I eat meat, but man do I see some dumb shit posted on that com. Apparently I called someone too hard on their bullshit. Hardcore carnists sure are fucking delicate. Maybe they should get a little more fiber in their diet.

If you don’t eat fiber you’re going to have some serious gut issues later in life. Lack of fiber has been linked to colon and other gut cancers.

Also i prefer to not be backed up for two weeks waiting to poop from lack of fiber but you do you.

    You'll be surprised to learn that eating no fiber at all completely relieved idiopathic constipation in a study done on the topic: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3435786/

    Observational study, obviously, and correlation isn't causation. But it's easy enough to experiment on yourself. I have no constipation and consume no fibre in my diet.

    Idiopathic constipation - these people were not healthy. It's a bit like saying reducing gluten for patients with celiac disease makes people healthier so no one should eat gluten.

    But who cares about science when you can cherry-pick papers.

    Pick a lane! Either you want scientific papers, or you don't. Ignoring papers because they don't line up with your pet hypothesis is anti-science.

    also has other benefits, slowing down blood sugar absorption, and fat absorption.

    Yes, this is why fibre is a anti-nutrient. If you don't eat unhealthy food this isn't a positive thing.

    usually it keeps your regular too.

    If people enjoying bulking up their stools, good for them, but this isn't a health benefit.
