    Seriously, on one hand you got people saying that meat is bad, chock full of harmful cholesterol and saturated fat, that you're going to get a heart attack if you eat it and die young.

    Then on the other hand you got people saying that literally ALL plants are toxic and filled with antinutrients. Often people will jump right from one side to the next. Where's the balance? Where's the reasonability?

      There's none of that, you choose a side, forget any reasonable positions you had that went even slightly against your side and adopt your "team"'s arguments fully.
      Just like in politics.

        The real answer is the nihilism of the modern culture and the inability to accept their own death. So folks will desperately cling to the delusion that they will love forever by hopping on the next neurotic hyperconsumer trend.

        Were people always like this?

        It seems people keep getting more and more unreasonable.

        I don't want to choose a side and I don't want to define myself by what I put in my mouth. I don't understand why others do and why it's such a big deal to them. Can't we just agree that there's good and bad to everything?

          Religion, the family and nationalism all declined in the late 20th century. Our loyalties and sense of identity are now mostly corporate and political.

          50 years ago Republicans and Democrats could at least agree that they all wanted the best for America. Now the other team is the great Satan.

            That's a really interesting concept. I can't remember who it was but I think there was a writer who talked about something similar to this.

            Perhaps the problem is on a societal level. Since people are rootless and no longer tied to their homes, towns, and communities, they unconsciously seek to create new communities with shared aspects. So in a sense they become tied to their new shared identifications, and abandoning these identifications is tantamount to abandoning one's family and community in past times.

            That makes me feel very sad. We really aren't made for these conditions. It's making everyone crazy.

            My bread and butter. Always loved reading about it every chance I got when I was younger. Factionalism is no new thing but you must admit it's intensified into every aspect of modern living now. Can't butter your bread without making a political statement.

              To be honest I think you can see the same kind of fervor throughout every single upcoming rebellion/civil war. But due to development in communication we're just seeing it way earlier.

              And chinese history is must be where "tragicomic" came from.

                The History of China podcast is a pretty good start. Despite living in China he pulls no punches when it comes to criticizing the chinese, and on the web site he usually list the period/historical characters if you want to look further into it.

          Information overload. Every year a hundred new studies comes out saying X is good for you, and another hundred studies says that X is bad for you. Academia is littered with these junk studies being pumped out by idiot academics who see getting published as a necessary career step.

          People have no idea what the frick is good or bad anymore so they resort to whichever extreme resonates with them the most

            This has become a huge problem not just when comes to the science of nutrition, but into hard sciences like medicine. The most respected medical journals in the world are even saying that close to half of the medical studies being published for the past 10+ years are tainted with wrongful information or based on previous studies that were flawed to begin with.

            Shit is out of control and it's we're getting into very dangerous territory when a huge portion of science is actually just bullshit, but there's so much bullshit that there's not enough qualified or motivated people out there to properly vet it.

      Exactly. This is why I use CICO. You can ignore all this fluff, and just be reasonable. And that's why for me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

      One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

      Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

      I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

    If you want to lose fat just eat less fat, the fat you eat is the fat you wear. There's no need for all the nonsense and overcomplications.

    pushing dumb diets on ignorant insecure people has been a thing for at least 50+ years.
    Once you realize that they often contradict themself (like eggs being both good and bad for you) and popular diets like the low-fat one in the 80s/90s got pushed by the sugar industry to pump everything full of cheap sugar, you should start making your own research and listen to your own body.

    We live in uncertain times when younger people have little to aspire to and be driven for. Eating a extreme diet allows a apron to believe they have a higher level of self and knowledge passed over by most people, making them feel superior and confidant. It has nothing to do with the food itself, its narcissistic people with no drive trying to create an identity for themselves. Its no different the trans phenomenon.

    Because it provides you with a framework to reduce mental load and free up headspace. In a way restricting what you eat based on a certain diet is actually more freeing than “just eat everything in moderation bro”. What’s moderation? What counts as processed food? Where do you draw the line? Meanwhile a paleogay can just say “Neanderthals didn’t eat this so neither will I”.

    Same with workout routines. You can walk around randomly or go to the gym and just do a bunch of random exercises and it will probably work fine, at least better than someone sitting on the couch.
    But with a program you don’t have to think.

            there is literally no way to refute the obvious fact that for most of human existence, we did not consume plants as a regular staple food stuff

            we adopted plant eating as a technology to support large population in warm climates, and it led to modern cities which should show you how fricking gay plants are
