The OP mentioned how she was approached by a stranger in the grocery store who felt it was their place to lecture her on the evils of dry food. Is this any different from some of the lecturing that goes on here? I think not. There is a lot of judgement here around choice, and there shouldn't be. No diet is perfect!
Exactly. The OP asked for information here, but not in the store.
l only saw people openly answering the OP's question, "ls it bad?" Each person has their own opinion, and four people offered their personal opinions without judgement of others' (you were one of the four).
Then you posted a second time, judging others' opinions by calling them "blanket statements".
If l'm one of these people "...but I find when it comes to these kinds of discussions, the same parroted comments come out time and again", that's because it's my opinion on whether or not dry food is bad, which is what the OP solicited.
No one judged the OP, did they?
The comment about 'judgement' was in general. There is judgement that goes on here about choice, I have seen it happen, and posts have been removed because of it.
Referring to things said as 'blanket statements', is not a judgement but a suggestion that comments or statements made are not entirely true. Judging people for their choices by admonishing or denigrating them, IS a judgement.
