Where was this article when I was a kid? Freaking leafy greens were the bane of my existence.

It often seems to me that about 90% of how I was taught to understand food when I was younger is completely wrong. Not just misguided, but actively harmful and stupid. It's amazing.

What I don't understand is why it happens? Surely people can make just as much money by selling beef as they can by selling lettuce? Or is there something about cheaper products (ie they are often higher margin?) that produces this trend towards ass-backward health info?

It could also be that the analysis presented here is ass-backwards.

That would fit the tendency of trendy health information being goofy.

I say we make @realBitcoinDog eat a bunch of lettuce and see how long it takes to get explosive diarrhea.

I’ll take the over of whatever line we set.

Ok, I guess we can bet on how many times you get explosive diarrhea

The best first approximation has always been that everyone is wrong about everything.

I literally have a folder with an unfinished book manuscript using that title

Sounds like a Jane Austen / Charles Dicken opening line.
