I tried to think of a better title but it was the best way to describe the phenomena I am wondering about. Also, incase anyone wants to start up the debate that has raged on this forum please take it to the other thread, that is not what this is about. I am not questioning anybody on this forum.

Now, onto the problem at hand. What is it about the health and fitness field that everyone thinks they are an expert? Everyone has come across a situation where someone feels the need to give you their input on what you are doing and how you are doing it wrong or you should do it there way.

This seems to be a unique problem to the fitness field, or at least unique in how wide-spread it is. I don't have people coming up to me telling me what I am doing wrong or how I should do something else when I am fixing computers, or working, or anything else. But I make even the slightest mention of a workout or eating plan and all of a sudden everyone I talk to is a trainer and feels I need their input or corrections to my plans because they read/heard/seen whatever.

I was just wondering what everyone thought the cause of this is, and lets not forget all the garbage floating around online or on tv.
