Because a diet consisting of corn is so healthy for us humans, right?
I don't like my _beef_ being all corn-fed -- it results in a screwy fatty-acid profile not reflected in natural (grass-fed) beef. A diet of all corn for humans is a fast-track to those diseases of affluence that you just mentioned.
My point: I don't give much stock to the argument that the US is morally bankrupt because they feed cows to eat rather than feeding people. Feeding people what we feed cows would result in lots and lots of even more unhealthy people.
I don't often comment at Slashdot. Reading it for years and years.
But this is the worst argument I've ever heard so far. Congratulations!
Your entire second paragraph is supposition based upon almost no evidence. Then you call someone fucking stupid for being skeptical of your claim.
The burden of proof doesn't lie with him. It lies with you. and all you can do is sling insults instead of arguing. Congratulations!
Ya know, I'd tend to agree with the GPP. Most asshats I've seen in online games, who troll on the forums and generally are bitter, caustic-mouthed tyrants, are not people I'd ever want to know in real life either. There's a few exceptions but they are few and far between.
What you do "for fun" does reveal more of you than you might care to admit.
It's a nice thing to be part of the half that's always right though, isn't it?
If you're in the "educated people with brains" category, then you should think long and hard about what it means if you're always right on every issue and your opponent is always wrong.
I only wish I was as infallible as you.

You think you're going to find people arguing on slashdot who DON'T have tinfoil hats? :P
