| My 2 cents: The first guy is clueless. He speculates some populist BS without any deep understanding. Completely meaningless. Julie Holland at 4:42 is right on point. All her claims supported by recent research in neuroscience. Emeran Mayer at 5:15 is wrong I would say, according to current consensu... |

| Probably millions of other people posted the same video with hateful remarks and it trigged an avalanche of hateful discussions. Facebook AI was overwhelmed with reports and gone berserk wiping out posts containing this video in any context. |

| Some effort required to make vegan diet healthy. On average plant based food is deficient in many essential amino acids and fats and contains antinutrients that can trigger autoimmune issues and make microelements and vitamins less bioavailable. |

| Not everyone is as skilled at using search engines and doing research. Generally those people have instead learned how to ask others to assist them with gathering the knowledge they need. I try to not begrudge those people for being less capable in this one regard; they usually have other redeeming... |

| I understand feeling a need for caution and wanting as many vaccinated as possible before lifting all the restrictions, but we're doing pretty well so far, and last summer we found that even with places being opened back up and people going and doing things, it's just not as much of a risk as it is... |

Further removal of restrictions is happening here in the UK on the 17th of May, and it seems we're on track for the 21st of June to be the removal of most of the rest of the restrictions. The f... |

| BMI is very misleading and kind of meaningless. What matters is your lean body mass and body fat percentage. If you are 163 lbs, but your body fat % is in healthy range for your age, there is no need to lose any weight. If you would be perfect weight according to your BMI, but body fat % is too high... |
