This is a great compilation with incredible detail. There used to be a site called something like Ministry Defense that had a listing of every single Church shooting. I found a very useful resource for offering a counterpoint whenever somebody talked about removing God from school as being the reason for school shootings.
It's a little hard to tease out some of the details here but if I'm reading it right calories were cut by about 500 a day. UPF (junk food) was decreased by a third and there was zero attempt at blinding or using a control. Oh and each person got $100 to put towards groceries each week.
After the end of the 8 weeks people lost an average of 7.7 pounds, Which is acceptable because anything more than 2 pounds a week is unsustainable and this just under one pound a week is slow enough that the body won't recognize that it's being starved and retaliate. So it sucks you have to go slow but slow wins long term. But buried in the details is that the standard deviation was 6.6 pounds meaning someone might have lost just 1.1 pounds and someone else might have lost 14.3. there is no way to tell from the released data what that standard deviation of a whopping 86% looked like in the individual level. I don't know if I could bring myself to publish a study with a standard deviation of 86%. I'd be afraid of getting bullied in the break room.
There should be a $100 per week for groceries study with zero interventions like counseling. Do you know how much healthier I would eat with $100 a week? I don't buy boxed mac and cheese because I want to. I buy it because I can't buy anything else.
It's kinda weird that UPFs accounted for 75% of the subjects diet to begin with. But then I see people's shopping carts and the amount of calories consumed as liquid sugar is insane. And I'm guilty of drinking too much ginger ale myself.
Mr Fusion strikes again.
And also with you.
A dictatorship, if you can keep it.
Did you see Section 31? People standing around in a circle telling us what they will do, then doing it, and finally telling us what they did. It felt like it burned a third of the screen time.

Anything cow tools related is a great template because of the transitive property.
Gately era meets cow tools. Not done by me.
One thing this doesn't get into is the misconception that a lot of people have that IQ is some kind of absolute score when it's a quotient that is combination your score averaged amongst others of your age group. Right now the highest possible IQ is 201 assuming a standard deviation of 16. There aren't enough people alive to get higher than that.
