Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

fat is healthy… …and shouldn’t be avoided

Incorrect. Modern processed foods make it extremely easy to exceed healthy amounts, bypassing the point where you’d normally no longer want to eat any more (your eat a bunch of butter example).

I agree that carbohydrates combined with fat are unhealthy. Inflammation from triggering the randle cycle cross inhibition. As well as elevated insulin levels suppressing proper hunger signaling leading to over consumption. However, the evil culprit here is not the fat, even when eaten in excess fat does not have a deleterious effect on the body, its the processed carbohydrates that cause the damage. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/saturated-fat#evidence-to-date

I'm not gonna deal with a comment for each point. Especially considering I can barely make out what your actual position is.

Please improve your writing comprehension, I don't want to talk to you through your lack of it. This is probably the biggest case of talking past each other I've ever run into on lemmy.

I made a comment for each point so the details wouldn't get lost in huge posts.

Here is my actual, 100% what I have knowledge to support, position:

  • carbohydrates are not essential
  • fat is healthy and shouldn't be avoided
  • cico isn't helpful
  • industrial food oils are not good for you
  • cholesterol is healthy
  • meat is healthy, avoiding meat is bad for health
  • grains should be avoided and not be the base of people's diets

Right. Because seven separate comments is so much easier to navigate and read than one well-structured one.

I made my points clearly, regardless. Your points grossly oversimplify whether you flip them or not.
