LOL I once knew a fitness nut (went to the gym every day, only ate vegan, etc. etc.) who smoked 2 packs a day of cigarettes.

When gluten-free-as-a-fad-diet was big; I encountered people who would say things like "I am gluten-free except for pizza".

Then I would have to explain to them that that is not how it works for those of us with celiac.

The reason behind seems to be the rule of law and guilt instead of rule of love. An appeal to all creative people of the world made in 1988 is worth reading now.

this is the very thing that has baffled me about these groups. They're obsessed with stuff in the air, or microplastics, but also often support groups who have very clearly loosened regulations allowing more microplastics in food.

I know the answer is that education is underfunded, and they just haven't learned critical thinking, but I don't like that answer. All their talk about research, it's very unsatisfying how little it actually matters to them.

oh this definitely reminds me of a bunch of YouTube advertisements... like almost every frame on the comic is ironically enough a reference to a hypocritical ad aimed at suckers.

I get particularly annoyed about ones that reference "Dr Steven Gundry" because it's all anti-science marketing BS.... and don't get me started on the products Chuck Norris is selling....

That being said there are probably tiny fragments of truth in a lot of these that end up getting distorted...

I have PTSD and really bad anxiety that can get debilitating at times. And some guy told me I was filling the pockets of big pharma and maybe my anxiety meds were causing...anxiety. Nope. That's Alpha Boar Plus you're thinking of.

people have difficulty wrapping their heads around the concept of externalities.. particularly people on the right.

their behaviour is rational in a way; these types of people treat health as a competition. If the average gets worse, that makes them look better.

>I lift but hate seat belts
Where's the contradiction?
Seat belts are enforced by law, unlike lifting.
That's what they are against, not seatbelts per se.
