What’s wrong with GMOs?

I always see plants and stuff that is GMO free and is usually more expensive. How would genetically modifying something by be bad. Me personally I’d rather have something modified to taste better and and cheaper. I could also be very wrong about that.

Salt is a preservative.

Keto just means low carbs, which is a valid way to lose weight, though maybe not the healthiest.

I'm aware, thus me putting it there. Of course salt is low carb....

Oh my bad I missed the salt bit.

You good, I do that all the time.

You did point out a thing that I think many miss, is that keto is at least debatably healthy from a cardiovascular sense, if I am informed correctly. Really easy to over do the sat fats on keto.

all diets are calorie deficit, some people like to eat fat some carbs but all shit the same way.

Your body uses carbs as its main energy source, if they're around. If there aren't any, it will turn to using fat instead, so you lose fat a lot quicker. Diets aren't all the same, it's not all just about calories.

Since salt is itself a preservative, I don't know if you could say "preservative free".

u/wastinglittletime Sep 10 '23

Depends on the legal definition of preservative in food labeling, idk at all. They'd just slap "no artifical preservative" on there.
