    The funny thing, the truly funny thing, Is that many people reading this will assume their assumptions about nutrition are fact based and everybody else’s is pseudoscience. Examining the data on your own biases is critical for any standing in science.

      what’s a common assumption about nutrition that’s not true?

        Its less commonly assumed now, but “eating fatty foods makes you fat” is really not true. The “fat free” food craze of the 90s-mid 00s took the fat out of everything and added sugar to make it taste good again. And everyone got fatter. Exactly as the sugar industry planned.

        That you need fibre; that you need carbohydrates

        Neither are true, both will be told to you by doctors

          Huh?

          Higher dietary fiber intake is associated with lower risk of multiple chronic diseases, particularly CVD mortality, pancreatic cancer, and diverticular disease. Despite these benefits, intake remains below recommended levels worldwide. Public health strategies should promote fiber-rich diets, and future research should further elucidate the role of specific fiber types in disease prevention.

If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
