Make sure you know the context, what foods or diets are being compared.

Carnivore or vegan vs. healthy omnivore?

Big difference between that comparison and comparing any of them with UPF-rich SAD. ImageImage
Also, some people heal and do great on higher carb diets by ditching UPFs and alcohol.

So is this really a comparison of low carb vs. high carb foods?

LC/carnivores always compare animal foods to ultra-processed junk foods.
"Steak is healthier than pop tarts so steak is better than any carbohydrate-containing foods."

Practically every single cell in your body synthesizes cholesterol yet carnivores are telling you to get more dietary cholesterol from steak and eggs so you can make testosterone and vitamin D. Image
Skin color and genetic polymorphisms likely have a significantly greater influence on Vit D synthesis.

The amount of cholesterol in your diet is trivial compared to the amount in your body.

Just overheard: "the intermittent fasting people on Twitter are the only ones who think skipping breakfast in the morning is better. The research shows tapering off food intake as the day progresses is healthier."
No one is hungry in the morning, but gotta get that protein for the MPS & entraining circadian rhythms.

Family time at dinner is great but it doesn't have to be a feast or the biggest meal of the day, every day. Image

American Psycho (2000, amzn.to/3U7pwm3) is a pretty good book -> movie crossover. Most book -> movie crossovers don't go over well with original book readers.
In the book (amzn.to/3VvHvDY) and film, Bateman is clearly insane and delusional. One of the final movie scenes where he frantically confesses to his lawyer he's killed 100s of people; in the book it's 1000's cuz a book isn't limited to 2 hours.
I recently rewatched American Psycho and it's basically a foodie movie starring an untra-wealthy delusional narcissistic psychopath.

OK, I'll do it for a blog post. Obesity rates vs. however they measured calorie intake, by country. Correlational but maybe some hypotheses will come of it.
