Disclaimer: What I’m about to say in no way is to claim that this article is not insane and ghoulish especially with the time it’s being published.
With that out of the way, this idea is directly related to my research and my thesis. There are very few concrete things we know about nutrition at all, including the effects of fasting. But one thing is overwhelmingly clear:
Being hungry sometimes is good for you.
Having constant access to as much food as you want with no restriction is bad for basically every part of you, based on decades of animal and human study. As a tiny tiny example, my study rats that were on free feed were significantly overweight, performed worse on behavioral tasks, had more health complications, and were more likely to die early than the rats on a time restricted feeding schedule. They also tried to bite me more.
Again, this doesn’t make this article any more okay or less ghoulish, I just think my research is neat and wanted to talk about it.
What’s funny to me, religions (at least christianity and islam) got that shit figured out, with some fasting periods in year. I wonder how they landed on that idea, or was it just natural post winter low food storage situation

I figured that’s what it was, it’s very much the timing that makes it ghoulish.
Calmly explaining away chronic youth malnutrition by pointing to 30 year old obesity stats.
Yah no they just want you to be ready for the shit storm coming, though I agree
