"It says how these diets work *for weight loss*. Not for health. In that respect, it's completely accurate."

NB I acknowlege that it is technically accurate. you say completely... A nit, found.
Do you also fail to see that people looking for information about different methods of weight loss, are concerned about their health, or just choose to ignore it?

I do not see why you choose to point out the chart's technical correctness, while giving this for profit company a pass on ignoring the very different health implications of the diets in their chart. I do not see how that adds to the general understanding of weight loss methods.

You go further in your remarks, to what purpose, I am not sure. I held you no animus. I don't think we have ever interacted before. I even apologized if I sounded rude or arrogant.

I doubt that you are a shill for the company, so why such a snarky tone... "which last I checked..." Ouch.

Check again, perhaps. Hopefully we can recalibrate and start afresh. Best regards, Eric
