Take for example most "scientific" research into anything related to health and nutrition. Most of what we think we know about health, proper food consumption and exercise is science fiction and speaks to the ultimate agenda of the funding or otherwise affiliated organizations behind a particular study or institution under which it takes place.
Yes. The messaging from Costco is that it's OK to eat this way. It feeds the overall mentality of unhealthy members that this lifestyle goes inline with their over consumption of oversized foods at Costco generally.
That there is nothing wrong with grabbing a hotdog, pizza, and soda on your way to pick up your blood pressure "medication" at the pharmacy once you're done stuffing yourself with the food causing your high blood pressure.
That is a huge misconception. Many people use Costco as a frequent take out food place. Pizza and hotdogs. In my kids class alone I know of several parents who often pass by Costco on the way from school to feed kids dinner there. It's done far more often than you think.
In 20 years HN will have a front page top post about the long term health risks of male circumcision. Sometimes it take time for common sense to become.. common.
It is a great specialty. Sure doesn't hurt to pick up others along the way, but having deep Angular 1.x specialty 5 years from now will have you flooded with maintenance, upgrade and conversion gigs, and big ones.
1000% this. For a consulting shop, Angular 1.x specialty was, is, and will be hot for many years to come. From a developer stand point, there is really no need to look elsewhere other than hype.
An organic wild blueberry + strawberry smoothie (no other ingredients). But that's not the point - you shouldn't stay awake for too long of a time in the first place.
Seriously this trend on HN to knee jerk react with "do you have sources for xyz" needs to stop. Googling it in 5 seconds will give you plenty of sources. Do your own research.
Not only that. Animals in factory farms are held in very poor conditions, overcrowded, consuming a very poor diet not designed for them by nature, and spending most of their lives stepping and sleeping on their own manure. So of course they get sick. Do people really need studies and articles to figure out the end product of these sick poor animals will be bad for people?
Lol. For years I talk about fasting here on HN and get downvoted to oblivion. Intermittent fasting is what they now say is healthy because it means you're still consuming food so they still make money. A far better alternative and a cure to many many "diseases" (yes, cure, I said it) is a prolonged water fast (10 to 40 days), and/or a dry fast (no food no water) for 2 to 10 days.
This is one of those things you need to use common sense to realize these diseased animals are not going to have a positive effect on your body. This knee jerk reaction to ask for a full blown research paper on HN is getting out of control.
It's amazing to me that these studies (and the people who look at them and comment) rarely ever consider the difference between eggs from sick factory farmed chickens on a nasty grain diet, vs. pasture raised chickens fed on grass and forage.
It's not a high priority because the correct diet (raw fruits and some veggies) will lead to a huge reduction in so-called "auto-immune diseases", diabetes, cancers, all IBS related, etc. Big Pharma and all others involved in the machine called modern medicine will suffer financially.
Exactly, and to that point, many many "diseases" can be cured with a prolonged water fast (10-40 days, depending on severity, and obviously closely monitoring vitals throughout the process). It's incredibly unfortunate that not more people have access to this very simple guidance. Diabetes (yes, some type 1s included), Crohn's, Colitis, arthritis, the list is as long as the number of downvotes I get every time I share this.
Again you resort to extremes to justify your (likely) unhealthy lifestyle and make a point that really contributes nothing to the conversation.
And then, what is your second point there? Are you a carnivore?
Why is "dead flesh" triggering you so much? Are you ripping into live animals in the wild and swallowing them whole? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, I would love to meet the first lion using HN.
There is no such single concept as a vegan diet. Drinking coca cola is vegan. "Vegans" can have a diet worse than those who simply consume animal products. I did not say the answer is a vegan diet, commenters here kind of assumed it.
Fruits are given to you by nature, no one takes them violently (unless picked unripe, which is a problem on its own in this country). Also unlike dead flesh, they take at most 30ish minutes to digest, not hours where they go rancid in your body like most other foods.
It's funny how in these type of threads people like to play dumb.
Obviously no one is saying vegans live forever. It's not what this is about. Even if we all die eventually, why not have the best quality if life possible and have as few health problems possible, if any at all?
I'm not sure I understand your point - are you comparing the cleanliness of my keyboard to the horrible living conditions of a typical cow? I highly doubt the keys on my keyboard have manure on them.
Also, don't forget to drive without a seatbelt, never get any exercise, don't brush your teeth, and don't have a fire extinguisher. Because, you know, anyway none of us are getting out alive.
