Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Actual studies have been done on this. You're not only wrong but you're scientifically wrong.
https://clinicalcenter.nih.gov/about/news/newsletter/2019/summer/story-01.html#:~:text=This%20is%20the%20first%20study%20that%20shows%20causality%3A%20ultra%2Dprocessed,and%20they%20eat%20fewer%20calories.
Eating ultra processed foods are not only unhealthy, they also cause you to eat more than you would if you were eating exactly the same thing with real food.
An argument you'll note that is not only consistent with my guest comment, but actually argues for people doing more work than they're likely doing to lose weight.
Literally every point you made was incorrect.
The study also lasted 2 weeks and had less than 40 people in it. This is a bullshit study, we know people are going to eat ultra processed foods because it tastes good. Hell I'm guilty of it even, I will eat an entire pizza on my own if I don't stop myself. This study should say, people lack will power to not eat free fast food... it's a complete nothing burger of a study.
Ah yes, the age old, "I know better than an actual scientist because their science disagrees with my feelings"
No the age old, one study with no peer review and less than 50 people who were told to eat whatever they want is not an good study. It's a joke.
Buddy either you have hard data to back your claim or you don't. You're saying that diet has less impact on weight than exercise and that's literally false. It's the most wrong thing you could say and still sound like you're speaking English.
Where the fuck did I say that? I've literally said multiple times in this post that CICO is not rocket science. The fuck are you talking about? Go back and read what I've stated. No where did I say diet isn't more effective. I've literally states the opposite, people eat to much. Period. Even your own study shows that... people enjoy eating big macs more than healthy food....aka water is wet.
