It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Part of the reason it's becoming increasingly widespread is that unhealthy foods are extremely prevalent and even misrepresented as being healthy and natural. People don't just get up and decide, "Eh, fuck it: I'm gonna get fat!"
It's a little disingenuous to say it like they're doing it on purpose. It can be especially difficult to eat healthy for people who are less well off and live in food deserts that lack any affordable way for them to get healthy food.
