    Someone wrote a whole analysis of this document to debunk it and in the end confirmed what the document said, that USSR citizens consumed about the same amount of calories as USians, but that the composition of the USSR diet was different to what the CIA said in this doc.

    And somehow they felt that disproved the entire document lol.

      It doesn’t matter to libs whether or not something is actually true, only whether they can find some technicality to dismiss information they don’t like. Even if their own analysis ultimately agrees with something they disagree with, they will ignore their own findings to preserve their own beliefs.

    Should anyone be surprised though? It’s hard to beat the typical US diet for worst diet without resorting to crazy Yeonmi Park level stuff or places where there legitimately isn’t enough food

    America has been poisoning our rivers, our skies and our bodies and not only has the government done nothing, they have and continue to help these corporations in doing this. Compared to the US every other country is healthy.

    EDIT: The source saya the document waa first written in 1983.

      Data was from the 1960s and mostly 1970s iirc. I had it downloaded some 5-6 years ago.

    Feels like these documents are declassified every week.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for this, but it’s just not new at this point.

      It straight up says 2007 on there, nobody’s saying this is news. That doesn’t mean anyone actually knows the CIA said that.

        OP provided the source, straight from the cia website.

          Did you already know the CIA said that before you saw OP’s post or did you just miss my point?
