I apologize in advance if meme is insensitive, I keep accidentally implying things that I don't mean whenever I make posts on the internet

If anything, caloric restriction helps you stay alive longer.

Calories are just a unit of energy - what you consume usually matters more than how many calories you consume

Yeah but that's not the point of the comment you're replying to, which is stating a simple fact that is unchanged despite your argument.

there's a difference between "restricting calories" and "eating so little that you lack almost all the macro/micronutrients necessary for a properly functioning body"

one can have a calorie restrictive diet and still be eating junk food too
