         | I wonder how mass-produced frozen falafel you find in every
         | salad bar in the US compares to the Mediterranean diet. I
         | suspect that the venn diagrams do not overlap.

         | Why are paywalled posts left or even allowed on HN? I'm sure
         | there are other sources of this exact content. I have nothing
         | against paywalling unique content, just don't expect me to buy
         | a subscription just to blab about it here.

           | "Paywalled" isn't black and white. In this case, the article
           | doesn't seem to be paywalled when accessed from outside the
           | US, and from within the US reader mode also works. In other
           | cases you may have a limited number of article views free per
           | month. In that case, one can clear cookies/local storage to
           | reset, or use a private browser window/tab.

           | skipping inline ads disguised as legitimate content. Every

       | As for the Mediterranean diet. I practice a modified version, and
       | I really do feel much better than when I'm eating food that has
       | been processed to hell.

         | PPV is pretty old concept, but it just gets wrecked by ad
         | supported free content. Which is basically what you described
         | but with unlimited access and higher upside no?
         | 
         | The content has to be genuinely very unique to be worth ppv,
         | i.e a boxing match. I'd be very annoyed to ppv a listicle.

       | Judging by the picture (since that's all I can see) the
       | mediterranean diet consists of bread, filled pastries, fritters,
       | and dairy-based sauces.

         | The way I remember it is:
         | 
         | For fats, Olive oil
         | 
         | For snacks, nuts
         | 
         | For calories, whole grains
         | 
         | For fiber, salads
         | 
         | For minerals, Veggies
         | 
         | For protein, Legumes
         | 
         | For protein, Fish poultry
         | 
         | For drinks, Wine and Water
         | 
         | For desert, Fruit

           | Regarding fruit, I believe that article is saying fruit can
           | be eaten regularly with every meal. You can eat it during the
           | meal or afterward as a "dessert." Foods with added sugars
           | should not be eaten daily but can be enjoyed a couple times a
           | week or less.
