The only people who say "don't do X" are those who have no interest in X, and just enjoy being moral scolds, and don't have a serious interest in improving anyone's life, despite what they claim.
Because if you are serious about improving people's lives, you must meet them where they are, not where you imagine they ought to be. To use another analogy, being a moral scold is dealing with the world as 'oughts' when the world is a series of 'is'.
By another analogy, if you had a child who was having a problem with some vice, if you were to merely periodically send them a letter or mini-lecture pointing out they ought not to do the thing, you would be open to accusations that you did not do your best to help them.
Now obviously on the internet you cannot just reach into everyone's lives, but carrying about with overly broad rhetoric leaves everyone with the sense that after hitting 'reply' one sat back self satisfied they had made the world better by their words.
So let me reup: food is complex, and anyone who says that eating healthy is easy is wrong. They might find eating healthy is easy for them, but empirically they're so obviously wrong - if it were easy to eat healthy, then there would be no type 2 diabetes.
