Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

I’m sorry what

scientific claim of the form “X causes Y” have the burden of proof, not “X does not cause Y,” for the obvious reason that non-causes of Y vastly outnumber causes, particularly proximate ones “I left bread in the toaster too long, causing it to burn” versus every other explanation (mermaids, voodoo)

if you think something being "natural" or "plant-based" makes it healthy and something being made in a lab and loaded into a syringe is inherently dangerous, you're an idiot. you should lose access to your kids if you harm them due to this belief www.propublica.org/article/more...
