@DT2024 @greyvelvet97 @michaelmalice @seanmdav No offense intended. Military history and hardware is a complicated subject.

@TonyPiassa @ScepticalDoctor I think eating animal products is inefficient, polluting and archaic. Very soon (~200yrs), faux animal products will replace the real deal. Jesus lived in an era without calorie excess. They ate what was available and shouldn’t be criticized for their diet choices.

@BenRothenberg So; if Djokovic is granted entry and wins the tournament, is he still selfish or simply fortunate if he waited until the government ok’d entry? He could win prize money >$2mil. He should offer the $21K to Tiffon if he accepts entry. Seems like a simple solution?

@WalshFreedom For the same amount of time I’ve been hopeful that more Republicans would join your chorus. I’ll keep doing so in hopes of saving the republic. They’ve gone bats**t crazy. Trump supporters are following the other lemmings over a cliff.

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@WalshFreedom It’s amazing how well Trump has mastered narcissism. He begins setting up his blame game as soon as clouds form on the horizon. Trump’s ability, with his advisers, to convince so many intelligent people of obvious lies is unsurpassed since Goebbels and Hitler joined hands.

@ScepticalDoctor Food is a living requirement that forces a choice between options. Other non-food choices are normally unforced and between two options.

@andypaughrules1 @billmaher The battle is between whole plant food (good) and all processed food, including animal products (bad). Think beans versus biscuits. Mixed veggies versus doughnuts. That’s where the obesity war is won or lost.

@undisputed @ShannonSharpe Agree Rice has to be greatest non-QB ever. Not too many QBs can make an argument they’re ahead of Rice on the GOAT list.

@dumptruck550 @stanley81917416 @DefenceHQ Not to mention Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe post-WWII…

@ScepticalDoctor @nutrition_facts I agree with your observations, but I’m not still convinced his overall findings that the beef and dairy industries were manipulating the study data for their obvious benefit. Looking forward to your analysis of his current series.

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@greenlandsharky @ScepticalDoctor @nutrition_facts It’s a great video. A perfect example of anecdotal evidence. My guess is the cigars and dairy are offset by an incredible set of genes along with overall low calorie intake and healthy lifestyle. He also emphasized “soup” was a major source of calories…”mmm good!”😋

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@nucleifitness @ScepticalDoctor I agree. Seed oils are a seductive part of the SAD that increases empty calories and reduces consumption of nutrients.

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@ScepticalDoctor I agree seed oils are not necessarily unhealthy as foods. The problem is that ultra-processed junk food often contains high percentages of seed oil. The seed oils are often crucial to improving taste and and enabling the industrial manufacturing of ultra-processed junk food.

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@RanoCeros @ScepticalDoctor Addictive refined sugars and oils for starters. It’s also the elimination in the refining process of fiber and related highly nutritional portions of plants. Animal foods are already highly refined by the animal, so contain no fiber or plants nutrients.

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@Alan_Watson_ @RogueScientist8 @ScepticalDoctor It’s a universal truth that changing diets is difficult. The addictive SAD, with its highly processed foods, makes changes even more difficult.

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@Alan_Watson_ @RogueScientist8 @ScepticalDoctor This has been my observation, as well. I’ve never seen a criticism that purports that Esselstyn’s diet increases heart disease or is detrimental to health. At the very least, it stabilizes artery plaque and reduces the chance of heart attack.

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@Alan_Watson_ @RogueScientist8 @ScepticalDoctor Exactly. The reversal of heart disease may be controversial and questionable. Regardless, I think it’s virtually impossible to develop heart disease on Esselstyn’s diet. His diet would save millions of lives globally, reduce environmental damage and eliminate animal harm.

[James McNeill @Saintsman3]

@ScepticalDoctor I think your criticism of WFPB advocates important. No one gets a free ride to advocate without evidence. At the same time, everyone should be aware that WFPB, in almost any form advocated, will vastly improve nutritional quality versus the SAD. That’s why I read your posts.

@kathlee73732050 @WalshFreedom You’ve got to be brain dead to actually believe Trump won the election. The GOP is now a party of the dishonest and mentally disabled. She is one of the mentally disabled.
