Just that's enough : Life doesn't worth the cost to be lived if you must eat a plant based diet on Scandinavia.

 A general rule for me is to try and stick to real food. 80/20 is a good ratio or 70/30; no lower than that where 70/80% is real food. By real food, I mean buying real apples instead of in a can or raw or frozen spinach instead of canned or creamed or fresh pineapple instead of the ones in boxes or canned. Stuff like that. Limit junk foods and processed foods and white breads and boxed up cereals. Things in the center isle of the supermarket. 

the lack of mention of meat got me sad but otherwise good summary

I would read the major government recommendations because they’re not there for no reason, there’s science consensus echo chamber behind it.

Yes, I probably always will

[Sugarcoat]

@RendHeaven Don’t know what that means

Assuming that's the case, I honestly see nothing else out there that would be any different.

There is very little I see in the low carb or carnivore communities that is separable from fairy tales, ego and almost a stage purple superstition with an appeal to palaeolithic ancestry, (usually disconnected from the actual evidence in anthropology because most people don't bother to read books anymore ). All I see is an army of stage orange gym rats marching of a cliff singing "24 eggs and 2 pounds a beef a day makes being a pussy go away" and I'm not sure I buy into that. Maybe if I was 20 again, I would have. I was of similar mindset back then...

But this extends to vegan groups, the vegetarian groups, raw foodies, keto people and all of them pretty much. All of them have their own fairy tales and biases, some more than other. 

But my point is, presuming we can't trust science and evidence to form our choices and have faith that what we do is safe..... what else do people have? 

I am all for common sense and "see how it makes you feel" but then frankly eating Kinder Bueno, Nesquik and McChicken makes me feel pretty darn good in the moment but I have no illusion that they are particularly good for me in the long run 

Not looking for a fight just tossing the ball back to your court 

Agreed

There is very little I see in the low carb or carnivore communities that is separable from fairy tales, group hive mind thinking and almost a stage purple superstition with an appeal to palaeolithic ancestry, (usually disconnected from the actual evidence in anthropology, archaeology and palaeontology because most people don't bother to read books anymore ).

You are getting ahead of yourself, none of us are keto or carnivores.

There is especially no genealogical evidence in favor of veganism, strictly no vegan people have existed.
On the other hand, there were plenty of tribes and even entire civilizations (Indus Valley civilization, before the arrival of the Vedas and Hindu vegan traditions) that tended towards a carnivorous diet.

The use of fire and even more so agriculture is recent, humans could not have evolved with a diet rich in carbohydrates, it is impossible.
But on the other hand there is archaeological evidence of massive hunts by homosapiens in East and Southern Africa.

There is also anthropological and archaeological evidence that the growth of the human cerebral cortex began and is progressively correlated with migrations to the Nile and the development of fishing.

I have never seen a carnivore talk about virility, it is a projection of the proponents of the plant based diet; Carnivore doctors and insist rather insist on things like practicality, intestinal comfort, weight gestion, energy stability, fertility and very practical things like that.

And maybe indeed animal products are necessary for androgenity in one way or another when i see the total absence of it in most of the most famous vegan youtubers.

I tease.

Raw foodism is actually somehow logical and the vegans i knows that are in best shape follow this kind of diet.

You claim that science supports your view.

@Schizophonia good response albeit largely  generated by AI. It would take too much time for me to research each of your claims in depth as I'm not familiar with this population data. 

Anyways i was arguing about the macro position of this.

If we can't rely on the evidence because it is echo chamber, what do we have to inform public? How do we make public health recommendations? 

 

So you would say for example the Nordic nutrition recommendations is a reliable source?

My criticism wasn't on the echo chamber dynamic but the content. It was rendheaven's one.

@Sugarcoat i know, nothing bad with joking but it brings down the quality of the entire thread. Keep it to WhatsApp maybe? 🙂

I understand you definitely are right. I will change my behavior
