OK, let's look at those:

I don't think that my body improvement paradigm dominates my
thoughts. I think about sex and politics more than diet, but don't
post much about politics--and very little about sex--to a "food" NG.

I suffer no "uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry" about diet and
exercise.

I'm not preoccupied with dietary fats, but I am very curious and
interested. Besides, it isn't an unreasonable thing. It's based on
medical research. I *am* persistent in trying to reduce my body fat,
increasing upper body muscle mass, and improving my blood lipid
ratios--and I'm doing it without statins, or even niacin. If I was
obsessed, I'd be feeling anxiety over the fact that I had 4 slices of
pizza for dinner, and am having a few lower carb cheap beers, but I'm
not anxious at all because I'm using those extra carbs as part of
resistance training, and this evening I followed the pizza with
strenuous weightlifting.

I just refuted all three of your points/definitions. It's you who are
into a nutty stage of life. I'd welcome you making a case than any of
my health-related posts are incorrect, but when you demean them you
are showing yourself to be unconcerned with an important aspect of
public health. You just seem like you're interested in picking
fights, even if the side you argue has little merit. That's nutty.
