  • Peer review isn’t an infallible process, it has been shown to be super susceptible to cronyism for example, and even outside of it churns out a vast array of (mostly) useless unreproducible, or sometimes even entirely fraudulent, research. I don’t even have a problem with the former part, research is actually a lot more tinkering and trial based than some set-in-stone endeavour and it certainly wouldn’t hurt the good Ms Sparado to remember that.

    I am paraphrasing the post from memory but it came across extremely gatekeepy and condescending with the “but have you conducted double blind trials like I have?” (or sentiments to that effect) as if those are the only valid ways of conducting research. Not even a slight sign of humility in how much researchers and academics have got wrong themselves and maybe to use that as an example in caution when doing your own research.


  • Right, because professional researchers and academics have never been blinkered by biases or had financial motives to publish certain things or the fact that most published research is unreproducible horseshit. I don’t need a meta-analyses and cross corroborated studies to know something works for me despite all the published reasons that say it shouldn’t (or vice versa). Pathetic attempt at gatekeeping IMO completely forgetting that most research is in fact based on tinkering and trial & error. Professional researchers are not magically immune to human biases and fallacies, case in point thalidomide, trans fats, “heart healthy” seed oils etc etc.














  • Reported me for what?? Hurting your feelings?

    Usual soy brain takes from huffing too much vegan propaganda. Meat is meat and contains enough nutrients for the obligate carnivore. You seem a little slow so I will repeat it once more; inventing loopholes to jump through just so your obligate carnivore unconsenting pet can follow your ridiculous fad diet is the height of insanity.

    Since you mentioned commercial pet food, to be clear this is a strawman as that shit is equally obnoxious and only an ignorant chump would feed it to their pet with any regularity.
