In reply to the discussion: Saturated fat causes heart disease, eh? I wonder who told us that? [View all]Orrex
(63,203 posts)64. Ah, yes. The false dichotomy. Classic!
We can't be sure which nutritious diet, one or two, is better for this group of poor people so the right thing to do is not do this scientific study. Better to just not do it and let them starve.
Well that's idiotic, and it's clearly not my assertion.
You're pretending that we have no concept of nutrition or healthy diet, which is bullshit. On top of that, you're imagining that the only choice is between feeding your bullshit to poor people and starving them altogether.
In point of fact, we do have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a healthy and nutritious diet, and we should make that available to the people who require government assistance. Despite your nightmarish suggestion, we certainly should not use their poverty to justify some sort of bullshit experiment on them.
What you propose is, as correctly noted above, both unethical and dishonest.
Assuming that you're not simply a troll, the fact that you maintain your support of your grotesque proposition reveals quite a bit about you.

OP
IMO the key is to consume a variety of high-quality fats, with an emphasis on saturated fats.

Tilting at straw dogs, Frodo? You've left out half of what science actually does.

It is an excellent example of the powerful using the weak as "disposable" people

It's easier than you think. I've been maintaining my weight with a keto diet for a couple of years

Yes, my doctor said that about the cravings going away when you eliminate sugar.

I wish many items were made with it that aren't! I like the taste, and don't notice anything n/t

I spent a couple of months on a ketogenic diet recently. I'm hoping to resume it.
