I drink two cups of caffeinated coffee every morning. My working assumption, based on this post, is that this will have saved me from my lost decade of hedonistic alcohol and drug abuse. Maybe I'll up it to three cups.

Yes, but every last bit of it will be held until the money is big enough and then they'll get it all, right back to the beginning. The company's no longer pretending to be altruistic.

I know you're going to be a trillionaire soon, but damn. Your projections started out grandiose, but now they're just humorous. You blew past unreasonable so quickly we didn't even notice it.

I guess the question is, "Who is the 'we' in the title?" The "prevailing wisdom" is almost universally not to be trusted. As you pointed out, 10,000 was a 60s Japanese marketing promo. If it's the same universal "we" that flits from superfood to superfood and couldn't define inflammation past it being the thing turmeric fixes, then, sure. "We've" been thinking about it wrong, just like we think wrong about most things.

But if the "we" is actually the people studying these things in earnest, well... We"ve been thinking wrong about exercise in the same way that Newton was thinking wrong about gravity. Wrong in the most definitive, all inclusive sense, but really, really right in general. Especially since health is so much more muddy than gravity.

I agree that the actual point is a good one. Doing something is better than doing nothing, and every little bit helps. You're correct across the board.

My objection is to the characterization at the top. "Have we been thinking about exercise wrong for half a century?" It's another form of click bait.

He described some comparative benefits. You chose to disregard them and project. You assigned him viewpoints you have reason to infer.

We don't really know that much about what he thinks, but the pedestal you placed yourself on in the last sentence is on full view.

Nope. He was not directly invited. But that in no way impedes his ability to destroy everything he touches.

400g a day of fruits and vegetables is out of touch? Good god. And the hope for flickers ever more dimly...

It's ludicrous to suggest we've been thinking about it wrong. The standard wisdom about exercise has been healthy and beneficial. Lots of exercise is great for you. A little is perhaps better than we thought, that's all.

Lazy writing. Just a hair better than "scientists baffled!".

...when candidate Trump promised to make cryptocurrency "one of the greatest industries on earth."

That's why.

There's nothing I'm doing in a hotel room that wouldn't solicit a reaction more intense than, "Ho hum... NEXT!"

Depends on the app I suppose. But it's certainly going to be less distracting than having to use a touch UI. I don't really see how putting finer grain control into speech downgrades safety.

So the vast majority of it is clear, but a couple things seem ambiguous? That's pretty successful for something this fuzzy.

So milk is group one regardless of the difference. Pasta is group one because the drying preparation is accomplished without adding to or changing its composition. But pasta wet in a can with added ingredients for stabilization - pasta "dishes" rather than just pasta - are group IV. That extra word does the heavy lifting. Dry spaghetti, group I. Spaghetti-o's, group IV.

Boiling alone doesn't land a canned vegetable in group III. In context, you see that it's the addition of more salt, sugar, or fat that is needed. Context is everything.

Sure, you can nitpick the grey areas, but you're getting away from the basic question. Is it a decent attempt to codify and lend basic guidance to the dizzying array of food preparations? Sure it is. If you were trying to argue specificity in a court trial, it wouldn't be enough. But that's not what it's for.

2019 Camry Hybrid. I got in exactly at the right time. No subscriptions, modern everything, no continually warning me not to pirate music, CarPlay supported. Nice screen. Physical controls for everything that should be knobs, dials, and sliders. It's just quietly good at being a great car. 7 years and 100k km later, not a single failure of any kind.

I have owned only brand new cars since 1994 - and I'm done. When the time comes, I'll be shopping for a throwback. I am opting out. Cars are far too expensive now, and I will never pay for a subscription to anything.

For your specific comparison of sugar, oils, and fats, when read in context it's pretty clear what is meant.

Group II of these are derived in a single step. Olives to olive oil. Milk to butter. Cane sugar to rock sugar. Group IV require further processing. White sugar, hydrogenated oils, etc.. these things are not direct derivations. They require additional processing.
