I would have loved to join in on that, I would have kept pressing her until she admitted to not believing in physics. I'm so glad Navy Medicine never forced us to put up with that shit.

I do this quite a lot. Never knew what it was called, or that there was a name for that. Cheers.

Bear with me a moment; this is relevant I promise.
When I took sociology in college, my professor was an avowed communist, spouting all kinds of opinions I disagreed with. However, when it came time to turn in papers or take tests, I just regurgitated his beliefs back to him in order to pass. Easy A for a stupid required humanities class.
I think something similar happens in nutrition classes. Back when there was only one fat person in a class, that one would argue fatlogic with the professor. "But I only eat xxx calories and exercise every day..." They would get shut down by the professor.
Eventually they would just shut up and answer the test questions, while still holding their fatlogic beliefs, and pass the class. Many of these types have then gone on to get degrees in nutrition and other health fields, and now have actual credentials.
Now that many of them do have credentials, they get to perpetuate their fatlogic from atop a fortress of authority, which is very dangerous for our society as a whole, because many uninformed people will be suckered into believing as they do.

Optimistic Devil's Advocate: The next generation won't buy what these cows are selling any more than you agreed with Prof. Marx. They're just regurgitating the beliefs back until they don't have to bite their tongue anymore.
Yeah, yeah... I've heard about that bridge for sale.

Totally one of my favorite quotes of all time, and only thing an adam sandler movie ever contributed to society.
Good for you showing self restraint, if i was stuck listening to this shit i might have lost my mind.

SFD, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things i have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award no points, and may God have mercy on your soul".
I laughed so hard at that. I quoted the same thing a month or so ago on someone's post. I loved Billy Madison as a kid. Aren't dieticians supposed to be educated? Nobody's paying them for their opinion, and any dietician that doesn't believe in CICO should be fired.

Ohhhh I would have gone in on that cow. (Air Force cop, what's up buddy!) We're notorious for just being complete dicks to those people so they'll beg to never come back again.

Funny thing: military is not kind to stupid but so many higher ups are the definition of retardation.
