I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
brigading and extensive use of sockpuppet accounts to suppress things they don’t like.
spread unfounded claims about saturated fat and animal protein
diluting the literature with weak epidemiology and making logically fallacious claims of consensus is truth, not to mention paper count isn’t consensus
no tolerance of apostates who used to follow the diet and now do better on a different diet
wont engage in good faith in discussions about nutrition and health: what-about-isms, appeals to authority, citation bombing, citation bluffing, extensive goal post moving (even if x is healthy, what about y)
a very aggressive segment of their supporters has given them a bad name
