Before I clicked the link I thought "I bet they got facebook warnings for some junk posts, but they'll play leaving facebook off as a moral decision." But I was surprised to be so wrong. With phrases like "corrupt academic organizations" they aren't even even trying to hide their culture-wide embrace of pseudosciences.

There are corrupt academic organisations. The idea that 'fat makes you fat' was exposed recently as having started with Harvard researchers being paid by sugar companies. Most nutritionists know that 'fat makes you fat' is simplistic (it ignores digestion) and accept that sugar contributes more towards obesity than fat does now.

Weirdly, FB banned a group advocating against 'fat makes you fat' in 2019.

> Recently, Facebook deleted without warning or explanation the Banting7DayMealPlan user group. The group has 1.65 million users who post testimonials and other information regarding the efficacy of a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. While the site has subsequently been reinstated (also without warning or explanation), Facebook’s action should give any serious person reason to pause, especially those of us engaged in activities contrary to prevailing opinion.

In the modern news cycle the only thing that matters is rage and shock. If they didn't make an unnecessary rant, it would get fewer retweets.
