See, I work on a principle of liberal apathy about such things. I have no problem with skinny people - indeed some of my best friends are skinny people - other than thinking that perhaps some sort of re-education and licensing scheme would be a good idea before allowing them to design clothes.
My 'emotional relationship' with food is so fucked up (thanks, parents!) that I routinely tune out whatever people say about it in order to satisfy the higher level objective of not making myself physically or mentally ill. So wittering about calories is something Other People do, like sport or knowing who Cheryl Cole is. It mostly works. Mostly. I couldn't give a toss what shape my thighs are in that context, though from a purely scientific viewpoint, I note that while excessive cycling can be correlated with measurable weight loss, it doesn't seem to make them any smaller.
As for a logical response being dismissed as male, that's your fault for offering solutions rather than sympathy. Rookie mistake.
There is no situation in which Ryvita can reasonably be classed as food, though.
