If men had uteruses they'd be called duderuses.
I quit following the wife of a childhood friend because I was sick of her posts about the diet-fad/pyramid scheme Plexus Slim. So I went back to her page to see how much she was posting about Plexus now and if she had mercifully stopped. She hasn't. In fact, it's now all she posts about. Every single post is about Plexus. Before it was bad, now it's extreme.



Here we go about the toxins. Again.



She's now inflicting this obsession onto strangers.



She and her husband were tagged in a photo. They're still both overweight. To be fair, she has managed to lose at least one chin. So go Plexus! Why not try some? What is the worst that can happen? If you're not satisfied, you get your money back!

I once asked the childhood friend if this was a pyramid scheme. Of course he said that it wasn't.

I blocked out the name but it was set up at an actual elementary school. I'm not sure what the occasion was.

When people use the expression 'toxins' I usually stop listening, unless they're a chemist or in the natural sciences. It's become, ultimately, a tool to sell poo poo to people who are worried that their bodies are tainted by some unknown force, which, in the middle ages, we would have chalked up to demons or malevolent spirits.

There's just so much going on in that. Also, that's not a joke post that is 100% real.

Okay this is what I discern according to them : President Obama was grooming Mitt Romney to be his replacement when he left office because Mitt Romney would support the Transpacific Partnership, then because of this our wages would become lower. We would then export our entire production capabilities to China, Afterwards because of the North America Coalition? ( never hear of this) we would be incapable of something something, China would rule the US.

JOURNALISTS OF AUSTRALIA - IS THIS A STORY WORTH REPORTING? - Be careful though as it is the TRUTH!
Yes the (DAA) Dietitans Association of Australia, come out swinging saying that if you eat "The Paleo Way" it is dangerous..bahahaha (all of those delicious abundant vegetables, small to moderate amounts of well sourced seafood/meat, and healthy dietary fats and fermented veg and broths!)
However, they have absolutely no issue whatsoever to partner with NESTLE and educate our CHILDREN in shopping centres that MILO and MAGGI SAUCES are healthy choices and we should be using margarine and eating 6 serves of nutrient devoid and gut disrupting grains per day!
Surely someone high up the ranks would have thought "hmmmm, maybe this isn't the wisest choice for us as an organisation to be partnering with....but tell me again, how much are they paying us for this alignment?"
My question is, do the public take this organisation seriously anymore or are they becoming the laughing stock of the health industry? Oops i meant "wellness" industry as we need to choose WELLNESS! Is this a major conflict of interest?
Have a read of Grace's post below, it is shocking...
Grace Miano - Goodness Gracious Health
https://www.facebook.com/GoodnessGraciousHealth/
This information was share shared with me by a fellow Nutritional Medicine Practitioner:
"Many of you may have noticed a recent advertising campaign by Nestle using the slogan: 'Nestle: Choose Wellness. Good Food, Good Life.' You also may have noted that they are
using green and white as the main colours of this marketing campaign to give people the feeling that their products are 'healthy' and 'clean'.
This campaign has saturated most commercial TV and Foxtel channels. It could be a desperate bid to gain customers back, as many consumers are educating themselves and realising just how unhealthy these products are. whatever the reason, they are spending vast amounts of money to achieve it; as their campaign hasn't stopped at television: https://www.facebook.com/NestleAuNZ/
https://www.nestlechoosewellness.com.au/
https://www.milo.com.au/milo-champions
Yesterday at the Garden City Westfield Shopping Center Nestle held an event. They had hired dietitians to talk to the public about 'health' under their slogan and brand. They had ample marketing aimed at children with a rock climbing wall in the center, give aways of milo popper drinks loaded with 17.9g of sugar in one tiny serve of 200ml (calling it a health drink) and a cooking show for kids using Maggi flavouring sachets (containing sugar and vegetable oils). The dietitians there gave away bags of nestle marketing and plastic plates with eating guidelines on them for kids; some pamphlets with nestle products state 'brought to you by the Australian Healthy Food Guide.' a magazine co-created with dietitians.
This pamphlet is an infographic that came in bags being handed out to parents and children which promotes the idea that milo makes every glass of milk healthier! http://www.nestle.com.au/%85/milo%20infographic%20lifting%20l%85
They have carefully manipulated information to make milo appear healthier than it is. Especially look at their section on Milo's sugar content.
More of the 'Nestle Choose Wellness' events will be happening around Australia."
I am so disappointed in the health professionals that chose to be a part of this. I urge you to be very critical of anything you see presented to you as healthy or unhealthy, even by me. Educate yourself so that you can cut through the marketing BS. Question everything.

Like, I don't really disagree with him but maybe a dietitian might be a tad more qualified than a chef. There's an amazing amount of people saying "omg I'm a nutritionist and this is sooooooo right" in the comments as well.

I haven't been around Imgur since I noticed them getting freakishly racist- yet still less so that Funnyjunk- so I just use it to rehost images and move on. I forget, was imgur the one obssessed with Bohemian Rhapsody or was that Tumblr?

Well here's the thing though, Killer Mike and Common are fantastic rappers, and Immortal Technique is roughly equivalent to an embarrassing first year philosophy student. I can gently caress with conscientious hip-hop, but at least pick a good rapper
