That leaves one question - if, as you say, freedom of speech and process of law has been abandoned by the evil nigger in the WHITE house - why in hell are you still here to post your idiotic drivel? Why haven't THEY whisked you away without lawyer, court, nothing? Why haven't you been drone-bombed? Could it be because your theory is just a huge steaming pile of utter bullcrap? No, really?
You probably should thank them. You'll live a better life this way. They saved you from crappy pay and being fired the day before you reach a level of seniority to actually enjoy the job and instead having to start at zero seniority at another exploiting outfit. I looked into it myself - it's for enthusiasts these days. And even enthusiasts are better off getting their PPL and just doing it for fun with a well paying job on the side.
While I do agree with your general remarks, one small question. Why is "small government" as such a good value? I find it a totally meaningless phrase. Small what? Small banking regulations? Small army? Small EPA? Small social security? Small police? The term says nothing at all.
They don't even need to print money, as they have an excellent credit rating - well, as long as the GOP doesn't try to trash it like last year. Folks, government debt is not remotely comparable to your credit card.
I,as an outsider find this whole debacle hugely amusing, to be honest. The very guys wanking off daily to the holy constitution decide that after losing a democratic election for the presidency - a very core concept of said constitution - they gonna petition for secession. Right. Very constitutional patriots you are. Not. Petulant 5-year olds throwing a tantrum in Walmart because they didn't get their candy.
Don't disturb their om, mate. Didn't you get the memo? Oil prices are high because Obama. Doesn't have anything to do with the fact that EROI is beyond crap for those proven reserves. Doesn't have anything to do with the fact that lots of leases aren't even taken because the return is so crappy. No, not at all.
For sure, Guinness is a damn lot better than Bud, no question about that. And indeed not bad for a mass produced one. But if you ever had a high-end stout from some craft brewery, well, you'll see the difference. If you get your hands on some BrewDog stuff... try it.
If I parented a dwarf I would totally call him Bilbo.

Yeah, I really need to get more into that - I do the occasional focaccia and played around with sourdough a bit - I like doing it, but then again, I do have good, traditional bakers in town.
There's the matter of taste. They are not remotely equally good or bad. Also, there is a difference in the metabolism of fructose and glucose. But go on and gorge on crap.
It's purely my anecdote, but I doubt that. I grew up with good old home-style bohemian cuisine. Absurdly heavy roux-based sauces to be sucked up by spongy ServiettenknÃdel. Sorry, grandma, I won't touch that crap with a ten foot pole today. Classic French, general Mediterranean and an assortment of Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese dishes are on my table these days.
Yes, thankfully I am not in the US either - Germany rather. We, too, have been spared the HFCS. I totally agree on the societal impact of poor nutrition. More than that, I think it is a quite scary loss of simple cultural techniques that many people are not able to prepare a meal from scratch these days.
Anyway - greetings to the Northern Neighbours! You may keep that SurstrÃmming, though;)
Thanks for the link. I'll have too look deeper into that when I got more time. Interesting stuff. In the end, as a biochemist, I think we are dealing with something more complex than usually presented. I am somewhat tired of the simplistic explanations along the lines of "it's the processed carbohydrates!", "it's the trans-fats" etc., etc.
Purely anecdotal, I lost about 15 pounds since I stopped using any "industrial" food and started to prepare basically anything apart from classic craft products like bread, butter, cheese, sausage for myself. And I am not exactly cooking "healthily" - I am mostly doing classic french, so out comes the butter and the duck fat and the olive oil - make of it what you will, I haven't seen a decent explanation for the french or mediterranean paradox yet.
Cauliflower and turnips taste mediocre, even for adults, because they are routinely murdered in the kitchen. Learn to cook, guys.
May I present cauliflower lifted to an acceptable culinary level?
Break it into small parts, get rid of large stems. Blanch quickly, cool in ice water. I still needs to have crunch, not some evil mushy texture. There you got your basics for good cauliflower.Now we go on.
1) simple and healthy: Toss with some spring onions and a light vinaigrette. Serve cold. Tasty salad.
2) Decadent and not so healthy: Put them in small portion sized baking dishes. Mix creme fraiche, cream, egg yolk, roquefort. Season with salt, a dash of lemon juice, a pinch of cayenne pepper. Pour the mixture on the cauliflower. Bake until browned over. Cauliflower fit to be served in a truly upscale restaurant.
Hm. How does that work with basically all of south-east asia? The preference for milled white rice is as strong there as here, and rice mush is in all likelihood the first solid food asian kids receive. No obesity epidemic there, though. No question that brown rice is better for a variety of reasons, but I find it hard to see it as a causative agent for the current obesity epidemic.
True. Apart from that, I simply decided to disconnect myself from the food industry. Anything that wouldn't have been considered a craft product a 100 years ago - like bread, butter sausages, etc - I make myself. The rest I try to get from non-industrial style operations.
And you know, it doesn't take significant time. If I am really too burned out for cooking a decent meal in the evening, there's always some leftover stew of some kind in the freezer that I can nuke. And there is so much tasty, healthy and cheap stuff that you can whip up in 15 to 30 minutes.
Amen to that. I have a butcher who provides free-range pigs. A world of a difference. This time of the year, they are at their best - the farmer keeps them in his orchards, where they gorge themselves on slightly fermented apples fallen off the trees. Last thing I brought home from him was a piece of belly on the bone. Slow roasted a part, made a part into a Sichuan-style stir fry and used the bone and the trimmings to make some real tonkotsu broth for true ramen. I love meat. Dearly. But I rather eat less of it and buy quality. It is a world of a difference.
Isn't it fascinating how you NEVER get an answer when you post a reply to a "and what have you done" question? It seems to be out of their perceivable reality that someone can actually live comfortably while reducing his environmental impact.

There is nothing illegal about exposing racists to the public either. Where does legality even enter the picture with regard to this story?
Speech is behaviour, not thought. It is thought publicly formed into words.

You mean "who voted against Romney because he showed the finger to everyone who is not a rich white male", right?

It's not about producing the volume for human consumption anyway - it is about the wild coffee plants. I do like my wild Ethiopean coffees, though...

I am aware that HFCS does exist here - it does not, however, permeate our foodways as much as in the US.

But this doesn't coincide with the introduction of white rice, does it?

I absolutely do agree. And I declare myself guilty of letting myself being sidetracked in the manner you describe.
