    Stop trying to create and then defend one thing.

    Fat intake has gone through the roof, as has sugar and salt. So we are eaitng more food, and that food has more sugar/fat/salt then before.

    "Up-scale restaurants generally have a tendency to cook the old school way,"
    name THAT logical fallacy, sheesh.

    "People have been consuming excessive portions of fat for 100s of years without an obesity epidemic"
    That's not true at all. for 100's of years most people dind't get enough to eat.You would have to be rich to eat excess fat 100 years ago. Hell, it would have been hard to do 50 years ago.

    " than age old delicious recipes consumed by our far thinner ancestry."
    Idiocy. Imagine eating that meal 6 times a day. That is the problem.

    And it's sugar. Bleached, unbleachs cane, beat, corn that's an issues. Their is no logical reason to bring up one type of sugar.
    In fac,t it derails the discussion. All sugars that aren't backs with the correct level of fiber are bad for you.

    I good podcast that I listen to discussed this recently.

    "President Obama authorized the killing of Americans without trial, something illegal under the very rules of the U.S. (constitution) "
    No, it's not. 600,000 American dies during the civil war, none with a trial.

    The 16 year old boy was tragic but not the target.

    You keep making emotional and nonsense statement we won't get anywhere and you will be dissmissed as a crank.
    Stick specifically to ligic and facts.

    FYI: sometime people get killed due to bad intelligence. Tragic, but it's pretty hard to blame the people pulling the trigger.

    And , of course, no one looks at the number or statistics to see if things are really that bad over all.

    no. It impacted almost every diplomatic mission.

    People also overlook how good the leaks show the US. Diplomatically we ar doing pretty much what the US has said they are doing. It's just diplomatic situaiton aren't some ideal situation.
    Persons A and B might get together and person A might say "person C is a jerk!" and person B will say "He sure is." now, lets see what we can do to get you and C to stop fighting.
    The Person B will go to person C and person C will say "person A sure is a jerk! and person B will say 'Yep, but lets see if we can ge you guys to stop shooting each other."

    persona A, B, and C know that's going on. But when you are dealing with egos,and politics exposing that to the public will make people take actions to save face.

    That is a simple and trivial example.
