This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

calories in, calories out. Use more than you eat and weight goes down. Eat more than you use and weight goes up. It's an oversimplification, but it's not wrong.

It's very wrong, if only for the simple reason that not all calories are the same. Eating 1000 calories worth of protein will not have the effect as eating 1000 calories of HFCS.

Please stop parroting this piece of reductionist misinformation that is used to sell us ultra-processed foods.
