While Dorsey is rather extreme, his lifestyle is a lot healthier than the average American’s or most everyone’s in the developed world. Eating junk food around the clock is really bad for you. Note that Dorsey isn’t fat and diabetic like so many people these days.

"Not as bad as", aka The Fallacy of Relative Privation, is a "red herring" fallacy.

It is a distraction, a diversion, and, in so many words, whataboutism.

yes its veganism that is the extreme part of this...

cnahr, it's the average American that is extreme in the opposite direction. You can be extremely healthy following some basic and well tested advices (the HN crowd have contributed to great threads on this) without eating iridescent Himalayan thunder berries juice every full moon like Dorsey could sooner or later recommend.

[cnahr]

Yes, of course. I don’t disagree with that at all.

Cool, you also just described Gwyenth Paltrow.

Okay, now tell me what’s wrong about not being fat and diabetic. Note I certainly don’t endorse veganism where you’re missing out on essential fats and proteins.
