    my boss does a “cleanse” once a month. IDK what she takes but she also believes ivermectin cures cancer, sooooo…
    Its no coincidence that she is one of the sickest “healthy” people ive met. She has no health conditions or chronic illnesses. Shes in good physical shape and doesn’t smoke or drink. Exercises most days, etc. Yet, she “cant get out of bed” or has some mystery stomach flu or something like that about once a month. Funny how that seems to line up just after her cleanses. I suggested once that she was making it worse with the cleanses but she just doubled down.
    Willfully ignorant and proud.

      Firehouse in the USA: “right leaning straight white guys that watch FOX news” is over represented. We work 24 hour shifts and thus cook two meals a day at the station. Inevitably that means I get to experience whatever dumb-ass dietary advice the manosphere/RFK Jr. is pushing: keto, carnivore, MORE PROTEIN, etc.

      They get hilariously defensive when I tell them “I don’t do fad diets”.

        …I don’t think I’ve ever met a man in real life that ate a fad diet. They eat hamburger helper and take out.
