Those Naked drinks are expensive too. Crooks!

These companies know its easy to fleece women and homos.

 

Don't forget vegetarians.

i love stuff like this.

banks do it all the time.

 

break the rules, make hundreds of millions if not billions.

because you know when you get caught you'll only have to shell out pennies (in this case a measly $9m).

what a scam.

Funny how people pay mega $$$ more for organic fruits and vegetables.

 

I think it's the same bunch terrified of dying because dihydrogen monoxide is in their food.

Last night I was at Trader Joe's and asked if they carry sugar, they pointed me to bags of "Evaporated Cane Juice" which they were selling for 3.49. I knew what it was, and also knew that I could buy the same amount of C&H for about a quarter.

Didn't think that story would be so relevant so quickly.

Given enough time and scientific research there will be evidence someday to show that ALL foods, supplements, activities, lifestyle choices, and products we use are harmful to our health.  Every single one of them.

 

Human lifespan has been increasing for about a hundred years, long long before organic foods became popular.

If you eat something that is boring and bland then you know that you have an "all natural" product.

Well they are giving the test subjects way more than humans would ever consume (hopefully), and rats are prone to tumors even without being tested on so who's to say what really gives them the tumors.

When discussing things like this I always think back to the Joe Jackson song "Cancer". His point is that we are warned about pretty much everything.

 

Everything gives you cancer, everything

Everything, there's no answer, everything

Lewis Black has a great skit from one of his early albums on it as well.  Talking about how when he was a kid eggs were good for you then they were bad, then just the whites were good, etc.

It's not a tumah!  It's not!

That's what McDonald's simply refers to as a "Heavy User". I really wish I was making this up.

For those of you completely in the dark about my earlier musical reference, this is what I am talking about. One of my all time favorite musicians.

the studies they've done are pretty complete wrt cause/effect.

 

when they have a group A that receives amount, and group B that receives about Y, and over time group B shows increased growth of cancer cells while group A stays flat-lined.

then the drop group B down to group A's level, and the cancer growth diminishes back down.

and they increase group B back up to Y, and the cancer cell growth happens again.

you keep doing that and the results keep happening then it's pretty clear what is giving them the tumors.

 

that science is tough though. but there's a pretty clear connection between western diet and cancer/illness/etc that isnt present in non-western diets from my understanding.

 

but uh.. mmm brownies.

American diets in particular. Since our fast food chains have started making inroads in Western Europe, their obesity rates have started climbing as have a lot of other related health problems. It has gotten to the point that convenience trumps nutrition, and therein lies the main problem, IMO.

I think the "convenience" problem has deep psychological roots unrelated to food.

 

Americans spend copious amounts of their income on the latest expensive technology they don't need, the trendiest clothing or automobiles, or the most luxurious vacations and entertainment options. They have less money to purchase healthier food, less time to prepare it at home, less time to shop for it at the grocery store, and less time to exercise -- all because they're scrambling to work enough hours to pay for their expensive lifestyle choices.

There will always be 3 groups: a positive control, a negative control, and the sample being tested.

I'm against digging up 10 year old threads. For Christ sake, @The Ghost of Bob Starr, get caught up on the threads you haven't read but start with 2023, please.

Working my way front to back Eric.  I happen to like the older content.  I felt the members were a tad more sophisticated in the earlier years.

The volume of hilarious things I've said that were lost in the Cals Purge of 2020 is massive.  Very sad.

That was before Blarg drove all the users off this board.
