  • Dunning Kruger.

    Your body is so much more complicated than a function that takes calories as input and outputs an expected result. You need more than just calories, you need nutrients. A nutrient deficient person does not burn calories the same way a person with a balanced diet does.

    Like just think for a second. Is the only variable of food that matters is calories, then why do you need vitamins? Why do we split calories into categories like protein, carbs, veggies, fruits, etc? Why can you get a PhD in nutrition if it’s only as simple as calories in calories out?

    The simple answer is it’s not simple. Asserting that it is when it isn’t creates some terrible narratives around exercise, diet, and body image.



  • CNN is owned by Warner Discovery, which is owned by private equity. They don’t just lick the boot, they are the boot. All major media corporations in America are owned by the corporate elite.

    Larry Ellison is trying to buy TikTok and his son runs CBS. Elon owns X. Zuck owns Threads, Facebook, Instagram, and what’s app. Murdoch owns fox, but also News Corp, which runs The Wall Street Journal, The Times (of London), The Sun, The Australian, Herald Sun, The Daily Telegrap, and the New York Post. He also owns Tubi. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Allmost all of the mainstream ways of getting news are owned by billionaires.
