Overly reductionist statement and as inaccurate as what you're arguing against.
There are absolutely foods we know to be bad for humans.
- vikiomega9 9y agoI think this is meant to be read as a catch-all statement as opposed to considering other factors (lifestyle, mental state etc)
- throwaway7645 9y agoI think you're being excessively critical here like a compiler :) You're not wrong, but I definitely understood the parent comment's point.
- ethbro 9y agoI'd be more inclined to grant linguistic leeway if the parent themselves hadn't jumped on someone else's turn of phrase. Nutrition science has figured out some things to a high probability. It's still unsure and mystified by others. Don't throw the former out because the latter exists.
- throwaway7645 9y agoFair enough and good point
- thwarted 9y agoMaybe the first step is to stop referring to things that are absolutely bad for humans as "food".
