Hacker News Reader

I know we interpret very broadly what topics are considered “hacker” news here. But I, for one, think the topic of nutrition and particularly vegan nutrition seems to generate a lot more heat than light on HN.

There are plenty of other places online people can go to discuss this. I wouldn’t mind seeing this site stick a little closer to its hacker roots.

View on HN

I disagree. This is a huge area which is ripe for innovation. Eating crap food is a huge problem for society and many don't even realise what they are doing to their bodies or the planet.

I’m pretty much vegan myself and have been an advocate for plant based diets here on HN many times. But the discussions on this topic don’t ever seem to go anywhere productive here with people mostly talking past each other.

There are plenty of other places people that want to debate this stuff can go.

But Soylent!!!
