Different reasons for why the principle doesn't hold water resonate with different people. The tax issue was more about "if you already do this, beware of ...", not about why it's wrong (that's the rest of the post). eevilspock, who is obsessive about food, the anorexic saying "I don't need to focus on food" or the person saying "there are different ways of utilizing food, I should be thoughtful which is healthier for me and for my current goals"? There's a case to be made that being the third person who says "All my life are defined by the exact amount of calories I'm eating" is unhealthy like the first one, but saying that these are the only kind of people who gain value by food advice is a stretch.
