Also, giving a child a double portion of food pretty much guarantees that child will be eating a less balanced lunch, because she'll only eat the favourite bits. So a double portion of meat and no vegetables, for example.

Not that that's technically bad. As long as there's nothing actively unhealthy in it (nuggets might apply), the school lunch is only a small part of the child's diet. No veggies at school is not a problem as long as it gets veggies for dinner.

Exactly. Fat is important. If you're worried about weight, cut back on sugars.

Not so long ago, my son (now almost 3) preferred food that was green. We got him to eat pancakes by putting spinach in it. We often give him peas because he loves those and doesn't eat the stuff we actually want him to eat. Sprouts are a bit harder but not a huge problem. Not so long ago he didn't like fries or other potato products, but that's fortunately over now. He only eats meat that's sausage shaped.

I think bananas are more vitamin B than C.

I suspect the lunch needed more vegetables. Like pizza or something.

Did you know Guy Fawkes fought in the Spanish army during the Dutch revolution against Spanish oppression? He wasn't an anarchist, he was closer to the fascists that the guy in V for Vendetta fought.

But it's a cool mask, so who cares about history?

Perhaps we need an Inciteful mod.

Their point is actually that industries and companies only adopt the really aggressive anti-competitive behaviour once they've peaked. Considering the smartphone patent war, I'm not entirely sure that's correct, though.

But are there working portable fuel cells already? This patent suggests Apple has developed the first one. If they have, it's a valid patent. Of course if they're just trying to patent an idea instead of actual technology, then it shouldn't be allowed (but probably will anyway).

Did they seed it with early hominids? If you want to explain our relationship with earth's other life, they have to have seeded it with entire ecosystems including early hominids. Unless we're the original source of that life (meaning aliens aren't related to other life on their planet), which brings us to the Traveller setting.

If they only seeded it with prokaryotes, then it doesn't explain fertility between humans, Vulcans and Klingons in any way. (Why do they get capitals and we don't?)
