"HN comments are always a cesspool of people trying to prove they're smarter than the author of the post..."
They frequently are smarter or better-informed. Just because someone writes a post on a blog doesn't mean they're smart or have deep knowledge about their subject matter.
And referring to peoples' comments as a "cesspool" is not particularly civil.

On the topic of health, diet and fitness, HN is particularly bad. It is a war between favourite self-promoting authors by proxy. Nary a dietitian to be seen. Everyone has their pet secret history and by god they will proselytise it.

Listening to HN for fitness advice :: Doing a seminary at a porn convention. :v

Lettuce beef air... Even FCJ has to unite with me against a common enemy – i.e. HN re: naive, uneducated, opinions on fitness.
It's very clear that you didn't read the article. Dick, the author, is my best friend and comparing him to a fat apologist is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
He's a fat-kid-turned-competitive-bodybuilder and has helped a very large amount of people lose a lot of weight by cutting out the crap diets and mentality that try to confuse people into eating less than their TDEE every week. Dick's simplified diets for me and explained to me that fucking up every once in a while is ok, and I went from failing Atkins 2 times to losing 65lb in 8 months, and as I'm writing this I'm currently eating ice cream and waffles.
I understand that the fitness industry has a lot of negative stereotypes around it, for good reason, but please dear god read the article before you try to convince yourself that this person is just like the rest.
