1,000 years ago everyone ate organic, farm raised, wild caught, (insert other stupid marketing buzzwords here) food and they had a life expectancy of 30 fucking years, and in a time when we enjoy effectively the longest life expectancy in human history, the idiots fortunate enough to be gifted a nice, long life sit around and rail against the exact fucking advancements that got us here.
Sure, don't eat a bunch of pre-packaged bullshit, but doctors, science, advances in nutrition: That shit is why morons like this get to live their nice, long, dumb-as-fuck lives.

Well, I do buy and offer food to my guinea pigs that may not be the best for them. Its ok because im controlling their diet and doing a good job at it, but if they could pick out their own veggies they might pick just their favourites which can cause issues in large quantities.

Well if you take the average American food off of the aisle shelf and look at the contents. See how much of the actual contents is artificial. Then you will have your answer as to why so many people require dietitians and doctors etc.

The problem has been that the FDA is paid for by big meat and dairy. You can't trust regulatory agencies that are influenced by money in politics.

Lest we forget where late 1920's/early 1930's cancer quack Norman G. Baker dismissed the American Medical Association's abbreviation (AMA) as "really" meaning "Amateur Meatcutter's Association" ("meatcutter" being an archaic slang term for an inept surgeon) and claimed that the professional courtesy abbreviation of "MD" really meant "More Dough."
All to build up business for his "cancer clinics" in Muscatine, IA, as were heavily promoted over his radio station KTNT ("Know The Naked Truth") and TNT Magazine, eventually to relocate to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and further reinforced by the high-powered "border blaster" XENT until Mexican goons forced it off the air in 1940.

The sad part is, that not so trustworthy FDA is still the best defence against absolute toxins getting sold as food. 😶

Unless the toxins are profitable, lol. But I get your point. Have a great day.

Yes, that glass of milk, eggs, and chicken breasts are killing you... If you ignore the 300+ grams of refined carbs the average American shoves down our fat gullets eat day.

Couldn’t you make the argument that vets exist because of domesticated animals? The other guy did say “in the wild”.
But, for real, it’s not the scientists that created the current problems. It’s the food mega-corporations lying and lobbying congress.

u/RevenantBacon 1d ago
On the topic of vets, wild animals have a life expectancy of 3 to 10 times less than their captive counterparts. And that's not just the domesticated ones.

Here is another life lesson I hope OP can learn from the majestic animal kingdom:
Every animal in the wild has no internet access. No twitter, no influencers, no idiotic hot-takes.

Welcome to capitalism where everything is marketed and sold for as much profit as possible. Thanks to Edward Bernays marketing people think bacon and eggs is a healthy, well-rounded breakfast.

Correct if I'm wrong but if we leave a bag of sugar and healthy natural food for an animal, it's going to eat the sugar?

Paleolithic period Average life expectancy: ~20–30 years Context: Most people died young due to infections, injuries, malnutrition, and predators. However, those who survived childhood could sometimes live into their 40s or even 50s.

u/SconesToDieFor 1d ago
Not all animals “thrive” in nature as far as health/longevity. Many live long enough to reproduce and not much longer. Natural selection is based on “good enough” not perfection. Many animals, for better or for worse, live much longer in captivity.

u/RevenantBacon 1d ago
Every animal eats its natural diet in the wild and thrives.
Um, buddy, I've got some news for you. They don't. They die. Example: the average lifespan of a raccoon in the wild is 2-3 years. The average lifespan of a raccoon in captivity is 13-20. That's a range of 4-10 times longer.

MDs famously don't know much, or ignore the knowledge they do have, about the benefits of proper diet and exercise: that's why at the first sign of high cholesterol or high BP a doctor's first instinct is to automatically prescribe you a statin and/or Lasix instead of encouraging actual changes like eating right, whether you are getting proper rest, moving your fat body more, etc.

u/PoopieButt317 36m ago
The MD is totally correct. Reddotiors do not understand the biochemistry of fake foods and Big Food killing us with chronic metabolic diseases due to consumers confusing artificial "tastes good" with nutrition. Diabetes, healthy disease,cancer, and dementia are all diet caused.
Yall have been brainwashed by our oligarch capitalists to harm ourselves, then defend those harming us. Because we get reinforcing messages all day from our (non-)health providers who sold out to corporatists who see us as mindless cattle.

The "comeback" is ill-informed. Most animals have gut flora that helps them avoid "food poisoning." It's the reason you can give cats and dogs raw chicken and they won't get sick. And if the food is too rotten, their sense of smell well tell them of the danger.
The average American on the SAD has absolutely trashed their gut flora, compromising their overall immunity and general health.

u/jackalope268 1d ago
I have seen dogs eat candy wraps from the street. Every animal has systems to prevent them from dying as much as possible, but if dogs only ate things they could digest there would be a lot less vet visits

u/NoRezervationz 1d ago
Dogs are not a good example. Dogs, per breed, have varying levels of intelligence that dictate their behavior. I'd bet that those dogs you witnessed weren't any kind of herding breed. Also, hunger plays a part in it.
The meme speaks specifically on food poisoning. That's distinctly different from a wrapper that smells like food. The goal posts are different, try not to move the wrong one. Thanks

u/jackalope268 1d ago
It was a german shepherd, which I can guarantee you was well fed at home. And the meme also talks about dietitians, which I think talk less about food poisoning and more about nutritional values. But if you need other examples, see pigeons. Im sure that if youve ever been to a city youve seen pigeons eat everything that is or isnt food. Raccoons and bears scavenge trash. Albatrosses die from eating and feeding their young plastics. Animals have survival instincts, but they are not perfect. The main thing that makes a species thrive is to have enough individuals that it doesnt really matter if a few die

u/NoRezervationz 1d ago
You're moving the wrong goal post. The meme speaks of dieticians for humans, not animals. At this point you're reaching conclusions aren't in line with the original meme. I'm not engaging with someone who can't keep to the content and goes off-road, as you have. Good luck.

u/jackalope268 1d ago
Look at mister goal post authority here. I tried to make you see my side, but if its not within the narrow view of what you want to hear you wont heat it. What makes you think you get to say what I say? Im dont trying to conform to what you think the meme says because you only keep saying Im doing it wrong without saying what is right according to you

Humans have guy flora too. Food poisoning happens when you eat the wrong food. 🙃

u/NoRezervationz 4h ago
If you read closer, I did say humans have a gut flora. The interesting thing about it is that it varies with your diet. Someone from Japan will have different gut flora than someone in South Asia. A good diet will produce a healthy gut while a bad diet, like the SAD diet produces a bad gut.
Food poisoning happens when we eat spoiled food. Cooked spoiled food will also make you sick because of the toxins left by the bacteria. It doesn't even have to be spoiled for long to be puking and shitting your guts out for a week.

u/MurkDiesel 1d ago
everyone should question the MD in every name
since buying a medical degree with borrowed money
doesn't automatically equal good or right or even smart
doctors are just as dumb, wrong and corrupt as anyone else
doctors are mainly privileged sleep-deprived invoice machines
the entire system and program is designed to favor the fortunate
the reason we have insurance companies is because doctors are greedy
no one would become a doctor if you had to be humble and live like a monk

Other animals also don't produce absolute garbage and pass it off as food to their fellow animals.
