dude, just stop. the guy is firmly in the anti-fat camp, probably a vegan, and his mind is made up. did you notice his smarmy and condescending tone?

his frame of reference is so incompatible with what you're trying to communicate that he literally can't even talk to you like an adult.

you might as well try to convince him gravity pulls things up.

While I will concede I failed to convince him, I think he was polite and civil, which amongst those who disagree is rare these days.
i don't think condescension is polite.
Coming from someone who earlier proclaimed, "i'm a keto True Believer[tm]", it's quite ironic seeing you say this. I wonder why I've struck such a chord with you?
