The celery item surprised me. I too had believed that celery = “negative” calories. The protein one is interesting, as bodybuilders swear by increased protein intake. (Read the unauthorized biography of Arnold Schwarzenegger, he used to eat steak, etc., like it was going out of style.) As for fast food not being unhealthy, well, DUH! Fast food companies all hire PhDs in Food Science, and you can bet that the various state and federal food safety laws, along with the requirement that all the ingredients be listed, etc., means that fast food is no different than other foods.

The problem is that you can do people real harm by posting as though you have expertise that you do not have. I don’t care how smart you think you are; if you want to be a diet expert you will have to put in six to ten years of post secondary education, and then follow that up with relevant experience.

Please stop doing this, it’s unethical.

If you’re going to debunk myths, you need to have the necessary expertise and you need to do the actual research. You can’t simply believe that your own understanding is enough to debunk someone else’s. For example, your math regarding celery is based on your misunderstanding of the claim. Resting calories are not the issue. The claim is, that some raw vegetable contain so much fiber that the energy spend in digesting the raw fiber exceeds the energy content of the food. That is not the case if the same vegetable is even slightly cooked.

I really get annoyed with self-styled experts using the internet to pass off their opinions as fact. And my own disclaimer, I am not an expert in this either, so please don’t swallow my opinions blindly.

If you’re going claim that you’re right and Snopes is wrong though, you need to convince me that you are fully qualified, with, for example, a phD in the appropriate field.
