It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

You were lied to in the sense that all "superfoods" are just bs marketing to sell you the latest cook book.
Spinach, kale and broccoli is good for you, but any argument for why these are good and not apples, seeds, beetroot, carrots, yams, potatoes, pineapple, bananas or whatever is entirely subjective.

isn't the entire "superfood" thing (which I agree is mostly marketing BS) just about density of nutrients relative to calories and/or unit of weight?

That or its "chock full of antioxidants" or vitamins or iron or whatever the fuck quality it is they decide on, which they can market the latest crop that had a particularly good harvest season

by that definition the ultimate superfood is a multivitamin pill.

The ultimate diet is a handful of pills and half a can of peanut butter every day.
