Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Tbf unless you eat pulled pork daily I don't think it'll be a problem.

It's like that old saying ... "Everything in moderation".

I had to cut back on eggs. I have hens out back that I just let free roam but I hadnt been giving them away fast enough. So I hard boiled a couple dozen and was eating them throughout the day just as snacks to keep food costs low. After day twot I realized I needed to slow my intake. Just got to loop more people into my egg ring. Luckily people like free eggs right now.

Come spring I'll just put a thing down by the road so people can grab them when they drive by, but I do worry kids might have a field day with that lol

How many was too many?
I've got birds and while they've slowed laying I'm still eating 3-4 eggs a day and can't say I've noticed any ill effects

He lists all his sources, what is your source for calling him that?

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

he still touts the china study.

Harriet Hall, writing for Science-Based Medicine, said that the book had references that do not support directly the claims made by the authors and that it did not explain the exceptions to his data, such as high rates of stomach cancer in China.

Stephan Guyenet reviewing the book for Red Pen Reviews commented that The China Study is a "scholarly and well-written book" but three of its key scientific claims are "not very well supported overall".

You discredit a webpage that cites all it's scientific sources and call Michael Greger a quak because two people think some aspects of a study he cites are inaccurate?! That's your argument? The study has pissed off the entire food industry, of course there are people who disagree with it. And even these two don't question the basic message: Whole food plant based diet is by far the best diet to heal our bodies and our planet. Is that his bias?
What are you fighting, Commie?

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

cherrypicking data to push an agenda isn't science.

Well, How Not To Die sold a lot of books, but he claims to give ALL book sales to charity and encourages readers to rent his books from libraries and to friends. Before his bestseller, he was on the road for years giving speeches, sleeping in his car. He doesn't sell any supplements, merchandise or snakeoil. This is not your typical behavior to get rich fast, is it?
Yeah he wants to spread a message, and this message is based on science. My public health insurance and even the states society for nutrition (Germany) shares the same recommendations by now, 10 years after How Not To Die was released. To me, he is more like the guy who discovered that leaded gasoline is highly harmful to humans and can't stop talking about it.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't say he is trying to get rich fast

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I made my point. Still not sure about yours. Maybe you're ... trolling?

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm trying to make sure people aren't taken in by cherrypicked data masquerading as science.

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Yeah, no...
You're no fighter for truth and justice here. You parrot Wikipedia, you cherrypick by citing only the two paragraphs from people who (don't even fully) disagree with him, you have obviously not read a single one of his books nor looked into the guys history. You don't reply to anything I said, you just repeat your false claim.
I told a guy who eats 3 eggs a day to not do it, linking a text which is completely backed by science. So please get out of the way, troll, you're slowing progress down.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

calling me names doesn't change the truth

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I'm only interested in the truth

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

given the labyrinthine website you linked it's hard to tell where the referenced papers are.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I'm fighting a people pushing agendas with bad science.
