@iamthejeeves If he can get the fluoride out of the water, then wait a few years, he might have a chance at Big Food. Otherwise, I think mass-reception will go like this...
I remember when I was a kid in middle school everyone was talking about Yellow #5 and to avoid anything that has it in the ingredients. We all did it, we checked the labels on any candy or cookies we bought at the store, and avoided the ones with it in them. Then one day it was pointless to check, because it was in everything.
@iamthejeeves i hope this gets people so upset about the contamination and toxic bullshit everywhere that they riot and demand the heads of food company ceos and the fda to be put on sticks
Let me tell you my own experiences. Like two years ago I started to look into the products I purchased for eating what they included in. Then I started to exclude some ingredients I do not want to consume, some to mention: starch, vegetable oils, preservatives, sugar or other sweeteners, and such. I can tell you that any prefabricated food does not qualify, but I accepted few with the less damaging ingredients and bought mainly raw meet instead. The end result after the two years? I lost 12 kg (26.5 pounds) of weight, without any other activity like exercising. Now, tell me what was the garbage you want to consume, no matter of what, because he is presenting the wrong party. And yes, I give 0 fucks of Americans, or their politics, as European. If you are not able to see the message because of the messenger, then you are doomed to fail.
@jeffcliff@iamthejeeves Your comment was the reason I DID watch the video and realized that you are targeting the person, not the message, so Ad Hominem attack. The points he mentions are correct. I give 0 fucks what he might politically present, I give full credibility for his message to take down the junk food.
When you leftoids realize that attacking the person, rather than the message, have zero value, then you might have some progress. But I guess, you do not figure it out, like ever, so you are in constant loop of loosing the argument.
I listened for the first minute. He purposefully ignores the actual causes of the problems he mentioned. His message is *garbage* and you are garbage for falling for it
RFKJr is not just some person. He has a multi-decade track record of being consistently wrong about health issues like this. *and he remains wrong*. The problem is people who get their information from videos like this, which are carefully crafted to mislead you.
@Escoffier@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves > but imma argue sugar is worse As much as sugar damages the vascular system it doesn't directly damages brain development like seed oil does, seed oil is arguably as bad as leaded gas because the damages are two to three times longer to be seen.
@mangeurdenuage@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves I don't dispute the damages and dangers of seed oils however basically all of the "modern" diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart attack, cancer, pcos, dental caries, etc etc, can be laid at the feet of sugar.
@JoshuaSlocum@BattleDwarfGimli@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves@mangeurdenuage An easy test to see if a civilization was eating more processed carbs than the human body can handle is do we find metabolic diseases among them? For example we do find them among the ancient Egyptians. Both mild obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart attacks were common especially among the upper crust.
@Escoffier@BattleDwarfGimli@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves@mangeurdenuage carbs are somewhat different than sugar, but yes that said, carbs, i.e. grain, i.e. agriculture, is what built civilization, or at least one of its mightiest pillars (whether civilization was a good idea or not is a fun but completely different argument) of course, now that we have civilization--maths, sciences, buildings that don't fall over on really windy days, Tamagotchis, etc.--we can kill off the excess population and go back to a largely carnivore diet i volunteer Africa
Honey would have been an integral part of their diet - this is well recorded. But other sugars, especially the processed cane that is prevalent today, would have been completely unknown.
@BattleDwarfGimli@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves@mangeurdenuage Can you give me an example of that? This is a subject ive studied intensively and i'm not aware of that. After White men were on the American continent some of the tribes were making maple syrup but it was a new thing.
I'm not disputing there was honey or that they ate it but if its in nature there is a hard limit how much they could be eating.
@Escoffier@BattleDwarfGimli@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves@mangeurdenuage not honey, but date palms have been cultivated for so long we don't know where they come from, possibly as far back as 6000 BC beekeeping is at least 4500 years old, but going winnie the pooh on a hive is certainly older (props to the first dude who said to himself "those flying pain engines must be hiding something boss" and waded in) the human love for sugar is well baked-in, we just use way too much of it now
