    I hope this doesn't mean we aren't allowed to debate anything?

    You know, I remember when it was 8,000 members. And, all indications point to the fact that it was around 6,000+ when I joined. That's about 1/4 the current size. The amount of growth we have seen in crazy.

    Keto is close to hitting critical mass world wide and is heavily discussed outside of this group. What 1.5 years of change has happened. Strangers are hitting the main site saying the doctor told them about LCHF and/or mentioned to check out MFP.

    Our individual success begets that exponential growth. I mentioned in another thread about getting one's SO on board that I think leading by example is the best way to inspire others. My mom is a vegetarian T2 diabetic. I knew she'd benefit from this woe, but I also knew she needed to find the way on her own. I've been sharing my success, dropping breadcrumbs and using a bit of reverse psychology... 3 months later, she's ready to ease back into eating meat and take the LCHF plunge, and she's encouraging her bestie to do it with her.

    I bet many of the 25,000+ people here have similar stories. Soon we will have taken over the world! Mwahahahaha! Lol

    Love this group, thanks to the mods for keeping everyone civilised!

    No. Debating is fine. Just a reminder of how we should respond to one another in the process. :smile:

    Respectful debating is always awesome! I've learned a ton that way. "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it." :) I think society dies in small ways when we cannot learn and further ourselves through intelligent debate!

    I think it is important to remember that debate and disagreement doesn't automatically mean the same thing as dislike or unwelcome. I will debate some points very strongly. That doesn't mean those who disagree aren't welcome or that I don't like them or anything. Debate is how we sharpen our knowledge.
