Wow I had heard Crossfit was a bit of an obsession for some people and a quirky approach to fitness, but I had no idea their official spiel was this level of paranoia - attacking academia as an unholy alliance of the establishment?

> The voluntary CrossFit community of 15,000 affiliates and millions of individual adherents stands steadfastly and often alone against an unholy alliance of academia, government, and multinational food, beverage, and pharmaceutical companies.

If you've ever been an athlete, and have spent 30 seconds watching crossfit - it becomes obvious the goal is to see how dumb of an "exercise" you can do before getting hurt.

There are two type of crossfitters - those who have gotten a permanent and serious injury, and those who are going to get one.

What is wrong with a` low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet.`? That doesn't really seem like pseudoscience in the realm of anti-vaccine and grapefruit diet BS. It's a valid diet.

I don’t know much about the diet, but when it went crazy at my office a few years ago, half of the crossfitters ended up with significant injuries.

The fitness program is dangerous and dumb.
