Comment on Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal

  Losing weight too fast can destroy your organs, so this is a very stupid take.

    Lemmy logic on full display again. A user merely mentions that almost half the world’s population is overweight and could stand to lose some weight - and the response is “stupid take, losing weight too fast can destroy your organs.”

    And people are actually upvoting that. Great. Just great. Good job, guys.

    Slowly eating fewer calories isn’t going to cause this. Quit overreacting

    It’s a fine take. You just dislike AI and you need dopamine from online arguing.

    seems the original commentor is downvoting us multiple times, with different ACCTS.

    It seems you’re confusing starvation being bad with dieting being good.

  its actually biologically dangerous to lose a lot of weight at once if you way hundreds of lbs over your limit. its the same for pet dogs and cats.

  I’ve been thinking about this lately in regards to how shitty food is getting, with shrinkflation a lot of stuff now has smaller portions sizes but the calorie count usually remains the same, presumably due to adding more sugar to mask the taste of replacing ingrediants with cheaper alternatives, fresh produce isn’t spared either as most meat and vegetables turn a lot sooner and are sometimes already beginning to turn the same day you buy them. The result is a decreasing ability to have more than a day or twos worth of fresh ingrediants on hand and frozen food (or worse) just getting simultaniously less health and less filling.

  If that 60% of people who aren’t weren’t occupied with working hard not to starve they might take offense to your use of “we” (Satire)

    Food isn’t expensive - high quality food is. Junk is cheap which is why obesity is especially issue with low-income families. Nobody is starving.

      I don’t know where you live, but where I live junk is stupid fucking expensive compared to veggies, and an increasing number of people are still overweight. A single 300-350g frozen pizza will set you back at least 6EUR, I can easily buy fresh veggies for a meal to feed a family of 4 people for 12EUR, that takes 30min to prepare, less if you try to save money. I simply don’t buy in to the whole cost premise being the reason.

        Time and energy to prep meals is also a cost. I don’t know how it is in Europe, but in North America, the poor-but-employed segment of the population is often working multiple minimum wage jobs to stay afloat. Even if they know how to cook and have the tools to do so, they may be too tired when they get home to do more than pop a pizza in the oven.

        3 euros worth of vegetables almost definitely doesn’t have the same calorie content than 3 euros worth of any junk food. This is true independent of where you live in the western world.

      I am not talking about people who have easy acces to processed foods.

      I don’t have exact stats nor know how big% of the world that is but people going to bed hungry and being underweight is absolutely still happening.

    Maybe they should eat the other 40%. ;)
