That's fine, but at least be honest about who you're benefiting. If you want to write a message because it makes you feel good, go for it and be happy. If you are doing so because you think it's helping someone else on the other hand, i

I don't know if this was the point of the post you responded to, and I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but apart from the donations I'll admit that I don't really understand the point. Maybe it's just cynicism on my part, but it seems l

I was not disagreeing that fiber is important, only pointing out that even when eliminating any other considerations the difference in quantity is enough to account for the trend.

FAO data shows US per capita consumption of sugar (raw equivalent) at 67 kg (approx. 148 lbs) as of 2007. I can't speak to the accuracy of the data, though, or how much of that consumption directly corresponds to diet. http://faostat.fao.

Wheat germ is removed from white flour in order to increase shelf-life and rising ability, which removes useful fatty-acids, oils and nutrients as well as fiber and protein. Whole-wheat flour is flour that has not had the germ removed.

In other words, if your business operates a monopoly granted by the state, you DO have a special set of legal, moral, and ethical obligations that don't apply to less privileged organizations. If there were such obligations, they would be

It's more like walking into a store that has a tiny book on the floor inside the door that, if you open and read it, tells you that by having already entered the store you've agreed to be prohibited from telling anybody about anything you

It's only reasonable if that $10M actually buys you something more valuable than what you get for $2M, even by 1% as you state. I think many of us are questioning whether that could possibly be the case. I'm genuinely interested in hearing

The case of shouting "fire" in a crowded theater can be handled similarly: Customers agree not to do that sort of thing as a condition of being allowed into the theater, and if they break that, then they are guilty of trespass. Not that I
