We're illiterate charter school graduates.

The HP you remember doesn't really exist anymore.

It's weird, I didn't see Antonio Neri listed as attending any of Trump's fundraising luncheons.

It's a backhanded gift. Your cat thinks you're in incompetent hunter and is trying to help you because he/she feels sorry for you.

They've seen the obesity epidemic in America and are concerned we eat too much red meat and carbs.
They're like: Try having a fish once in a while, fatso. Any maybe you'll stop dumping garbage in our ocean if you have to eat out of it too.

You think we all meet up and plan this stuff out and work in lock step? That climate science is all done in one building where we everyone sees each other everyday and attends the same meetings?

The messy reality is that there has been a flood of papers on the subject for 50 years from wide range of people and various disciplines. What you generally hear is only the bits and pieces that the media passes along to the public. Scientists that are neck deep in their actual subject are constantly trying to work out how to communicate their own research to each other. And a handful of them actively working out how to communicate those results to the public.

Just because Al Gore is a hypocrite doesn't invalid climate science. There are people who practice what they preach, and get ridiculed for that too. So damned if you do and damned if you don't.

We still have problems modeling cloud cover.
And we have revise the models to make them more accurate or at least better describe the error bars.

What climate deniers fail to grasp is that not knowing the complete answer is not the same as knowing nothing. Science has always been an incremental approach.

The crappy journalism off it irks me.

I like to imagine of the old movie trailer voice over saying it: "In a world ..."

You fellows get so excited whenever we have to revise the science around climate change.

I'm genuinely curious, do you believe we'll one day revise it out of existence? If that's your hope, I'm going to have to burst your bubble right now...

Managing our emotions about a scumbag boss was simple. Just call him up at home, ideally while you're drunk. If he doesn't pick up, at least leave an expletive laden message on his answering machine.

But that was back when C-suite didn't make 200 times the salary of the folks doing the work on the ground floor.

I propose a system of color-coded tin foil hats.

Genetics and luck are bigger factors than diet. But diet is statistically meaningful and something that we can control. So you'd be an idiot to ignore your diet.

If food has been changed from its natural state, then it is processed. Bake an apple pie, that's processed. You cooked the apples with added sugar and spices, perhaps in a crust made of flour and shortening.

Minimally processed would be like if you bought some shelled raw almonds. It's not completely original, but it's processed in a way that added no additional ingredients.

A classic example of processed food would be canned sardines. They have added oil and salt and are cooked in their can. They are not necessarily devoid of nutrition, but you as the consumer don't have a lot of control over their preparation and ingredients. You're buying them as a package deal.

Processed meats, is a whole other category beyond simply being a processed food. And the term can have a very specific meaning. For this context of this article, assume that processed meat being meat that is transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation.

Ultra-processed food is a new category. It's a little harder to pin down because part of the definition is the intent to create food produces through intensive manufacturing processes. A signature trait of ultra-processed foods are ingredients that are taken from other foods. Generally purified at a chemical level such as lactose, modified food starch, casein, whey, hydrogenated oils, protein isolate, maltodextrin, invert sugar, or high-fructose corn syrup.

This reminds me of an episode of The Whitest Kids U' Know. In the skit was a chubby fellow that kept lying to his doctor about how many hot dogs he eats a day. (not actually that funny of a show - just relevant)

A New Jersey Italian hogie gets you 3 or 4 meats in one bite
