They're not attractive to older talent either. We have long memories of the many, many times IBM went on an axe wielding mission at the expense of employees.
>Do you have any actual proof at all that whole grains are not healthier than processed grains?
We could start with understanding the difference between whole/partial and processed/not processed.
Flour in any form, whether the whole grain or not is processed. White flour is partial and processed. Whole grain flour is whole and processed. Wholeness of the grain has to do with the presence of the whole grain. Processing has to do with the extent to which it has been physically or chemically altered.
I subscribe to the established (by science!) fact that wheat agglutin is an insulin mimetic and to a greater or lesser extent this interacts with the stomach lining in not-good ways. The presence of the kernel, husk and/or kitchen sink don't alter the presence of the wheat agglutin. The rate at which it fettles your glycemic load does not alter the number of wheat agglutin molecules that are present. You might have western metabolic disorder and then the carbs are bad for you. That's a different issue entirely.
The extent to which it interacts with your innards depends heavily on who you are. Western Europeans and middle easterners for instance have had many more thousands of years to adapt to wheat than in the far East for instance. But it varies widely from individual to individual. The science is fascinating.
I could go and dig up the papers and analysis by smarter people than me that led me down this path of understanding, but it's Sunday evening, I didn't keep copious notes and I'm not going digging right now.
Being sciency, I'm open to new data and better science but the balance right now is wheat is a problem. The carb/glucose/fructose = bad thing is much more problematic, since there are well documented cases of people with obesity problems improving their situation by both going to high fat/no carb and by going to no-fat/high carb/high sugar and of course there are all the skinny people who eat what they want. If was a simple case of carbs make people fat, this would not be the case. Low carb works for me, but I don't pretend to understand the whole shebang and I don't think anyone does.
"The first recorded cases of cancer appear about the time and place that wheat agriculture began."
The first recorded cases of cancer are in ancient Egypt. They happen to correspond exactly with the earliest surviving medical texts. Cancer has always been around - it will kill all multicellular organisms in the end, unless something else kills them first.
You need to provide some evidence that human cancer was around before the rise of wheat agriculture in Egypt for that argument to hold. There is plenty of data from the last two centuries of African and innuit populations with no recorded cases of cancer, recorded by western doctors and this then changed as they adopted western elements into their diet. In the context of that, the Egypt data lines up well. Taken alone, the Egypt data is subject to interpretation about the availability of texts, but it's not just the one thing. Taube's GCBG has references to all the papers on this but it's a long read.
I checked with the expert that's sitting next to me and he said you're both dumbasses.
My expert has a PhD in education, has performed education research, has worked extensively with the DoE and has been a middle school teacher. So she's in a better position to judge than I am, but I pick things up along the way.
>Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to get too little sodium in your diet?
Yes. Cooking for myself I have control over my macronutrient intake, fat type intake and micronutrient intake. If I have too little salt or magnesium I start to cramp. Popping a magnesium pill and taking some salt fixes it quickly. This happens when I'm working in the sun and sweating a lot.
I avoid pre-packaged foods, I buy ingredients. So I don't suffer from the bad food constituents of those foods.
Go on then. Bifurcate into three and have one of you eat a whole grains (no flour, that's processed), one of you eat processed grains and the last one of you eat loads of nutrient rich fatty protein food sources, correctly salted. See what the outcome is. Wheat is wheat however you grind it. Your stomach lining doesn't care if the insulin mimetic properties of wheat agglutin came in whole food packaging or not.
>universally accepted as healthy
You use the word 'universally'. I don't think you know what that means.
The other more significant change is the move to teach to the test, because the student scores on the next test directly impacted the school and teachers, so anything outside things specifically being tests for NCLB criteria were deprecated. Goodbye rounded education.
How convenient. We can just dismiss concerns of bias now by offering an alternate hypotheis, and no need for proof.
No we can establish the original hypothesis hasn't been shown to be established with any reasonable certainly by simply pointing out a plausible alternate hypothesis that the original claims didn't explore.
It's normal in good science papers to run through all the alternatives and provide data to refute them, or point out that that some alteranitive hypothesis might be true.
Enough to not kill you, but still too little is very painful.
Experientially speaking, it makes you not want to eat any food that doesn't have enough salt on it. Literally you'd rather starve than eat because of the lack of salt.
I was talking about pain resulting from muscle cramps caused by too little salt, but yes, there are palatability issues too.
> The net effect of the DoE has been strongly negative on schools and pupils.
Wrong. Ted Kennedy's No Child Left Behind has been great for children. Except for the part where he decided to require schools to let military recruiters have students' contact information, it is nearly as good as can be. He listened to the teachers when he coauthored the bill.
