As someone with an intolerance to artificial sweeteners, I'll never forgive Jamie Oliver for pushing the sugar tax, alongside his insistence on "improving" school meals that resulted in mass outsourcing of school food to the lowest bidder.
Kids aren't drinking less soft drinks than before, the drinks themselves have just replaced sugar with chemicals and byproducts that aren't particularly healthy themselves...
OH NO, NOT SCARY CHEMICALS!!!111
Sugar is a chemical, ya dolt. So is water. So are most of the components that make up you.
Man, education has really taken a nose dive...
Maybe leave the cuntery back over at Reddit...
This community is supposed to be for uplifting news.
The community name isn't a license to say dumb things and not be called out for it
Then call it out, but maybe not be such a cunt about it. It's an embarrassment for the fediverse that someone can't be civil to what is a fair comment, even if it's not factually accurate. Even on cesspools like Reddit you wouldn't see this kind of toxicity.
It wasn't a fair comment though was it it was an attempt to spread utterly false information. Also I'm sorry, but I completely do not accept this premise that somehow Lemmy is better than Reddit.
It was absolutely a fair comment.
The quoted part of the comment makes it seem like "chemicals" is the subject of the assertion. It's not. The comment goes on to describe what chemicals and why they're a concern.
Yes, it's not a great comment, it's not eloquent, it could be more concise... but that doesn't mean it's appropriate to make disingenuous misrepresentations about the authors intended meaning.
Okay well I will challenge the content of the comment and you can make arbitrary and utterly unfounded comments about my assessment.
But apparently I'm not allowed to call out insanity wherever it appears because that would be rude. God save me, I was rude to an ass wipe.
