  The YouTube cartoon must be right then 👍. Glad it helped you to eat less.

    I mean, maybe check the sources yourself, they’re pretty clearly linked and nicely arranged in a doc for you right under the video?

    It’s astounding that here I am being humble enough to link a good explainer on the topic rather than being arrogant enough to link the primary sources as if I’m an expert on the subject capable of fully interpreting multiple papers, and here you are, dismissing one of the most well-respected science communicators on the planet today as a “YouTube cartoon”.

    Is this why we live in a post-truth world, where folks with zero media literacy or critical thinking ability, think there is no difference between this and PragerU or between The Sun and The Guardian? It’s all just “cartoons” or “news” innit?

    No wonder the country is in the fucking gutter.
