Most dieticians are worse than useless. They push low fat bullshit on
nearly everybody. They tell people to restrict salt even if the person has
no problems with salt. They recommend eating worthless starches. I laugh at all the clowns who have wasted decades of their lives following dietary advice that reduced pleasure w/o really impacting health. Egg substitute and skim milk isn't living, it's existing.
