Just wait until Ma and Pa Kettle get their SS cut because there are not enough taxpayers paying in and Congress responds with "Huh? Is no my yob, mon!". Immigration will then start looking better, except for the Christian Right who will declare any new immigrants as Agents of Beelzebub.

Don't forget, we're a Goddamn Christian nation and reserve the right to rewrite Jesus' teaching at will. St. Paul already showed it could be done.

What about "but with so much of the world already living on the brink of nutrient insufficiency, a drop of just a few percentage points has the potential to push millions of additional people into a health crisis. "

can you fail to understand? Your tomato and strawberry anecdote is just that, an anecdote. Only an American would think your example was telling: after all, if it happens in America, it must be happening everywhere with the same proportionate consequences. And how do you know that taste indicates nourishment potential. What kind of *science* degree do you have that makes you believe such a thing?

And the article precis never claimed it was the primary reason people were undernourished, just the decreasing their nourishment is bad thing.

"Sometimes, you do have to practice the boring stuff, like math."

There's the problem right there. Math is being treated as boring, and kids certainly pick up on that. Math is not boring. If kids get can get their jollies by playing games, they can get their jollies by "playing" math as well. Math requires exploring an abstract space, just like games. Maybe we need math games with lots of whizzy things that MBAs can see and think we wants more of that, whatever it is. The games have to be serious about allowing students to explore the landscape behind math problems.

Nobody cares? How about we poll the victims and ask them if they still care? Maybe it is okay for you to have rich folks preying on little girls with no repercussions but to families with little girls it is a very big deal. Allowing it to go unpunished just promotes the perps to do more of it and against any women, they have no worries with this alleged Justice Dept. and a serial female abuser in the WH.
