It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yeah, it's a health fad. The current trend amongst health quacks is to decry plants as toxic and to insist that you should be eating more and more animal products. The concern with seed oils is that they're processed unnaturally and mess with your blood sugar levels in unhealthy ways, so you should be eating a full stick of 100% Grass Fed Organic Butter every day instead

We are going to look back and laugh at how people said with a straight face that burgers are a superfood and vegetables are bad for you. It's like an 8 year old boy doing wishful thinking. It's pretty blatant that they are pure beef shills.

My evidence? Blue Zones, a current hub-bub among libs. Literally most of them have in common with eating mostly plants, and on the rare occasion they do eat meat, it's usually grilled fish or skinless chicken.

Ah so it's just an extension of the J.Peterson grift then. I thought they got over the butter in coffee stuff already.

Lol and like butter isn't processed by churning and fermentation. About just as much as your average rapeseed oil where the seeds just basically get pressed afaik. But if they want to find ways to justify endless meat and dairy consumption this does work for that.

Making people like this understand that chopping = processed is never going to happen.
