Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Hatching a Conspiracy Theory: A BIG investigation into eggs prices. Long but interesting read. Egg cartels are real.

- Peter Attia: A casual link between obesity and autoimmune disease. Bottom line - another scientific study showing the benefit of exercise and keeping your weight in check.

- The Death of Europe. "America's poorest state (Mississippi) is now richer than most European countries."

- Some good memes.

Obesity in America

Cultural Offering has an excellent post on why Americans are so fat. You should make time to go through the post and let the information sink in on how bad the American diet is. If you have kids - go through the post with them so they can learn how they are being manipulated and their health being put at risk.

Eat real food - eliminate anything that comes in a box or a package from your diet. Only drink things that occur in nature. Soda is perhaps one of the worst things you can put in your body. I've narrowed down the things I drink to pretty much water, coffee (black), tea, and beer (we've been drinking beer for thousands of years).

Get the Government Out of Our Kitchens

And also out of the bedroom and the schoolrooms. A nation of overweight people, who are confused over their genders and who don't know basic math or science is where we're headed. (Via)

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The original childhood obesity test... Everyone seems to be saying that Joe Biden is bringing back all the things from the Carter Administration like gas lines, war in the Middle East, inflation, etc. I can deal with those and the inevitable bellbottom pants but really not looking forward to the return of naturally hairy vaginas. Seriously not looking forward to that... Can anyone remember when half a million people attended the Sturgis motorcycle rally last year and there was basically no Covid related issues either before or after?  Yeah funny how the media seemed to skip over that event after warning that everyone was going to die... Who knew? Hollywood actually started as a Christian community planned with a Methodist church on every block... Truly random aside - I would be greatly amused if the legal name of Vermont was changed to "Vermonth." Pronounce ver-month. Or failing that "Vermouth" would also do...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The judge in the Nassar case should be made the new President of Michigan State University and Aly Raisman should be named the new head of USA Gymnastics... Winston Churchill died 50-years ago today. Here are 10 of his best quotes... I self-identify as a sober man stuck in the body of a hungover man (though this doesn't seem to matter to my headache)... Interesting language tidbit... It is possible that when parents started to tell their children not to be "fresh" (i.e. talking back) is when America started having an obesity problem (that and processed sugary food stuffs). Do you want some fresh fruits or vegetables? No - my parents told me not to be fresh... If I were the President I would sign an Executive Order saying that USA Gymnastics could no longer use the letters "USA" until every single person who had supervisory control over Dr. Nassar is fired or resigned in disgrace.
