Researchers at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health have found that sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) contribute to a higher risk of early death from “any cause”

These studies are always less harrowing once the math folks helpfully remind us of this.

Looks closely at the “yourself” that you typed in the quote above, that’s not an “o”

Just remember that a “21% increase” in the likelihood of an unlikely event such as early death makes it....still pretty damn unlikely. If you have a 0.1% chance of early death, and you drink 2 sodas per day, you now have a 0.121% chance of early death.

Hershey’s is to chocolate as velveeta is to cheese: Extremely American and really only meant for consumption in a melty form.

These fail the criteria set forth, in that they are not highly rated and thus are not overrated. Peeps is specifically cited as being ignored for two specific reasons. 

Thank you for reminding us that you’re the person who wrote that horrifying “how to eat candy” article so we can know how to interpret the rest of your takes. Although I think this would have tipped me off that we were dealing with a legendary-grade food pervert:

I love birding, and I used to be really into fantasy baseball. But this is lame, birding shouldn’t be competitive.

I get so annoyed at those asshole birders that will disturb a bird’s habitat just so they can get a closer picture, like they think they’re some hotshot Nat Geo photographer. Newsflash...nobody gives a…

EGOT is not a 30 Rock reference. The term was coined in the ‘80s.

Amen on this. I typically fill a crock with sliced onions and just let it do its thing. I vac seal and freeze portions- Perfect for whenever you need to kick up a recipe.

The complaint about Netflix making ‘the same shows from 20 years’ ago rings especially hollow on this media network that can’t stop publishing pieces of every single breathe whispered about a potential comic book movie or TV show, despite how the entire genre is exceedingly generic and mediocre.

And I saw someone send Vichysoisse back because it ‘was cold’. Well, duh! It came on a bed of crushed ice.

Even post WWII, while medical technology was improving our lifespans, we were eagerly incorporating toxins into everyday life. Leaded gas, asbestos insulation - hell, kids in the 50's used to play with liquid mercury because it was one of the chemicals in chemistry sets, along with explosives, auto-igniting chemicals,…

I’m assuming Lord of the Rings is #1, so what’s #2?

Yes, but I was talking TV shows, like this newspost is. :)

“Game Of Thrones’ shocking execution rewrote the rules of genre storytelling”

They haven’t been going without them . . . people have been brewing kombucha, kefir, etc. for literally thousands of years.
