I didn't initially find the premise that eating a diet high in (especially animal) fat was bad for you impossible
Right, exactly.
It was through further study, of which data (generally compiled by others, though consistent with my own anecdotal observations) is one part, that i came to determine that this "fact" was false.
So you learned the actual reason for the causes of obesity, leading you to fully discount the previous assertion.
Objective study is not possible if you begin from a biased conclusion and then go out to (selectively) confirm that bias.
I agree! We cannot form our conclusion first without doing our due diligence, and sometimes that includes reckoning with the difficult questions that might skew our biased worldview
To begin with i didn't know wether it was true or not.
Exactly! You've come a long way. It's okay to admit if you're not sure of something, instead of blindly affirming to your first guess.
Now apply this to the discussion on the shape of the earth :)
"Aye, and if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon"
Not the same. This isn't an "if" statement.
You didn't "magically" get the correct answer by not believing in what ended up being incorrect. You learned the correct answer.
Oh I’ve looked, and the rate if complications, particularly death, is incredibly low, in the neighborhood of a fraction of a percent. It seems you think there is different data out there, but are unable to produce it
I’ve had similar conversations with people and it always ends the same way. Seems odd that people like you want to keep this data secret
I mean, usually if I'm making a claim I'll provide a link to support it, instead of just a vague overview.
I'm a supporter of real science and data. You haven't really provided any of that unfortunately.
I have been vaxxed if you insist on knowing, but not boosted. If I were a shill, I probably would have mentioned that myself. I'm only questioning your claims. You seem to think your claims are above questioning.
I mean the vax has been advertised as "super deadly" for the past two years, but a vast majority of those who got the shot are living life with minimal, if any, side effects. I'm not sure how we can conclude it's poisonous.
But HOW is it more expensive? With so much funding going towards educating the public on a globe earth, how is the truth more costly? What more is at stake? Would it not be cheaper to just educate people on the truth?
I’m not a bot.
If this is what is preventing you from explaining further, then I think it’s valuable for us to confirm that I’m not a bot so that we can have an earnest discussion! Would you like to have a conversation on a platform that allows for voice/video call?
I understand that. But in this particular case, what you have described yourself doing is gaining knowledge of the actual causes of obesity to fully discount the previous assertion. You said yourself:
