well that's the thing, to me the article was annoying because it's seriously picking at the lowest hanging fruit since "yeah this diet is sound and healthy but the name is dumb so we're going to poke at it" because (to me) it just seems like a proxy for actually making fun of the lifestyle and people who practice it, just in a less direct way as opposed to flat out saying "it's a fad diet and you're stupid for doing it" (which is essentially the direction some of the comments went anyway) which just sort of felt disingenuous.

i think the only "diet" i've ever reacted really harshly to is the master cleanse, and that is solely because it's incredibly unhealthy for women since it leaches calcium like you wouldn't believe and because it's completely founded on really insane pseudo science (i read the book by the guy who designed the diet and it's flat out bizarre)
