What's with all the extreme diets being pushed lately?
If people want to eat better why don't they just push out the processed junk

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.
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.
Just live your life how you want mang and try to look for the good things in people.
We are tribal beings, that shit is deeply ingrained in us, you and I probably have positions that we adopted because we chose a side and don't even realize it.
>Were people always like this?
Have you ever bothered looking into roman history? Or chinese, where making factions in the imperial court came with a death sentence?
>roman history
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.
>chinese, where making factions in the imperial court came with a death sentence?
Sounds lulzy as fuck. I'd love to read some literature on that.
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.
>Fail exam
>20.000.000 - 30.000.000 dead
Read the wiki article on that. That shit is wild as fuck.
I'm gonna have to find some good historical accounts of that.
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.
Sounds great. I don't mind him being in China in fact I'm happy to not have a Western globohomo take.
My next drink is in your honor
The madlad even quoted the british correspondance regarding tiananmen square several times.
>Students linked arms but were mown down including soldiers. APCs then ran over bodies time and time again to make 'pie' and remains collected by bulldozer. Remains incinerated and then hosed down drains.
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 fuck 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.
Pic very related
It's because diet shit is literally all bullshit.
The vaccines that directly inject the most toxic substance on earth (ethylmercury) into your veins is what's making most people insane and their immune systems hyper-reactive.

Fad diets have been a thing since the 80s. I vaguely remember a Hollywood actress (Jennifer Aniston?) eating fucking baby food to lose weight and that became a fad diet for a while.
the keto one is actually showing carnivore is it not?
>hey guys we need to sell more shrimp or whatever
>how do we do that?
>idk push some seafood diet so more goyim will eat it
But shrimp is delicious, and even though I live in a European coastal nation it’s still expensive as fuck.
If the garden gnomes could reduce the international shrimp prices, I would thank them
Here in America it's $12/lb. You?
No less than $40/2 lbs, aka 20 dollars for one kilo shrimp. We have high wages tho, but still expensive
Yeah I live in the Midwest. If I were coastal it'd probably be a lot cheaper.
American master race
>Midwest
where's the corn?
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.
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.
Too close to home.
define 'processed' without getting snippy
Changed from its natural form
so what, ground beef?
Yes
no because i can make ground beef at home. i cant make canola oil or HFCS at home. are you really this retarded?
wow, get a load of the clown not making his own HFCS at home, ngmi
If you could realistically get it without a factory or from a store
Because they work
Meme all you want about optimization but if you do a specified diet manipulating macros, calories and naturally produced hormones you will get better and quicker results
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 paleofag 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.
People want a miracle cure instead of eating a balanced diet consistently
carnivore is not extreme its the appropriate human diet. anything else is just cope
>eats a diet that only 0.0001% of humans who lived in freezing tundra and died of atherosclerosis at 40 eat
This black and white thinking is pure cancer.
>freezing tundra is every area in the world with winter
your so stupid, how did primordial man eat plants for the 9 months a year where nothing is growing?
I am asking myself as to whether I should make a serious response to your extreme mental illness.
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 fucking gay plants are
Reaching a critical point of fat americans trying to make food their personality and people refusing to cut back on calories. Keto for example promised infinite calories but then they all have to go on fasts to lose weight, so it's cico.
Is it too hard to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables and meat while limiting proceased foods and stuff that is obviously bad for you like soda and Cheetos?
>vegetables
enjoy constipation and having no money, lmao
