Food is wayyyy better in America than Europe, are you kidding? Why do you think we're so fat?

Meanwhile, tracking consumption involves error bars that span a factor of 2. Go figure out how many calories are in an avocado. Is that per gram figure amortized for the weight of the pit, or is this just for the flesh? Counting calories

I don't think you would know a well researched paper if it bit you. Legal cases are only evidence that there is money to be made in litigation.

1 in 400 US citizens is diagnosed with parkinsons, if by "thousands", this headline means 5000, then 1 in 2000 US farmers has Parkinson's. Stop it.

This seems like an object lesson in making sure that the right hand does not know what the left is doing. Yes, if you have two departments working on two mutually exclusive architectures, one of them will necessarily fail. In exchange, howe
