I eat at McDonald's once a week, and I log onto Facebook a couple of times per month. This sounds like a recovering alcoholic ranting about how alcohol is evil and nobody should drink it.

I got a similar vibe. It talks about how facebook can be bad for some people, but then basically calls out everyone for being unhealthy. I react to this the same way I react to someone who sees a small part of my life (like me grabbing a shitty McDonald's burger) and extrapolates my entire physical and mental health based on that small point. And that reaction is usually "piss off, you're being really presumptuous."

While you're both correct, I really do think things like twitter do fit somewhat into if not fast food, maybe candy category of social/interaction.

It feels empty. I vastly prefer chilling out in person, even if there isn't a ton of conversation, its preferable to texting on my phone or whatever.
