I'm not trying to be a dick, I just get very eye-rolly at people who eat piles of fruit thinking that it's healthy when it's actually just candy. Even considering the fiber and nutrient content. It's the same misinformation as "whole grains" and other crap. Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it's healthy. …

Diet soda has zero calories. You can't have fructose and have zero calories. Eating 50 bananas is also not as bad as shooting heroin - you know, because of the fiber.

There's no fructose in diet soda. And I know people think that fiber is a panacea for all ill effects of sugary fruit, but it's just not the case - your liver doesn't care about fiber.

This is obviously the result of disordered eating and not any attempt at a real "diet." I know everyone seems to think that fruit = automatically healthy, but she's literally just eating straight sugar all day (and mainly fructose, at that). Her pancreas and liver (fructose can only be metabolized in the liver) are…

Yeah, he literally did the #2 non-recommended approach: made an excuse for why he's not following the rules (ring didn't fit his lady)

Yeah, I think she's crazy because she's taking parenting advice from a comedian's book. Not because she's black.

You know that blind item/article written by the ex-assistant? This sounds like the sort of crazy thinking that would fit just right into that narrative.

But film is black too!

I swear, I watched a whole bunch of "My Drunk Kitchens" one afternoon, and I STILL find myself saying certain words with a lisp because the girl who does the show has a lisp. It's so terrible!

I have a really malleable accent, to the point where about a year ago I talked in FULL ON SOUTHERN DRAWL when working with a bunch of guys from Louisiana. It's embarrassing, but I think I just forget how I "actually" pronounce words and I just start pronouncing them how I hear them.

Eh, I'm not so outraged. You can either be a one-man high pitched revolution, or you can change your voice (if you can) and end up happy. It's probably easier just to change your voice.

I wish I was on this plane, just to VERY proudly sit there, reading my book with my headphones, ignoring this whole ridiculous debacle.

Yeah, and I'm not quite sure if a high fat diet increases bad cholesterol, either.

I totally agree with you that it's about the RIGHT fats, not just a bunch of processed crap. But I think just based on those articles alone, it's not quite right to say "Fat increases insulin resistence" any more than "breathing causes lung cancer."

How does dietary fat increase insulin resistence?

Yeah, so if your voice is limiting your dating options to littering racists, make a conscious change to your voice, if it's that bad.

It's both - mainly the accent. I grew up in the midwest and went to school in western NY, and it's a mishmash of all of the TERRIBLE ways you can pronounce words and vowels. Plus her vocal fry. Plus I just don't think she's that insightful.

But like, my voice, I can make it deeper (when I'm at work) and higher (when I'm nervous). More than just a few semi-tones, it depends on where in my chest I'm talking from. I can't believe that it's THAT limited of a range for everyone (or I'm a superhero)

From her NPR bio: There is much speculation on the Internet about where Chace picked up her particular accent. She explains that it's a proprietary blend: a New England family, a Manhattan childhood, college at Oberlin in Ohio, and a first job as a teacher in a Philadelphia high school.

She has a very strong/strange Western NY/Chicago accent + intense vocal fry + not all that insightful. I just find her totally useless.
