never produced any net energy gain - they were just after the isotope production, right?
No shit, Sherlock!
Who said anything about energy production? It is kind of obvious, given that fusion power plants don't exist.
Sorry, bad source. Here's a better one from NIH: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/a... This one clearly identifies burgers as the same processing category (ultra-processed) as hot dogs.
A lot of science is sloppy. They even use the slang "burger" for hamburger, which is not a good sign. It probably should not be taken too seriously - none of this is "real science" with experiments and controls. Chicken nuggets and fish fingers also vary in quality - some are whole pieces of meat, cut and crumbed. Others more sausage like.
sites classify hamburger as ultra-processed. https://educhange.com/wp-conte...
Did you mis-read that? The only mention of hamburger was hamburger buns as ultra-processed. A true hamburger itself should be just ground fresh beef and a little salt, which is "minimally processed". Compare to bacon, "processed", and hot dog frankfurter as "ultra processed" .
An American fast-food hamburger sandwich would count as ultra-processed due to the bun (not bread), yellow slices (not cheese) and sauce. Not because of the beef. https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/e...
Yeah "processed" is pretty vague, in general. Technically, processing is anything you do when you follow a recipe. But the specific foods covered by this study, were hamburgers and hot dogs.
Really??? Where did you get all that from?
The linked Nature article is about a meta-study, and does not seem to define the terms. So I clicked through to one of the original studies.
For unprocessed red meat consumption, the FFQ included questions on “beef or lamb as main dish,” “pork as main dish,” “hamburger,” and “beef, pork, or lamb as a sandwich or mixed dish.” For processed red meat, there were questions on “bacon,” “beef or pork hot dogs,” “salami, bologna, or other processed meat sandwiches,” and “other processed red meats such as sausage, kielbasa, etc.”
So you can clearly see hamburger is an example of unprocessed meat, while hotdog is processed.
Who eats a hot dog every day?
Probably the sort of person who eats lots of junk food, little fruit & veg or fibre, maybe smokes, is obese, and doesn't wear a seat-belt.
Even if the hotdog itself was safe, it is "linked to" poor health in this type of observational study.
I hate to say this outloud, but my respect for Rand Paul went up a little bit.
I, personally (no knock against anyone else for feeling differently), don't respect him anymore than I did before, but I do acknowledge when politicians that I don't hold in high regard (for lack of less family-friendly terms to use) actually do the right thing, because I do respect that in someone, even if I don't respect anything else they've done or represent otherwise.
For example, I still don't think Mike Pence is a particularly good person in general (he jumped onto the Trump train, and was a willing participant to the GOP train wreck), but respectfully acknowledge and he did the right thing in not following through with Trump's plan to nullify the election results.
I don't like it. They leach off our gravity.

No comet is illegal! Make Earth a Sanctuary planet. Life was made possible by comets.
Are you referring to the lawsuit where they pledged not to consider finances in the admission process then did it anyway?
No, I understood "legacy applicant" refers to the children of past students. And they get priority access, not having to earn their own way.
Call it nepotism, or preserving privileged, it seems wrong.
The finances thing is trickier, where they would prefer people who can pay. The cost of education in the US is insane, and a massive barrier to equality or meritocracy. But is there any reason to tie that to "legacy".
If you didn't have to work so hard, you'd have more time to be depressed.
