Just a rather amusing observation here. Everyone in the world can each have a different opinion on the same issue. That is over 7 BILLION opinions.
Shouldn't we just agree to disagree, give our best advice and roll out?
I'm rather entertained when difference of opinion turns into a bloodthirsty battle of X versus Y.
:drinker: To all of you who can share your opinion with no need to "cut down" someone else :drinker:

    It makes a difference when it's someone telling the masses to do something that could potentially be harmful to their health.

    Or are you trying to say you think we shouldn't bother? :huh:

    Excerpt:

    "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are only entitled to what you can argue for.”

    A bit harsh? Perhaps, but philosophy teachers owe it to our students to teach them how to construct and defend an argument – and to recognize when a belief has become indefensible.

    The problem with “I’m entitled to my opinion” is that, all too often, it’s used to shelter beliefs that should have been abandoned. It becomes shorthand for “I can say or think whatever I like” – and by extension, continuing to argue is somehow disrespectful.

    I'm never going to agree to disagree that juicing cleanses are going to magically detox the body of unspecified toxins in unspecified areas of the body.
    I'm never going to agree to disagree that protein isn't the best macro for building muscle while eating at a surplus.
    I'm never going to agree to disagree that eating 500 calories a day is a perfectly viable method to healthy weight loss.
    I'm never going to agree to disagree that Dr. Oz is the best thing to happen to health, fitness and weight loss.
