Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
  7. No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

I eat meat, but man do I see some dumb shit posted on that com. Apparently I called someone too hard on their bullshit. Hardcore carnists sure are fucking delicate. Maybe they should get a little more fiber in their diet.

Idiopathic constipation - these people were not healthy. It's a bit like saying reducing gluten for patients with celiac disease makes people healthier so no one should eat gluten.

But who cares about science when you can cherry-pick papers.

Pick a lane! Either you want scientific papers, or you don't. Ignoring papers because they don't line up with your pet hypothesis is anti-science.

also has other benefits, slowing down blood sugar absorption, and fat absorption.

Yes, this is why fibre is a anti-nutrient. If you don't eat unhealthy food this isn't a positive thing.

usually it keeps your regular too.

If people enjoying bulking up their stools, good for them, but this isn't a health benefit.