Really? When I checked with an expert on the matter, who's sitting right next to me, she laughed.
I'm Aussie and I think the culture is different compared to the states, but when I went to school virtually everyone brought their own packed lunch from home.
Me and a number of my friends were given money by our parents to buy our lunches from the school canteen once a week, usually on shopping day when we had not much food left in the house.
Does anyone in the US send their children to school with packed lunches, or is it something of a social stigma to do so?
When my kid was going to school and of a certain age, bringing lunch had no stigma. Having the coolest lunchbox was certainly a thing though. School food was horrible and so packed lunches were in demand by children.
What about less salt, whole grains, and more veggies is junk?
I'm not saying the menus couldnt be better but they were a lot worse.
Too little salt kills you. Enough to not kill you, but still too little is very painful. Too much has no measurable health enpoint effect unless a 5 ton block of salt lands on your head. The correlations are to proxies, not actual health outcomes.
Whole grains make you fat. Wheat agglutin is toxic to many and just slowly kills the others. The first recorded cases of cancer appear about the time and place that wheat agriculture began.
Veggies are probably ok, but they aren't necessary. Put liver, kidneys, eggs and fatty meat on the menu with salt and pepper at the tables and no one would be harmed.
If the parents forgot to pay off a previous balance for school lunches, the kid's lunch gets thrown into the garbage to shame them. Only in America...
So one bored or unthinking lunch lady, in an isolated incident, defines for you the school lunch experience that is typical of America?
Okay...
I remember it being like that with my kid when she was at elementary school. It didn't help that the means of paying was massively difficult, with a very incompetently cobbled together web site, which is why parents failed to pay the bill. It wasn't for want of trying. There was no notification either. You had to hold a seance to find the balance.
Beyond just to get rid of all traces of Obama, is there any reason to go back to the previous standards? Lowering sodium intake seems like a good idea given all the studies that show correlation between cardiac health issues and high levels of sodium. Honest question here...
You know that the many studies showing a correlation between blood pressure and salt intake don't actually pan out for health effect right? You know correlation is there but heavily confounded by many things that are hard to control for right? You know that the amount of blood pressure increase for a western salt intake given the claimed correlation is minute and easily offset with a tiny bit of exercise don't you? Of course you know that if you get too little salt, you die.
BTW, it's not sodium. If we were feeding sodium to kids, they would explode. It's sodium chloride, which is completely different chemically.
Lets face it, Trump didn't really consider ANY of that. He wouldn't have studied any of the rules, or considered any of the science. He wouldn't have assigned a researcher to look at it.
No, the only thing Trump did, was see it was an Obama rule and do the opposite.
Because that is what Trump defines himself as: the opposite of Obama.
This is indeed not a way a good leader would lead, but it does accidentally do some good things.
A) Getting rid of the department of education. The net effect of the DoE has been strongly negative on schools and pupils. Dems might think it's a bad thing to do, but those with an interest in better education and knowledge of DoE shenanigans over the past few years will be happy to see it go. I'm a lefty on many issues, but this is not a right/left issue. It's a bad/good issue. The educators should call Trump's bluff and demand more federal control so he imposes more local control of schools. Then things will improve in places that are far from Kansas.
B) The subject of this article. Low sodium, high whole grain diets are what is killing Americans. If school kids get full fat milk and properly seasoned meat, then they will be better off. Michelle Obama who is a naturally skinny person has no concept of the western metabolic disorder and its causes.
No they are not. Anyone who has paid attention to the science for the past decade should have serious doubts about whole grains being healthy. Since I do not accept whole grains as healthy, then your statement of universal acceptance is untrue. But it's not even close to being true.
Low-sodium diets also have some pretty serious problems with lack of any repeatable evidence of efficacy.
Indeed.
Too little sodium --> You die More than the recommended sodium --> you live Lots more --> There is a very very weak correlation with a minute increase in blood pressure that is heavily confounded with the many things that go along with high sodium diets and is more than offset with for example walking for 10 minutes a day.
OS X has Launchpad, which is designed to be touch-friendly despite no OS X systems coming with a touch screen. Nobody uses it, so you may not remember it.
Windows does not have a touch-friendly interface unless you only use "modern" apps. They don't adjust the size of the drop-down menus on regular apps when you're in tablet mode - something they could do if they lied to the program about the size of the screen to make room (I assume - I don't do Windows GUI development).
Launchpad is keyboard friendly. Click the icon, start typing the name of the program. After you are 2 or three characters into typing it, it filters the many icons down to the one program you are looking for. It didn't need to take over the whole screen, it works similarly on Windows 10. Click in the corner, start typing, click on the program you were looking for, but windows 10 does take over the screen while you do it.
