I know I am about six months behind the power curve on this post, but I wanted to give you and the ladies in the thread mad props!

Then I laughed, because in the last paragraph, you say, “Stuff like this is entertaining, but I think it can also serve an important purpose. Quazi is a tool of the system. ”

And of course, all I saw was, “Quazi is a tool.” *snicker*

Being a relative noob to your site, I am perusing the archives.

This is really funny stuff. It is sad that there are a lot of people who are addicted to what sites and people like what bodybuilding.com has to offer. Suppliments are terrible for your body. Sure you will bulk up, but not in a healthy way… and for women genetics has a TON to do with how your body responds to muscle.. as well as diet! You are awesome for sticking to your guys – and making fun of the meat head Keep up the great work – I love your posts!!

No worries Leslie! I’m eager to read your blogs and it’s perfectly fine if you don’t want to put up with Facebook BS. That can be quite stressful and stress is no good.

I’m putting together a blog and Facebook page and I am sooooo apprehensive about talking about food (which I love). My audience needs it though, because many of them are caught up in diet dogma.

I just found your hiking Facebook page. I’m excited!

Beth, so sorry. I love to talk about and express all things health, I am just not to keen on defending it when there is so much bias about diet these days. I remember you saying that you missed Co. and hope to return someday. Would love for you to come over and check it out. If you go to my blog my FB page link is at the bottom of my most recent post 😉

At least you know you are in good hands here on Go Kaleo! Amber knows her stuff!!

It amazes me how illogical they are. I’ve had arguments where their end point was, “Well I don’t care what scientists say, I’m going to listen to the guy who looks like the way I want to look.” But if you show them the same fallacy of logic by pointing out people like Hershel Walker, and how his 1000 pushups a day built a high degree of muscle mass and strength, then they’ll talk about how that isn’t applicable to all people because of genetics, and cherry pick scientific evidence to support their views. It’s a personal bias that, as you have said, has no basis in reality. They pervert facts to meet a belief system based on personal bias instead of adjusting their beliefs according to factual, scientific evidence. It’s insane!

The sad thing is that so many of these people are so deeply entrenched in the dogma that they’ll dismiss multiple scientific studies which repeatedly prove that their beliefs are incorrect. You know, because the scientific method isn’t as valid as, “My little league coach said…”

I’m so sorry you won’t have your Facebook page up anymore also. “Our Rustic Life” was one of my favorites (I have Our Rustic Life and Go Kaleo in my notifications even).

I’ll keep track of you on your blog too! I love your recipes so much! I am soooo eager to find out more about your hiking blog too…I love hiking and miss my hiking and backpacking days in Colorado. I’ll live vicariously through you and enjoy the pictures.

Amber I am so proud of you. Not that you haven’t heard that before. But I am a vet, married to a physician, so there is no one who comes to these types of websites with a more cynical mind than I do. I have met these guys. I have even worked with a personal trainer like this. Twice. And his approach to me was the same. And it didn’t work. Because I wasn’t him. I wasn’t a man. And I wasn’t going to buy the supplements. Because when I did the first time guess what? They didn’t work. You are my new hero.

What’s even MORE irritating is that those types of sites that the troll was flogging really have very little information geared towards women’s health and fitness. They simply assume that you (the global you, regardless of age, gender, body type, other factors) should train like a bro/bodybuilder and if it doesn’t work for you, then it must be YOUR fault for not doing it right because it totally worked for this one guy and his friends and all these other people on the forums. Maybe it’s just me and my feminist/critical thinking lady brain, but when the article’s language clearly excludes (“get shoulders that make the panties drop!/make your crazy ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend jealous” or even insults me (“with this program, you can’t train like a whiny sorority girl/can’t be a pussy/can’t cry like a girl…”, I’m not so interested in what they have to say.
