (apparent) lifestyle and her health would have crossed my mind.

It was educational for me to read what she had to say about it, because it forced me to realize how deeply entrenched those ideas are in my brain. One is always one's own "average" when it comes to judgement, I think: "I may not be as perfect as so-and-so over there [skinny, beautiful, healthy, fit], but I'm not as bad as that person [smoker, drug-dependent, fatter than me, sedentary]" and therefore I am "just about right".

We all do it, I think. It's salutary to be made conscious of it.
