Lounge › Off topic beginner friendly long read

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

I read post #119 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Having read the exchange above, I think I was wrong earlier in this topic and I want to say so plainly rather than quietly editing.

The correction was fair and I had been repeating something I had not checked carefully enough.

This follows post #119 rather than contradicting it.

Adjacent and interesting: you might post something about nutrition, bioavailability from a food perspective, or the sociology of weight. Adjacent to this community's core but not central.
