Maybe I wasn't clear, but I was asking for a source regarding the claim that air pollution affects humans more than the food they consume (specifically based on location). That website is just some data of current air pollution.

I don't know if you came from an extremely privileged background, but I find it ridiculous that your minimum standard of a comfortable living starts at over double the median household income for that area.

Is this a joke? $350k annual income puts you in the top 1% of earners in the US. Surely you don't believe less than 1% of people in the US can live comfortably and have a safety net, do you?

CakePHP does the same routing by naming convention, and I can't stand it. Forcing you to name your functions based on the url is horribly inflexible and has bit me in the ass before. There are sloppy ways around it such as modifying .h
