This is a cool idea! My contribution to anti-surveillance trolling is setting the subject of all encrypted mail to, "Your heroin order has shipped."

On a slight tangent - if you enjoyed this article, you'll probably like http://www.pushing-pixels.org , which has many interviews with designers of TV screen graphics and fantasy user interfaces.

I am intrigued - what is the argument to be made for a pro-fat, pro-meat diet?

Not quite, I'm referring to https://www.torproject.org/docs/pluggable-transports.html My favorites are obfs4 and StegoTorus, running on a private machine in some "cloud".

The first two studies were done by the same author from the same "McMaster University" and were directly funded by dairy lobbying boards, whereas the third study was funded by the US Dairy Research Institute - not exactly fair and

I'm sorry, but I really think you are just trolling and I won't have any of it. You see, veganism is based on scientific fact and nutritional research, not conjured beliefs. If you have reason to think there is significant scienti

A potato is not a french fry, sugar cane is not sucrose syrup, nor are olives equal to olive oil. This is why I keep saying, whole plant-based foods, i.e., unprocessed and unrefined ones.

I don't have a financial incentive to promote healthy food, whereas the studies I've criticized do have a serious conflict of interest. It isn't difficult to see the difference.

If you're concerned with the metabolization of shorter chain omega-3’s found in flaxseeds, you can take an algae-based DHA supplement and still avoid toxic industrial pollutants found in fish oil. Still, flaxseed is amazing stuff.

That's why I've said "plant-based vegan diet" and not "vegan diet of french fries topped with sugar and olive oil". Please post the actual numbers, as "nominal" levels in a society where it is normal

Many of the studies referenced on that site are funded or carried out by egg lobbying groups. One study literally compares eggs' effects on cholesterol levels compared to a diet of sausage and cheese. It's important to be critical

How are you determining it to be "significantly better from a health perspective"? What is your blood pressure? How do you know you don't have elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol serum? What are you eating in a high

You can get both essential ω-3 and ω-6 short chain polyunsaturated fatty acids from flaxseed, without the baggage of eggs (high cholesterol) and fish oil (high levels of persistent organic pollutants).

What you're saying is scientifically untenable. For one, dietary fiber is not a macronutrient, so including that in your ratio is just incorrect. Secondly, carbohydrates are the preferred source of energy for your brain and body - the

It's also a great source of saturated fat and cholesterol. Besides, fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes have all the protein and nutrients you need, so why filter them through an animal's body?

That liver article is really a stretch. The two studies I've found which reference it simply say consumption of liver or vitamin A supplements should be limited to avoid excess exposure to retinol, although may be used as a last resort

Interesting, thank you for sharing. However neither of those references support the claim any meat consumption is beneficial or healthy. May I recommend checking out the work by Dr. Michael Greger on http://nutritionfacts.org ? U

I'm skeptical of your claim that consumption of meats in any amount could lead to improvement in health. Could you share any resources which support this theory?

A simple test for the quality of produce can be done with a refractometer, or a so-called Brix meter.
