Agree on this. Especially research on Soylent like nutrition products for third world countries. Or the cheapest way to build muscle. Or a Crossfit alternative

Agree on this. Especially research on Soylent like nutrition products for third world countries. Or the cheapest way to build muscle. Or a Crossfit alternative that's free and does not need equipment.
- peteretep 11y agoCrossFit is already free - they've been posting the WOD on their blog for free since forever. You could just take their body weight exercises and pick one randomly every day and you'd be doing CrossFit.
- sandGorgon 11y agohence the research. Yes - I have been following people like Layne Norton, Lyle Macdonald, etc. for years. And Crossfit has a huge number of critics for its program. It would be see results of research on a safer, better program/diet.
- DrScump 11y agoBut even people who read research diligently (like Lyle) are only as informed as the research is accurate. Look back to what Lyle was writing 16 years ago (strict caloric arithmetic, the discovery of leptin will make dietary obsessions obsolete, microbiome doesn't matter, etc.)
- sandGorgon 11y agoagreed - which is why I think YC should spend on fitness/nutrition research. I personally think this has the potential to be a moonshot - if an unbiased entity (with no ties to entrenched interests) would spend money on research.
