This just comes off as "well, you're mean!"
Then you've missed the point entirely.
My goal here is not to appeal to emotions, or to be nice.
Then very few people are going to be interested in what you have to say. Stop kneecapping yourself. Unless, of course, you don't give a crap about helping other people live healthier lives, as you see it. In which case, you're basically just interested in telling people they're wrong, not changing their minds.
TL;DR: people don't give a fuck what you have to say if you're a dick about it.
