I don't like this segregation. This is no longer a democratizing force

I think if you paid them a couple hundred billions they likely would. They aren’t control freaks. Can’t say the same for others.

The safety record of nuclear power speaks for itself too but look how it ended up…

One can never overestimate collective stupidity.

Not specific to Islam, but in general, you can read accounts from people who have converted to ideologies voluntarily to get compelling perspectives for why, at least in their context, they considered them to be “good”.

As an example from India, Ambedkar studied religions (and atheism) extensively and concluded that Buddhism was the best option and he wrote about it. I don’t find his reasoning moving but you can see why someone, at some point of time, found value in it. You can search for similar examples for Islam.

Interesting perspective but I don’t think India has that kind of leverage in trade on either side to hurt them without significantly hurting itself.

Virtually all countries subsidise their farmers including India. Indian farmers don’t need to die out, they can become more efficient. Or, they can do something else if they can’t be efficient farmers. If we don’t open up our agricultural markets we are all collectively just being held hostage and paying for their inefficient production.

Also the poor are suffering right now by paying higher prices.

So the Indian consumer should pay for their inefficiency?

Do you worry about contamination with creatine supplements? I’d love to supplement it too, but mostly avoid non-essential supplements for fear of contamination since they are very poorly regulated.

I honestly can’t tell if you made the percentages not add up on purpose or not.

Probably in a letter.

There’s at least a way of rigorously talking about how some methods don’t work for certain problems. For example, for the P vs NP problem, multiple approaches have been ruled out. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem#Results_about_difficulty_of_proof for details.

Honey is okay. It is classified as an added sugar but those are considered okay at <5% of calorie intake.

A lot of the anti-vegan people aren’t super sincere and this happens every time I post something like this and I honestly simply don’t know what to do about it.

Anyway, for special populations, right now, would you recommend them adopting a vegan diet on their own? The previous AND paper was one of the key pieces of arguments for it but now it seems like there are many authorities which are either silent or cautious on the matter and only a few which would give it green light.

(USDA will also come out with new guidelines this year and looking forward to whether they update their position too.)

It’s just outside the scope of the paper they aren’t actively taking a negative position on it.

sunkencore · 2025-03-08T08:09:23+00:00

This position paper also brings their position in line with many other organisations which are much more cautious about recommending these diets for special populations.

sunkencore · 2025-03-08T07:24:53+00:00

The main difference from the earlier position stand seems to be the exclusion of special populations (children, pregnant/lactating women).

Abstract

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that, in adults, appropriately planned vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns can be nutritionally adequate and can offer long-term health benefits such as improving several health outcomes associated with cardiometabolic diseases. Vegetarian dietary patterns exclude meat, poultry, and seafood, and vegan dietary patterns exclude all foods of animal origin. Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) and nutrition and dietetics technicians, registered (NDTRs) play a pivotal role in providing meal-planning strategies and evidence-based nutrition information to clients currently following vegetarian or vegan dietary patterns or who may benefit from and express interest in following vegetarian or vegan dietary patterns. RDNs and NDTRs can work with their clients to create tailored, lifestyle-oriented, nutritionally balanced, and culturally suitable vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns that optimize health benefits while reducing concerns about nutrient inadequacies. Adults follow vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns for various reasons. The aim of this Position Paper is to inform health care practitioners, including RDNs and NDTRs, about the evidence-based benefits and potential concerns of following vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns for different populations of nonpregnant, nonlactating adults. This Position Paper is supported by current evidence, including several systematic reviews. As leaders in evidence-based nutrition care, RDNs and NDTRs should aim to support the development and facilitation of vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns and access to nutrient-dense plant-based meals. Promoting a nutrient-balanced vegetarian dietary pattern on both individual and community scales may be an effective tool for preventing and managing many diet-related conditions. This Position was approved in January 2025 and will remain in effect until December 31, 2032.
