the point that there's no easy answer is right, but otherwise...there is plenty of evidence on some ingredients that cause harm that are still allowed in foods. (Not to mention plastics, etc). If food companies were on the up and up, fully labelling what is in their food (e.g.) I would have less problem. Much Less.…

my god, YES!

you know what? I'd be happy if they'd just start by making companies honestly label what they're selling! E.g. I have no big bone, at this pint, with GMOs for myself. But just label that shit so we can choose what we ingest! Makes me so furious.

yup, the shelf life is the key. They don't want stuff that keeps for a week, they want to make stuff that keeps for a year...

yeah, that's part of the BS. WHY is the burger $1 and the salad $8 when the salad is almost entirely iceburg fucking lettuce?! Nope, the healthy stuff is (usually) *so much* more expensive because it can be, not because it has to be. They figure people who really care will pay top dollar for it (and they're right.…

because that requires using ingredients other then the literal cheapest shit (chemicals, shit, whatever you call it!) around because you care about what you're selling (and not just the $$$). #radicalidea :/

Exactly. Cause I 've had a couple of those "I'm so glad we're friends you're so awesome I just never have gotten along with other women but now there's YOU see it was never my fault always the fault of the other women who were clearly just jealous" type friends. And they are the only friendships I've ever had to,…

this reminds me of (the very good and fun book) "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?"!!

Just yesterday I fell on a full airplane. Full out, face down in the first class aisle. I woke everyone with the horrid sound of my body slamming to the floor. I should be mortified. But I think it's friggin hilarious. What is wrong with me?

So many pro-lifers actually think late term abortion exists simply because women just up and decide at the last minute one day they're not in the mood for a bebbe after all. I shit you not. I've had this absurd debate with someone close to me. It is insane.

I would have euthanised my decades-long ill family member if it were legal. It would have been the hardest thing imaginable - SAVE for watching him watch himself lose the ability to do everything over the course of 30 horrifying years, including 10yrs unable to speak or move in bed. (And, yes, he once asked me to when…

I really like coffitivity.com - coffee shop chatter - while I write. Just gives my home office a certain ambiance that works well for me.

Thank you! I've always wanted to stretch in the morning cause I hear it's so great you, but my muscles are SO tight when I get up and it's so easy to pull something that I just don't. I'm glad it's not just me.

Ok great! I can do the "eat only fruit" part. I can do the "lemony water" part. That's something (erm, right?)

I was suspecting this sort of dynamic as I read the article. It makes perfect sense really. I mean, isn't that kindof the point of luxury brands? To scream (by showing the right label) "I want everyone to know I have money/can fit in"?

Yeaaaaah. Ri can do as she pleases (obvs, and she does) and good for her, YET I do also get annoyed at the fact that...well, when are we finally going to stop playing coy and just merge the professions of "FEMALE pop singer" and soft porn actress?

or google aboutRomanian orphanages and psychology. (Romania in particular because I just remember reading some discussions/studies had been done focusing on them.)

PAH! Whut?! So that should be true for athletes and celebrity entertainers too! An anyone else in a "desirable" or socially enhancing career?

As someone who has a bit of a media "brand" that is my name/face (very small and nothing to bring about but still) this kind of thing freaks me out . It's why mean troll comments bother me. I can take people disagreeing w me or saying random things because they are asses, but I fear that one day someone with too much…

In other words, first-borns are god's chosen "bootstrappers" and he rest are destined to be "takers"! Now we know who's what and can segregate them properly at birth into their proper class divisions and save all this politics and education namby-pamby stuff. Yay!
