Comments on: Why We Obsess Over Celebrity Weight http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/04/why-we-obsess-over-celebrity-weight/ Diet Column - bringing you all the best diet news and opinions Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:31:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Brooke http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/04/why-we-obsess-over-celebrity-weight/comment-page-1/#comment-8114 Brooke Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:52:42 +0000 http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/?p=7360#comment-8114 Well, Puck, Heather is right in part about the use of the "editorial we". "We" refers to people in general -on average- or our readers; it does not always, as in this case, include me specifically. I am a strong proponent that there are generally more within group differences than between group differences. I seek diversity in people and opinions, and I am glad that you feel comfortable sharing that you do not agree. Heather, thank you for your response and the reminder to utilize diaphragmatic breathing to help ourselves relax.

Did you ever stop to think that the writers of articles are using the "editorial we"? It's used commonly in writing to avoid being too personal or specific by using "I" or to represent a collective viewpoint. Anyway if you had bothered to read the entire article you'd know that Brooke is agreeing with you kind of. She's say celebs weight problems or lack there of aren't really newsworthy, that bigger things are going on in the world. So everyone deep breath in..... and out.

I don't give a damn about celebrities or what they think, or wear, or their political views ... Most are a bunch of airheads without the brains God gave a goose. So please say something like, " A portion of he people are obsessed with celebrities weight but most of the populace wouldn't give a Tinkers Dam to know anything about them " Why is it, that in this article as with so many others , you include everyone as if everyone actually reads you , or agrees with you, or considers the topic to be worthwhile… I don’t give a damn about celebrities or what they think, or wear, or their political views … Most are a bunch of airheads without the brains God gave a goose.
