hits the nail on the head. especially the part about taking ingredients out of context i.e. vinegar/acetic acid, i see this more than anything.

personally i've never heard of the girl the article is aimed at, but the entire thing points out a lot of big flaws in a LOT of people who write about food and nutrition.

i think everybody who's inclined to take good care of themselves can agree... you gotta choose your battles.

in all reality, it's just a person taking advantage of gullible people who will do things they see others doing on social media.

it's just like all the totally unnecessary supplements that're out there you absolutely do not need. but beginners will buy them because they see a dude hawking them.

the difference with this article and supplements going "viral" is that not as many people lift and take it seriously as people take facebook seriously, and see every fucking person on their list posting pictures of their #noGMO #organic #TBT #swaglyfe #nigtits breakfast/lunch/dinner with #skinnymetea #teatox #detoxjuice #juicingYourVegetablesAndFruitsReleasesMoreNutrientsButThisIsNotBasedOnFactButI'llHashTagItAnywayCuzAFitGirlIFollowWhoHas1millionFollowersDidIt:^)

lol yep. women

most girls in my area are doing a paleolithic diet. fucking lul worthy. I posted this on facebook and said "I implore you to read this if you participate in fad diets, juice cleanses, detoxes, and whatever else is "trending," lol." One of those girls liked it. So naive, she doesn't even realize she's a moron.

We do it for the +1, facebookers do it for the like.

i'll give props and credit to anybody trying to do better for themselves and live healthier... but ignoring the advice or implications of those who have been there/done that, and not doing your homework, no excuse!
