Actually their real competition is information. Once you realize that no sugary drink is good for you, ever (unless you badly need calories even if devoid of nutrition), you will go to drinking only water. Nice water you purified at home with whatever method makes you feel better about drinking it. Their real enemy is water, the cheap drinks are probably made by the same companies and/or help keep the poor addicted until they can achieve drinking the aspirational products like Coke and Pepsi.

It isn't that drastic, that type of complacent behavior is driven by a "normalcy bias" where we tend not to believe that significant disruption will occur, until it does. Sort of how like people are happy to live in California despite warnings of a coming "big one", because there hasn't been one in a long time. Similarly, a majority of people in Oklahoma don't have storm shelters, send their kids to schools without storm shelters (virtually all schools) despite almost annual tornado landings. In Oklahoma it is because, sure, there are tornadoes but most likely, they won't hit you. I believe we behave this way because a large part of our behavior stems from the ancient parts of our brains and they aren't so good a planning for abstractions. We are much better at immediate events because that is how we managed to get here, by running really fast from lions and other danger.

I think he means he is a One Percenter like the burly guys riding Harleys, not like the ones that have hoarded the most resources. Those One Percenters are probably not up at 9AM either though, so either way he's lying.

It flies effectively but once it hits the ground it moves much like Agrajag did and that is not very gracefully. It also cannot take off again unless picked up and given a throw, I think that the bat that inspired it does not need a human to come by and throw it each time it needs to fly. I guess the use case is that it does a flight mission, lands, then crawls to a hiding spot and dies there while it uploads its data store and waits to be picked up.

That would be epic. I would love to see those debates on youtube

Uh, Ahmadinejad was elected, you're not liking his administration's or country's policies doesn't make him a dictator. Out of curiosity do you watch Fox News for something other than a blood pressure boost or comedy relief?

Did you mean to say "Faith can ignore logic"? Because that is what you just gave an example of.

yeah! and lets pump all the byproducts from all unregulated coal plants and mines into your house.

If you want to learn how to die young, get nutritional advice from bodybuilders. There is a saying in the bodybuilding community: “Live fast. Die young. Be a beautiful corpse.”

That's probably why he posted AC. Wouldn't really want the post tracking back to his job as a paid shill.

Easy solution: don't microwave food. Make your own food, from scratch, use pots and pans to warm it up.

Yeah, like a completely screwed metabolism from your meds. Your non-normal history makes your anecdote useless even as an anecdote.

Maybe so, but, it also shows that the standard dietary guidelines are complete garbage doesn't it? I also thought that they probably didn't restrict carbs enough for the high fat diet but I didn't RTFA so I am merely guessing.

What was the point of starving your body of water? Were you suffering from edema?

Based on your statement, it seems that the normal levels of fat are too high (for weight loss) when coupled with normal/elevated levels of carbs. Seems then that higher levels of fat coupled with lower levels of carbs are better for losing weight (and by extension maintaining weight). Isn't that what the study shows? Why is it that you feel the study does not provide much useful information?
