This reminds me a lot of the phenomenon of Pop-up Restaurants[1]; your site is very much like a booking interface for pop-ups. Good luck, I love the concept. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_restaurant

The Dove commercial is hardly a 'study,' I'm quite sure they determined the outcome before filming.

Florida's Natural (a national orange juice brand in the US) is also organized as a grower's cooperative, which is similar but not identical to consumer coops like REI.

That is a ridiculously large amount to be spending on groceries, even if you eat every meal at home. For comparison, I think I eat quite well and I spend well under $300/month (my goal is $50/week). A lot of this depends on your area, but I

Perhaps a better way to state it is that most people find it quite significantly easier to lose weight by reducing caloric intake by a given amount as opposed to increasing physical activity by the proportionate amount.

Because our instincts were developed over thousands of years to deal with circumstances of constant scarcity. We don't live in that world anymore.

This is not a universal truth -- I was raised vegetarian and began eating red meat in college; I never had an adjustment period. In fact, I suspect the incidence of this is greatly overstated and largely psychological.

I couldn't help but giggle at your choices - onions are not particularly healthy as far as vegetables go (better than potatoes, not as good as nearly any other veg) and mushrooms aren't vegetables. That said, I'm all for eating more vegetab

I'm a bit confused by your statement; are you saying you trust your own experience (sample size: 1) over any published science? That seems fundamentally flawed.

I think it's a natural reaction when your opinion on a subject shifts drastically towards the negative; when you've 'grown out of' an opinion it seems silly that anyone else could still hold it afterwards.

As long as they only suppress demand enough to lower the price and not prevent development, I say let them complain.

As an LA motorcyclist, I can tell you that almost no one would want to bike 10-15 ft. from the edge of the freeway. It's extremely loud and unpleasant, and there's a significant amount of debris that would need frequent removal.

I think a large part of its draw on this site is that he's packaged the ideas from the 'hacker' perspective. It's an interesting thought experiment to think of other slightly dated but mainstream activities could do with a similar treatment
