Isn't the primary goal of a Bachelor's degree to make someone a well-adjusted individual that can craft a reasonable world view?

>Is it really a choice when 75% of all food found in the supermarket has been spiked with sugar and 88% of the US population is suffering from metabolic issues? And sugar has been linked to a host of degenerative neurological conditions.

Agreed. The anti-sodium crowd has done some real damage to nutritional education IMO. People who train intensely wind up with a sodium deficiency due to this propaganda. You can welcome 6-10g/day into your diet if you just sweat throug

[Environmental contamination] is way less of an explanatory variable of obesity and mental health than [dietary choice and activity level]. Its effect resides in the error term.

Desktop: bookmark Phone: URL shortcut icon on home screen Both are fine. I can't imagine an app would provide much more value, especially with the privacy cost.

Hmm. If I'm imagining this correctly, then could the user obtain this data via checkout - through some shared database with the supermarket? And I agree about the pain point. It is part of what got me interested in this a while back. I

This is something I'm interested in doing. Computer vision analysis of at-home food stock -> personalized shopping and recipes -> partner with grocery chains to reduce shopping times and optimize inventories. There are many other

Are you saying that intermittent pollinator gardens don't serve to bolster the ecological network? Because that would be wrong. Every bit helps and even small gardens have a large impact.

This is accurate, yet most people read one headline or listen to a glib podcast and think they know all the answers. Colony collapse is real but there are numerous theories around why. https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2023

What I gather from the comments is that perhaps Amazon is facing a goodwill issue and their advertising budget is a function of that. What is the play here? Should Amazon focus on quality goods from quality suppliers in order to rebuild bra

Are you referring to being less of a burden on healthcare systems, more productive in physical jobs which maintain our critical infrastructures, and having more energy to take part in community building events?

I don't believe there is a specific cause because there will always be several, measurable, causal factors. But if are going to zoom way out and pick one thing, it's body weight. Increased physical activity is going to increase fr

Sure it is. All health outcomes are made up of many causal components with their own coefficient. Additionally, "physically demanding work" is also a proxy for "low probability of obesity".

In addition to stimulating higher Test, I would go ahead and guess that the cohort had more lean body mass and few overweight individuals. All together, these things make an large difference in male fertility. Body weight and activity level

It's a very normal breakfast for athletes. But your example isn't our current reality so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. To borrow a saying from the investment world - It's easy to double a small numb

> I.. they’re not, but please share where you’re living globally where this is true, because omw! Go look at % of income spent on food over time. In the US, that number is currently 7-15% - an incredible feat and underlooked luxury.

Yea seriously. The price increase is inconvenient, but hardly relevant in terms of calories/$. I eat 5-6 eggs each morning with some potatoes (my blood work is great btw, so take it easy armchair dietitians). Dietary cholesterol isn&#x

That is 100% the determining factor in yolk color. It comes down to carotenoid content of feed. Also, in reference to the original comment, there is no difference between GMO and non-GMO feed either. Some may claim that high carotenoid feed

In what way? That's an interesting idea, but I can't think of how that would help. It's a balance between economies of scale without cartel formation vs fragmentation and inefficiency. Food prices are incredibly low due to co

The real use and value of a patent (or any IP mechanism) is during litigation. It's easy to say "just end patents" until two parties are in court and have nothing to form arguments around.

It's tricky because you can be well informed without being biased. In the case of glyphosate, it just so happens that being well informed comes off as shilling because the genpop conjecture is void of nuance

Sure is lovely when a bunch of non-experts decide to chime in on a nuanced subject. Imagine a bunch of plant biologists congregated on a discussion board to make sweeping claims about SaaS or whatever your area of expertise is. Hilarious. E

No kidding, and furthermore it's as if they don't take a second to consider scalability, yield, commodity-market efficiency, and labor-force.

correlation =/= causation. But it does hint toward a potential linkage, which is our food system. The areas you are thinking about are also: food deserts, low-income, and low education levels. All of which are stronger predictors of ob
