These people are completely delusional. I've never even heard of anyone ever like this. How do you rid plants out of your diet? How are fruits and vegetables a problem? How is just eating beef going to be healthy. Thats like declaring war on fruit and deciding to only eat celery.
What
NOT THE FUCKING SUN
THE FLAMING ORB OF DEATH SHOOTING RADIATION LASERS?
Diet discourse is fuckin weird and very online. Most of it is always some cash grab or cult. I think I'm going to just stick to curbing fast food intake and doing outdoorsy things. Worked pretty well so far.
I just can't get over this though, this is just stupid. Its pure ideology and "veggies gay" patriarchy shit. Although, i've been in quite a lot of spaces, these people seem to be a small portion of those already off the deep end. I have never come into contact with anyone like this, even when I lived in MAGA land. Luckily this means its easy to dismiss. These people don't exist offline, so getting mad about them is nonsensical. Worrying over these people is not worth anyone's time.
They seem to be just god-tier rage bait. No one outside of twitter even talks like this.
although as you've said, olive oil shit has been appropriated to every diet, how the heck is olive oil discourse about purely Natsoc dietiers? It seems like just getting mad at something for no reason. The 'struggle session' seems like people just having dumb ideas about food ingredients, a tale as old as time.
Also we got a lovely effortpost out of this about the subject, it was fun to read.
yeah it's all an extremely terminally online thing. Definitely had it's moment though, as I say Jordan Peterson and as a result that whole manosphere/incel/far-right conspiracy media sphere, Rogan and all those guys, were pushing this stuff for a while. Not sure if they're all still going on harping on it.
They all blame the "vegetable industry" for pushing carbs and vegetarian diets, which, what? Absolutely baby brained. Of course the meat and dairy industries are just innocent smol bean victims of the evil Marxist vegetable industrial complex who would never astroturf message boards with things like "vegetable oils are killing you eat more butter," or "grains make your brain smaller eat more beef."
Anyway unless the hexbear gaming discord is for some reason really interested in the science of vegetable oils and different smoke points, it's almost definitely a struggle session over whether "seed oils" are bad for you or not. Which...they're not.
I think it’s absolutely the HGD being really interested in the science of vegetable oils and different smoke points
Seed oil discourse seems downstream of and invented to support the broader culture war issues such as climate change taking our burgers and vegetables (soy) force feminizing everyone. Chuds marinade the contradiction between their white collar urban treat based lifestyle and their Rvme inspired self image of manly patricians living off the land and it makes them mad. They're too "fact based" and "objective" to just say that they think veggies make their peepees soft, so they invent/create a market for bullshit like brussel sprouts causing sunburns.
All of this instead of recognizing what's actually happening with agribusiness and food - seed oils aren't inherently bad, but they're cheap so the ultraprocessed garbage food that is all too common in the US is chock full of them.
But the concept of "frying broccoli in seed oil = healthy, li'l Debbie's cake rolls = unhealthy" doesn't appeal to these idiots because it doesn't also tie into their settler idea of what being a man is.
The irony of course is that the best way to get the hardest, wettest, best tasting genitals is to just eat some fucking plants.
