Holy crap, you guys.

I'd like to take a few moments out of my busy morning (read: listening to classical music and sipping coffee in my Castro guesthouse, DAHHHLINK) to point you people in the direction of a very, very interesting series of events that has taken place during the last day or so on them internets.  I know that a lot of my readers are IRL friends who do not subscribe to "healthy living" blogs, so I'd be especially interested in hearing your thoughts as outsiders about this fire flaxseedstorm.

1. Marie Claire published an article about healthy living bloggers.
2. Folks done got pissed off.
3. Some of the bloggers mentioned in the articles issued responses.  
4. Some of the bloggers in the article invited fans to email the article's author or leave a comment on Marie Claire's Facebook page.
5. Other bloggers have chimed in with their thoughts.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

I need some more coffee and classical music, but I assure you that I will publish my thoughts on this whole debacle, perhaps when things settle down a bit.  One thing I will say: The saddest part about this whole ordeal is threefold.
          One, It's hard to be a blogger and criticize or disagree with the hugely successful bloggers without coming off as butthurt.
          Two, the majority of responses I've read on MC's Facebook page are unintelligibly rabid blogfan drivel.  Exhibit A: "I would totally punch that Katie Drummond girl in the boob if I ever met her...what a tool sack!"  ...Really?  I wish we could have a real discussion about this!
          And Three, I don't think the article will change anything.
