…seems to be pretty pointless.

The STEM Shortage
It’s a myth.
I agree. The problem isn’t a shortage of workers in that field. But innumeracy and scientific illiteracy is a big problem in our society, particularly among the voters. And that includes the illiteracy of those who mindlessly accept a lot of bogus nutrition and climate “science.”
Saturated Fat
Even the New York Times is reporting on how we’ve been sold a dietary bill of goods for decades.
Now, if they could stop with the nonsense about counting calories, BMI, and eating whole grains.
Microbes And Metabolites
An interesting new approach to understanding and curing aging.
Faster, please.
Income Inequality
Democrats are making it worse. Of course, as with racism, unemployment, poverty, education, health care, etc., that’s true about almost everything that they complain about.
Nancy Pelosi
I hope she remains this delusional right through the first Tuesday of November.
“I think the Republicans are wasting their time using that as their electoral issue, and they will find that out,” she said.
Pressed by a reporter whether Democrats should shy away from the issue on the campaign trail, Pelosi didn’t hesitate.
“No, absolutely not,” she said.
Pelosi has long argued that the healthcare law will become increasingly popular as more people recognize the benefits.
She’ll probably argue it to her grave, hopefully at least her political one.
Gonorrhea
…is on the verge of being untreatable.
Wonderful.
The New Federal Dietary Guidelines
…are being written by vegetarian junk scientists:
“After 30 years of waiting, the fact that this committee is addressing sustainability issues brings me a lot of pleasure,” she began. Clancy went on to advocate that Americans should become vegetarians in order to achieve sustainability in the face of “climate change.”
“What pattern of eating best contributes to food security and the sustainability of land air and water?” Clancy asked. “The simple answer is a plant-based diet.”
“Now, this is not new, this idea of how important plant-based diets are has been around for, gosh, 30-40 years,” she said. “Before that for people who long ago were eating vegetarian.”
Clancy said plant-based diets lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and have a “smaller ecological impact” on “drought, climate change, soil erosion, pesticides and antibiotics in water supplies.”
There is zero scientific evidence of cardiovascular disease being caused by eating animals, per se (though corn-fed beef and chicken might be problematic due to omega 6).
Government Nutrition Advice
Here’s a novel concept. A White House petition demanding that it actually be based on science.
It’s certainly a good idea in concept, but the morons probably already think it is.
Your Weight
We’ve been thinking about getting a set of barbells.
