Firehouse in the USA: "right leaning straight white guys that watch FOX news" is over represented. We work 24 hour shifts and thus cook two meals a day at the station. Inevitably that means I get to experience whatever dumb-ass dietary advice the manosphere/RFK Jr. is pushing: keto, carnivore, MORE PROTEIN, etc.

They get hilariously defensive when I tell them "I don't do fad diets".

...I don't think I've ever met a man in real life that ate a fad diet. They eat hamburger helper and take out.

Clearly you need to spend more time around Joe Rogan watching dude-bros. There's also several of them on supplemental testosterone: "The doctor will tell you that your level is normal but they've been secretly lowering the 'normal level' over the past several decades. If you want I can give you my doctor's information."

My theory is reincarnation is real and I was a horrible person in my previous life.

Testosterone administration is more illegal pharmaceutical use then it is a fad diet. It's also not particularly dangerous. The safety profile is similar to hormonal birth control.
