That's a lot of words to say "my beliefs trump basic science".

Peer review reproduction is a bit of a shambles tbh, so not the silver bullet people make it out to be in some fields, agreed.

So let's leave the science aside for now and focus on what you are proposing.

"Just eat less" is about as productive as "Just don't be sad" or "Just stop drinking alcohol", technically correct but woefully inadequate as a practical solution for most people.

edit: before you get even more angry i'm not saying that eating less and exercising more doesn't work, actually read the statement.

Aside from anecdotes and "trust me bro", what knowledge have you shared so far, what solutions ?

I'm legitimately willing to listen to something you can even halfway prove.

lol, you couldn't make it one sentence without randomly bringing Trump into this. Are you scared RFK is gonna make you illegal? I'm not reading the rest of that, go touch grass

Wait, seriously....no..that can't possibly be true...

You do understand that the word trump exists outside of the name.... Right?

Oh my, im glad you didn't read the rest of it, so many complicated words.

Good luck, you are absolutely going to need it

😅 Oh man, that's my bad. I'm so used to Reddit that I was positive I knew what kind of post this was. I still maintain my point, but that was a stupid reaction on my part

Fair enough, i could probably also do with being a bit less sarcastic to things that might just be honest mistakes.

As a genuine question, what point are you maintaining, I've lost the thread and don't know which one you mean?
