The gentoo way is that you should already know...

Of course, you should already know that ;)

You gonna fire cruise missiles at his ass, and take out all the innocent people at the surrounding tables?

This is absolutely the most accurate post in this thread.

It boils down to calories, if yoour body gets more calories than it needs and/or it gets calories faster than it needs then it has to do something with them.

It stores them for later. As fat.

"processed" food lets both these things happen.

"unprocessed" food mitigates this.

There's that whole thing about cooking food allowing us to evolve because it meant we could eat more, get more nutrients etc well this is just taking that one step further. Not only do we cook it, but we refine it so that its easy to get a several thousand calorie surplus every day, and still go back for more. The super obese are great case studies in this, and a testemant to the efficiency of the human body in dealing with whatever we throw at it!

When you disregard the entire thesis because you don't like one of the things the person said. Does that make your counter argument credible?

Seriously there is a massive body of scientific evidence that implicates refined sugars as being a significant factor in things like obesity and metabolic syndrome.

The body is complicated, and figuring out what is good for people is hard. Further complicated by the fact that it doesn't necessarily correspond with what is profitable.

Here is a another thing you might not like for its 'sensationalist' nature, but its worth considering: Sugar acts like a drug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_addiction

It's an elaborate double bluff. Satoshi is the US govt/Fed/IMF or some similar consortium of 'money controller', who are quite aware that the current monetary system is out of control.

They have built bitcoin, they own a controlling amount (or are in the process of buying it... they have infinite money to do so). Over time they will engineer themselves into a position of owning a controlling amount of the network (having infinite money to devote to a data-centre or two of miners).

The endgame is that they are going to be processing most blocks and therefore collecting the bulk of transaction fees. The protocol allows the finder of a block to choose which transactions to include, meaning they can effectively block transactions that don't pay sufficient fees.

Then we are back in exactly the same situation as now, except there is no actual cash that people might transact off the books. The USD becomes the black market currency. The majority of the new BTC wealth in the hands of the few, and everyone else paying tax for the privilege of transferring money.

Carerful what you wish for :)

Trying to 'fix' the situation is unlikely to work.

A better strategy is accepting there will be failure, and building systems to cope.

A great example of this, quite fittingly, is the internet itself.

Accept that governments will work most of the time, understand they will fail some of the time. Keep your eyes open. Try and be cool. We are all in it together, despite the example set by some.
