Requesting a data point: did your heuristics point to me being a proponent of raw foodism and trying to sneak in my ideology? I hadn't even read about it before I made my comment.
I don't encounter many people in my life who care about particular diets much and count myself amongst them. In fact, I know none irl. Do you find this unusual?
I didn't assume you were a raw food proponent.
I don't know a lot of people who do much with their diet. Offhand, I know two ex-vegetarians who still eat very little meat, one person who did CR for a few years, and one person who gave himself an eating disorder (I hope he's over it) by following a claimed-to-be- healthy diet which was much too low calorie for him. Oh, and a woman who seems to be doing well on the same diet. And two people who are following some complicated diet which involves different types of food on a cycle. They've lost weight, but I'm dubious about their ability to maintain it. Rather more people than I thought before I started listing.
I know two people who are serious about supplements. One of them limits carbs drastically.
"Nutrition is the mind-killer." Definitely true, and funny.
I've done a little survey about the effects of trying to lose weight, if you'd like to see some mind-killing and some non-mind-killed people. I'm trying to figure out how to deal with (other people's) compulsion to give advice. Forbid it, or let it roar?
