A slight tangent to the parent topic, but should HackerNews be about nutrition as much as it has been in the last few days? The comments are frequently woefully ignorant of any current nutritional science and often anecdotes of how one trend diet or broscience factoid helped them achieve their goals.
As much as the discussion can be interesting its not really on topic for what this site is for no? What gets worse is when a group of people uneducated on the topic begin an echo chamber of poor advice and "it worked for me!" mantras we get a pretty sickening discussion that would be frowned upon if it was regarding an actual technology topic.

If you are not actively managing your health as a full-time programmer your health will likely degrade. More solid data is needed, that is true. Unfortunately the accepted facts on this issue are turning out to be suspect.
