People need to stop starving themselves if they are both: under 20 AND under 6'2

If you starve yourself while your growth plates aren't closed and you aren't already at an ideal height your fucking yourself over, its fine to be a little bit fat while your young since you can change that, but you can't change your height after your plates close.

If your not under 6'2 and under 20 then you could starve yourself, but the better option is always workout.

context dependent, could just restrict and "starve" for a small time frame like 8 weeks to get your desired leanness it wont have any significant impact for such a negligible time frame in the grand scheme of things and just cruise on maintenance after. Height is genetic and small part of it nutrition-based but I agree with the sentiment of your argument it's a good message
