Since most people eat too much sugar (the average American eats 20 teaspoons of added sugar each day), and only about 5% of the population is vegetarian this seems common sense to me.

What if I told you, in the US, the opposite is true? That, on average, people ate more meat in 1830 Then I would ask you what your sources are. If people aren't eating meat, what are they eating? grains? sugars? Vegetables, fruits, le

Totally agree with you that it makes a lot of sense for this kind of startup to focus on one country/region first. I do wish that startups would at least mention somewhere that they are aware of this. Something like "Sorry, US only for now"

Don't forget your teeth. Dental health is correlated with general health, and some dental problems are not reversible (I have severe erosion because I used to drink soft drinks all day). Apart from diligent tooth brushing (give the inside o

I don't know the laws in other countries, but where I live there is a database-law that explicitly gives the owner of a database rights. For example: you cannot simply copy the phonebook and put it on the web, it doesn't matter if you use o

Pressure to perform is not the biggest problem. Peer pressure is much worse. This child committed suicide after her classmates voted for her suspension.

First you said "they paid". When this was questioned, you said that people wondered how much they paid, not if they paid. And now you say that it doesn't matter if they paid?

Ah, where I live it is illegal to work more than 50/hrs a week (on average) in those kind of jobs, so my info is not based on those statistics.

That being said, at least in the US, employment is at-will, and companies can fire you for pretty much any reason. This is not the case in the Netherlands (where the OP is). Employees are fairly well protected here, apart from the first m

If it is not in your contract there is no way they can dictate what you do in your own time. Even non-compete clauses are often dismissed in court (in the Netherlands) because they are overly restrictive for the employee. See for example h

Well, it does matches my experience. When I had relatively simple jobs like working behind a bar, there was no inequality, but in IT there was. Sometimes it was disguised. Men who did the exact same work as women had a different title, so t

The thing is that that already assumes way too much about how people two million (!) years ago lived. Already there are lots of differences between modern hunter-gatherer societies, so why assume that one of these ways was the way we are "e

The article is about a small group of elite long distance runners. I don't think you can draw any meaningful conclusions about your short morning runs here. And it is worth noting that this is a blog post about an article about a study. The

It was striking on a recent visit to Canada, that nothing in the shops, even cereal appeared to include HFCS as an ingredient. But still, Canada also faces an obesity epidemic.

I agree. If you genuinely feel that your product is worth the $80/month and that your customer will feel the same way, why not send them a reminder a few days before the trial stops to let them know? Maybe give them a freebie if they contin

That's why they made the book with summaries, so you can read the summaries and decide which books you want to read in full.

You are right, that was put too strongly. "Make some effort to allow the seller to make it right" is what I should have said.

I don't agree with that at all. In fact, I think the opposite is true: as parents we should trust our intuition with our kids much more, instead of what "experts" and other people say is best for them. A great book about parenthood (if you
