    I mean he’s not wrong to criticise the super simple calories in calories out, or even how food calories are determined, but like nobody thinks that model is true except reply guys on reddit.

    Our understanding of food has moved on, you don’t have to be such a dork about saying “hey if you think this maybe read some more recent literature”.

      fuck me I’m getting flashbacks to the worst posts I’ve seen on the internet, all thanks to Reddit’s weird hangups: calorie reply guys, the fucking pitbull thing, vegans who read like fictional vegans made up by people who hate vegans, all the folks trying to convince you you’re abusing your pets

        I still can’t bring myself to believe that straw vegans exist. I know they *do*, but they don’t resemble any real vegans I’ve ever met, so in my mind the straw vegans *must* be fictional vegans made up by people who hate vegans.

        All vegans are awesome. Even annoying ones. It’s wild how much flak people throw out. Like I wouldn’t criticise an annoying peace activist in front of war hawks because no matter what they’re doing they’re way less disturbing than the war hawks.
