I apologize in advance if meme is insensitive, I keep accidentally implying things that I don't mean whenever I make posts on the internet

If anything, caloric restriction helps you stay alive longer.

there's a difference between "restricting calories" and "eating so little that you lack almost all the macro/micronutrients necessary for a properly functioning body"

one can have a calorie restrictive diet and still be eating junk food too

Calories are just a unit of energy - what you consume usually matters more than how many calories you consume
