Eeeeeh, there is some evidence that SOME cases of chronic disease and behavioural disorders might be ameliorated by changes in diet

It's not a panacea or a case of BREAD CAUSES AUTISM as much as there are definitely people out there who have a sensitivity to a variety of foods which can cause health problems, and in those sensitive people dietary changes have a positive effect. The problem comes when you extrapolate too far.

Even beyond that, it's a nice thing to do and doing nice things for other people isn't demeaning - unless you're the kind of rear end in a top hat who thinks etiquette and manners are displays of submission. And a lot of people who would criticize something like this honestly do believe etiquette, favors, and manners are weapons one uses to gain social stature and force deference in others.

I love this, and not just because of the "I CURED MY MS WITH VEGANISM :downs:" but because she posits that she cured her MS with veganism, went back to eating meat/cheese/whatever, relapsed back into her MS, and is only just considering restricting her diet again.

Novak Djokovic has a gluten sensitivity and he credits his new diet with a really noticeable boost in his performance. Anecdotally, I have coaliac disease (which is the autoimmune condition) and when I accidentally eat something with gluten I can tell mostly because I get lethargic and dull and I have no energy, and when I was younger I had some anger issues because I was always hungry.

Cutting gluten from your diet can be generally healthy but for people with the actual condition that makes it necessary it can make a massive difference. I don't think it cured Autism though, it's more likely her little boy just has more energy now that he can actually digest what he's eating and isn't as withdrawn (i.e. he never had autism in the first place).

My favorite part is that there are plenty of conservatives in certain countries that say the exact same thing about women exposing their hair, legs and arms in public. Some of them also really like shooting foreign people for being too different. I bet these people would get along!

This is sort of true. Cut out fizzy drinks and sugary condiments and you've just removed a shittonne of calories from your diet. Theres nothing wrong with chowing down on a burger depending on how its prepared and what you eat with it.

No it isn't. The fizzy drink is still there, but in a glass, and the condiments were probably just forgotten about because they're calories you don't really notice. Burger buns are also pretty bad for you, and that's giving them the benefit of the doubt that they're not McDonald's-style sugar buns and processed cheese imitation product burgers.

There's nothing wrong with eating a burger, but it is nothing resembling a balanced meal. You could make it one with some good sides, yes, but that goes for most foods. It is normal to eat unhealthy meals and be aware that you're doing it.

95+% of fat people who claim that they eat perfectly healthy and have a glandular condition just don't understand food. The image is the perfect representation of that.

I also like one Marine's commentary on the situation. Short version: If your President and Commander-in-Chief asks you to hold an umbrella, you hold an umbrella, and if that's the most demeaning thing you have to do, you're a lucky Marine.

Dude's published in the Marine Corps Times, so he's got some street cred if anybody tries to discredit him as "No True Scotsman Marine".

I don't really think the step father is "attacking" anyone. That being said, why a grown rear end man has to involve himself what seems to be essentially a teenage squabble is another matter entirely.

I see it as an attack because they're all ganging up on this girl at once; if you notice by the timestamps this was all within a 20 minute period, if that. Chelsey was also tagging other people, who were coming in to 'like' her comments, as well as her mother liking every comment that she made. To me, that reads as a bunch of adults ganging up on a teenager over a Facebook status. It's up to interpretation, though; either way, they're assholes.

So what does he identify as, seeing how he's speaking as if he's not a human himself. Though I'm sure it's just a cat or something as per his otherkin persona or some bullshit.

Also can we see what references he has re: bottlenecking genetic variation to produce... genetic variation?
