Tim Noakes has become a rather divisive character.
Once the poster boy for the ‘Real Meal Revolution’ and the high-fat, low carb Banting diet, these days the Prof is usually found tweeting about the evils of Dr Anthony Fauci and pushing back against the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
There’s also the usual ‘mainstream media won’t tell you this’ narrative interspersed among his hundreds and hundreds of retweets.
Say what you want about his eating habits but he’s helluva active on social media.
Enter Prof Tim Hoakes, a spoof Twitter account that pokes fun at Noakes with some clever barbs.
The spoof account has been blocked by the real Noakes and it’s not hard to see why.
Yesterday we were treated to this classic:
BREAKING: We meant to launch it in time for Christmas but cancel-culture, in the form of supply issues, meant it had to wait till January.

I’ve zoomed in a little closer on the back cover copy for your enjoyment:
Surely even the Noakes acolytes have to find that amusing?
I’ve handpicked a few other gems from days and months gone by:

Lewis Hamilton lost that race because he’s vegan. An athlete can’t expect to win a world championship on a plant-based diet.

I conducted an experiment to test if #lowcarb diet prevents sunburn.
On the right side of my body, I used a standard USDA-recommended (and Big Pharma-funded) snack and on my left side, my traditional lunch.
An overwhelming case for #keto!#LCHF pic.twitter.com/UavTQuDc4x

Disgusting. These bears could easily prevent this by pursuing a high-protein diet of fish, such as salmon, which contains vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12, vitamin D, vitamin E, and selenium.https://t.co/auTdKy2Rlg

You know you’re on the right track when all the experts are saying you’re wrong.

I stand by my statement that there would be no second wave. We are just in the third iteration of the first wave.

There have been more than 1,000,000 car deaths in the USA since they mandated seatbelts in 1968. Clearly they are ineffective yet the government continues to infringe on the human right to move freely around the inside of a car. 🚶🏼

I will not be a sheep to Big Pharma or Big Seatbelt!
As a bonus, take a look at the single account Tim Hoakes follows. If you know, you know.
