Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

responding to this pseudoscientific garbage...completely fucking wrong.

Why must our communication always be so hostile and confrontational?

health fad with zero clinical evidence of any health benefits

Do you really want to debate the merits of carnivore? Here is my detail position, with references

But even assuming i'm totally wrong about the benefits of a ketogenic metabolism and avoiding inflammatory plant foods - This doesn't diminish my citations above on RDAs or fibre.

They’re the “smoking doesn’t cause cancer, and it’s good because it helps you relax” type of quack you’d see in the 1960s in the face of increasingly overwhelming scientific evidence otherwise. They’re trying to drag as many impressionable people as they can to lifelong, debilitating health issues. You arguably cannot find a less trustworthy source of nutritional information on this website for just how steeped in disinformation they are.

These are just personal attacks against character and nothing for me to refute.

I will continue to loudly advertise the shortcomings of a plant-based diet whenever it’s even somewhat relevant. This is because I treat my diet as a nice side effect of my ethics, not a bullshit pseudoscience panacea to our accelerating health crisis.

This is why I hope we could have meaningful discussions (eventually). I saw your post above and thought it was well reasoned and cited, and wanted to contribute. Maybe we could have spoken about the literature on protein sparing in fasted states... but we are stuck at ad hominem attacks.
