When most people say "processed food" they really mean "engineered food". Bread is processed, yes, but so is cooked meat, and there's A reasonable theory that the Invention of cooking made food more easily digestible, freeing up energy to evolve our big brains in the first place.

There's also evidence that prepared food that is literally engineered to be as cheap as possible, taste good and make you want more, may not be so good for you.

It would be interesting to see what we came up with if a significant number of people knew that working on things they're interested in was a viable choice. You could also no longer use the excuse "but I have to eat" for doing unethical things at the behest of your employer. Which is why it will probably never happen.

If they have access to venture capital or stock market funding, they're the big boys. The only reason for pre-ordering is to provide capital for the little guys who can't get it from somewhere else.

Carbohydrates are also essential to the diet, particularly for the brain. Many tissues in your body are reasonably happy burning a variety of things, but your brain likes it's glucose very much. You can't just eliminate or seriously restrict a nutrient and not have negative consequences.

The problem is that many people have diets that are wildly skewed. They may eat too little fat and too much carbohydrate. Or too much fat and carbohydrate and too little protein and micronutrients.

Sounds like most workplaces, actually. Except for the exercise wheel.

If your wife was "sensitive" the neighbours having mayo in their fridge, you might have a slightly different opinion.

Do they like rock and roll or classical better? Porn or reruns of I Love Lucy?

Cells may respond to particular frequencies more than others. They don't give a shit if it's modulated or not.

You cannot hear EM signals. You may be able to some high frequency sounds from poorly made electronics that most older people can't anymore. On the other hand, you may have tinnitus.

Easily detected with proper longitudinal analysis.

On average, research has shown that women are more likely to believe in things without evidence: religion, fortune tellers, superstitions, the inner goodness of their family members. There's no real evidence about whether it's genetic or the product of their upbringing.

The treatment for phobia is exposure therapy. If anything the current societal strategy of sheltering people is making mentally ill people with phobias worse.

Paper in landfills probably isn't such a good idea because that land tends to be close to cities and thus at a premium. Bury it in old mines or sink it in the ocean instead.

That's not entirely true. Apparently many forests, especially in the US, are time bombs because the natural burn cycle has been interrupted by humans. Dead trees and underbrush pile up faster than they decompose and you end up with a forest that becomes more and more of a fire hazard. That was the conclusion of the US national forest service, anyway.

Properly planned burns are the best way to deal with the problem, but responsible harvesting can also help a lot.

I'm not American, but I generally get the feeling most Americans don't like paying more taxes, not even to fund things like getting the unemployed to sort their garbage for them.

I guess if you haven't figured out how to use a screwdriver. The "non-replaceable" batteries in iPhones and Android devices are pretty easy to replace, and you can get them cheap on Amazon or eBay. I'm about to replace the screen on my iPhone. It's actually cheaper to do it yourself than the $50 extended warranty charge from Apple, and MUCH cheaper than the $200 if it's off warranty.

I had a friend who used to repair game consoles. People would bring him dead xboxes and he'd desolder the BGA chips and replace them. THAT's a bit extreme. Replacing broken parts in a smartphone isn't.
