Terrible Nutrition Advice
More of the usual nonsense:
The study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that at the 34 fast-food chains they analyzed, the average combo meal contains 1,193 calories, and that the quantities of sodium, saturated fat and sugar are through the roof.
But all a person has to do is hold the dipping sauce; remove toppings, such as cheese; and opt for water over soda — and you’ll be good as gravy, says lead author Kelsey Vercammen of Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health in an interview with Reuters Health.
The problem with fast food is not calories, or saturated fat, or sodium. It’s the bun and the potatoes. The only good advice here is water instead of soda.

No, America did not invent it.
Such is the state of our educational system.
Brexit And Trump
How I learned to stop worrying about the first, and love the other.
The left seems determined to push us into Trump’s and BoJo’s arms.
Keto Cooking Problems
I wanted to make some salmon croquettes with some leftover king salmon, but all the keto recipes recommend substituting almond flour for the bread crumbs. Problem: I’m allergic to nuts, including almonds.

OK, here’s another option, which would be fine, except I don’t have any on hand: pork rind crumbs.
