🚨NEW PATREON ARTICLE!🚨 In this one, I went down a rabbit hole and discovered a disturbing link between tech choices and animal exploitation that hardly anyone is talking about. Good news is that there are ways for you to avoid contributing! ❤️✌️ patreon.com/posts/foss-for…
"Surely it isn't this thing that's been extensively characterized in the literature for fifty years!

I haven't had anything remotely resembling a keto rash. You're probably referring to oxalate dumping
I don't remember people being this spineless when I was younger. Back then, if someone had a grievance with you, they would eagerly settle it verbally— either in person or over the phone. These days, the vast majority of people don't even seem interested in resolving the disputes…
I need people to understand that these food companies are laughing at you. Rather than pushing the companies to do literally anything to make their foods healthier, they are getting away with a purely cosmetic change and getting claim a health halo. If anything, these…
Blue Bell is making ice cream healthy again by removing all artificial dyes. Proud to have a distribution location in KCK🍦
Pretty sure it's nitrites that are concerning with cured meats, Chris. Not nitrates. 😜

If you think this resembles, or will ever resemble, clinical practice with respect to cholesterol management, then we're not existing in the same universe.
2026: "You look amazing and feel amazing, but this one arbitrary marker called cholesterol is high. Better go back to being sick, unhealthy and depressed so the teacher can give you a golden star on your paper."
*Mom returns from the hospital, diagnosed with afib* Me: "I think it's time to start taking weight loss seriously." Mom: "And how do I do that?" Me: "You'd qualify for Wegovey." Mom: "I'm on enough medications." Me: "Wegovey would reduce your medication burden." Mom: "No…
The next frontier in medicine is not listening to people who say crap like this. NO ONE is out here claiming heart disease is caused by a statin deficiency, Mark. 🤦🏽♀️
Oh, my sweet summer child.
You don’t have a single RCT to back that claim up with. In fact. The most rigorous RCTs show that you are blatantly wrong.
Stating this when more, better research exists only reinforces Patrick’s role as an unserious engagement farmer (not coincidentally talking to Ben Bikman of all people here).
High-dose GLP-1 receptor agonists (like Ozempic) may double the risk of suicidal behavior, blindness, and depression These links are correlational—more research is needed—but caution is warranted There's also the issue of muscle loss (it's still unclear if this is a direct…
I wonder what sort of carbon emissions are associated with people simply being polite and thanking LLMs for giving them answers, haha.
One of the most hilarious examples of public health theatre to date. Seed oils are literally healthier than saturated animal fats, and have likely saved countless lives. This is only controversial among quacks. It's wild that policymakers are being duped this hard by memes. 🤡
Seed Oil Labeling Will Be Mandatory in Louisiana Restaurants Starting January 1, 2028, restaurants and food service establishments in Louisiana must post a visible disclaimer if they use or cook with seed oils: “Some menu items may contain or be prepared using seed oils.”
I actually highly doubt you'd disagree with any of these views if they were elaborated upon. They're actually quite pedestrian. I haven't met a single person who disagrees with me about any of those things. Not even carnists.

Just got back from the hospital. X-rays and CT done. No broken ribs. So, that's good. Apparently the name of the game now is just to crush T3s like they're fucking candy. 🥴
Not sure why you're putting the word holocaust in quotes. It's literally the word that describes what's happening.
Do you think indigenous people are participating in this “holocaust”? Or the various eastern thinking that lean vegetarian? Veganism is new — a western concept mostly. Why do you think western/european thinking is the correct one? The east/rest of the world is not into veganism…
The simplest way to understand modern obesity medications? They make healthy habits easier to sustain. That’s why medications and lifestyle change aren’t in conflict. They’re symbiotic. One clears the path; the other walks it.
