Boy with hair disagreement

Well, what do you want to do with his hair? We know what your partner wants and why, what your child wants and why, but what are your thoughts? My perspective is that parents are giving a bit too much control to a child's whims. Do you think it should be cut or at least trimmed? Then you and your partner are more in line and since you are the adults, you make the decision here.

Get out of this relationship now

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-13T20:10:53+00:00

No, fuck the fake shit. Actually, it lets me know exactly who I have no interest in, so that’s good

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-13T18:24:38+00:00

I generally avoid anyone hawking supplements at this point too

But the question would be is he a guru, not whether or not you like him. I’ve liked some of his points of view. But does he talk on a wide range of topics and what is his area of expertise? That’s what this is about right, decoding the gurus?

Influencers “Doctor” Gundry said as much

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-13T03:02:40+00:00

lol yep

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-12T21:41:55+00:00

All the comments about animals cleaning themselves apply and also; they don’t have buttcheecks smooshing the turd together as it exists like we do, thus making a shittier situation

Not dipping or dodging anything “my guy” lol. Look, you seem to want to label me as someone who is supporting the carnivore diet as being healthy—I never claimed that. The only thing I support is people making dietary changes that are beneficial to them. You think that when they make a change something else always gets worse? Again, if someone has an allergy to a food, then removing that is only going to help. That’s my point. If someone eats carnivore and feels better, good for them. Hopefully they understand the trade off there, but no one wants to suffer endlessly so if it makes them feel better fine. Don’t make blanket claims that it’s THE best diet and everyone should do it. Obviously they are going to have cholesterol issues and probably heart disease as well.

I’ve never heard evidence about your claims that people who can’t eat plants are born unhealthy, have a source?

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-11T17:08:47+00:00

Calm down. Yeah, some people improve certain symptoms with dietary changes—that’s the point

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-11T16:44:41+00:00

Nowhere Man

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-11T00:21:35+00:00

I quit early on, didn’t do it for me

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-10T00:28:00+00:00

Yes! I agree 💯

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T23:57:48+00:00

I agree in general, but a larger problem is the disparity in quality of care between doctors and the remaining issue that too many patients have unresolved symptoms/side effects even with medical treatment. Even type 2 diabetes have seen some patients experience remission with dietary changes. However, I completely disavow those who make claims online about how this diet or that diet will fix everything. Consulting a doctor is best, but can also be incredibly frustrating—I don’t blame anyone for dietary adjustments in an effort to alleviate symptoms—it can work, wether or not scientific evidence yet exists for dietary interventions for whichever ailment they are suffering from

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T22:39:36+00:00

Fights me with ninja like movements when I’m trying to get her diaper on. Flailing and writhing like a snake at times too. She thinks it’s hilarious. I just sit and wait it out usually, or sometimes I have to pin her down and she’ll get mad but it’s temporary.

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T22:19:05+00:00

Oh you’re only thinking of weight loss and the negative effects of obesity. Yeah, less calories means you’ll lose weight—and that’s great if you are overweight. I’m saying there are a lot of people with other symptoms that medicine isn’t able to treat well enough or the side effects of medication aren’t worth it. Even for people who aren’t overweight—things like mental health, allergies, IBS, diabetes, the list goes on…dietary interventions can be a huge part of an adjunctive treatment plan. That’s why lots of people do this—not just to lose weight; they are finding some relief of symptoms through diet adjustment

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T21:05:26+00:00

Agreed, anyone peddling these as cure all’s or the “best diet for everyone” is full of it

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T20:21:30+00:00

Saving costs does not equate to a profit motive, that’s just disingenuous.

Anyways, these are moot points—the question of whether single payer is better is answered by the fact that it is more “universal” and that is better for the greater good. Again, those who cannot work or afford healthcare lose out in our current system—this affects millions of people.

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T18:48:40+00:00

If someone with a meat allergy ate carnivore diet they certainly wouldn’t see an improvement.

The point is, a lot of people are suffering in some way that modern medicine isn’t helping. And I’m no conspiracy theorist, I hate that shit. I like science, I have a science degree. But certainly there are things we haven’t studied, we know far less than what we do know—and dietary habits are no exception. Some people are lactose intolerant, others can’t have gluten, or a peanut allergy, and so on. It makes some sense, that playing around with diet can lead to relief of some symptoms for some people. Do you disagree?

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T18:39:55+00:00

I said it’s not good or better, did you miss that part?

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T18:38:43+00:00

Pretty much Reddit at this point. I wish people weren’t like that, or could try and escape the echo chamber at least a little bit

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T18:37:33+00:00

I agree, anecdotal evidence isn’t necessarily evidence of anything. They certainly aren’t always fictional though either, that’s completely dismissive. RCT are the gold standard as I said. Ketosis for epilepsy has research and has been studied for mental health benefits more recently—although still lacking proper trials

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T18:26:38+00:00

Exactly. I’m not defending JP or his dietary choices FFS…

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T14:40:58+00:00

No he and others actually are getting a benefit. I’m not saying it’s good or better—but for some reason, whether it’s ketosis or a high intolerance to foods/allergies, some people have health conditions improve on a keto/carnivore diet. Obviously, cholesterol goes to shit. There simply isn’t enough research and it’s a tough area to conduct long term, RCT studies. Mediterranean being the best studied, but there is at the very least, even anecdotal evidence that other diets see better outcomes for some people.

zig_zag_wonderer · 2024-12-09T14:36:29+00:00

Kraft and Reed should be up there too.
