Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Clif Bars do not say they are healthy, but look at the packaging and think about what it is saying to the consumer.

It says "sustained energy." Energy is good! So that must mean it's good for you! And then there's that healthy-looking mountain climber. That's the sort of person who would eat a Clif Bar, right? A healthy mountain climber and not some person who sits on their butt in an office cubicle all day. And look at those mountains in the background! That's nature! These bars must have natural ingredients!

It's much more subtle than you think. And, like I said, it works.
