I searched wayyyyy into the future on ESPN to find it because I realized I missed it when I was grabbing a drink and saw it playing on one of the TVs! It's playing at 7:30 am or pm at some point within the next few days. I just hit the arrow for like 2 minutes to find it.

No one can be exactly sure, of course, but if you're going to try to make specific, legitimate policy changes, the focus shouldn't be on eating organic. In terms of cost/benefit, focusing on organic is a waste of time when it comes to treating obesity.

And, what, the maid will take care of it? I think you vastly underestimate the real obstacles poor families and children have when it comes to eating healthy. Telling them to eat frozen veggies and toast just isn't the answer.

But in the discussion of obesity, the health benefits of organic vs. conventional is irrelevant.

That seems like a whole lot of more pans involved than "pizza on aluminum foil" and a whole lot less tasty than Trader Giotto's Quattro Formaggi. Your meal there, totally not convincing to the vast majority of people out there. I don't think the root of childhood obesity is that parents don't realize that frozen

I mean, honestly, though, convenience foods are pretty fucking convenient. I know it takes me less time to put a trader joe's fucking delicious pizza in the oven (15 mins including preheating) than it does to make even something like chicken and veggies. Plus I don't have to do as many dishes. Plus that pizza is

I don't think you understood my point. Honestly, in a conversation about childhood obesity, organic/nonorganic shouldn't even be part of the conversation. It muddies that waters because it doesn't really affect obesity. Once we can get shit set up so people can afford (in both money and time) to eat conventional

Let's not conflate healthy food with organic food, especially in the childhood obesity discussion. Organic/non-organic really has no bearing. (And I don't know how to say this next part without sounding bitchy, but I assure you that's not the intention): If the probably-college-educated author of this piece can't

I totally disagree. There were chapters at my college that were all those things: no hazing, not expensive, didn't judge on clothing/attractiveness, and they were more than just a student group to a lot of the people in it (although not for everyone - I know we had issues in my chapter about girls who just saw the

Yeah, the article said that the presidents and the rest of Panhel (notably, the VP Recruitment didn't sign the letter) voted to go ahead with recruitment anyway.

As the VP of Recruitment for my college Panhellenic council in college for three years, I love the sentiment, but damn, did they really have to make this announcement the weekend before recruitment began? Ice cold. The timing, though, actually will make it pretty likely that the conversations during recruitment will

From what I've read, she was transferred by the Indian government to a position in the Indian U.N. delegation.

Diplomatic immunity would cover criminal actions outside of her official functions. Consular immunity, which is the type of immunity she had at the time of her criminal actions, does not cover criminal actions outside of her official functions, which is why there was nothing wrong with arresting her in the first

She didn't have diplomatic immunity! She had consular immunity, which doesn't cover criminal acts such as this. Prosecuting her to the fullest extent of the law for her criminal actions doesn't take away from the concept of diplomatic immunity.

This is crazy. When she committed these crimes, she was not an ambassador (the Indian government gave her a promotion specifically to try to retroactively give her a shot at immunity). She only had consular immunity at the time. No one's saying to get rid of diplomatic immunity.

Does being a vegetarian prevent you from using Google?

Where'd You Go Bernadette was the most fun I had reading a book in a LONG time. It's my go-to recommendation for anyone who is looking for something really really good, but really really fun too.

Agree to disagree, I suppose!

Please explain the double standard you have for vegan/vegetarians who also cut out perfectly healthy foods (like fish and eggs) as "also considered a healthy way of eating." Maybe because people feel better/look better/etc. when they don't consume grains or legumes (even if they don't have a specific allergy or

Yup! There are so many really dedicated/inspiring paleo people out there on instagram!
