And yet books, talk shows, diet gurus and more magazine articles than I care to count advocate shaming your loved ones, friends, casual acquaintances and even perfect strangers into losing the extra poundage.

For me, it was my friend nicknamed – via the misguided use of voice recognition software – Barrel of Carrots.
