Nonsense! It's extremely easy to know what healthy food is, just use common sense. Fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, and natural herbs and spices, fresh, properly fed animal corpses if you must, and all things in moderation. This has been known for centuries. Just avoid factory food and you'll probably be eating healthy. The confusion comes from people refusing to believe that there's no such thing as healthy food from a factory, just because it's inconvenient I guess -- lots of people would apparently sooner eat feces than feel inconvenienced...
I guess maybe I don't know the answer. I just know that for me, about half the people I see daily are walking horrors, and the message I always got loud and clear was "don't be a lazy glutton or this will be you!". Which is why at age 51 I'm the same exact size and measurements I was at age 19. I set rules for myself, and one of them set decades ago is "I am a size six -- I do not buy other sizes". That always worked, though I love eating just much as anyone. Another good rule is "all food should be fresh, natural, and nutritious". Fortunately, I'm a great cook and tend to prefer real food.:)
Frankly, it always seemed to me that the fat people just don't bother with the business of setting rules for themselves (discipline). Knowing many of them (unavoidable) and having the opportunity to observe their behavior appears to confirm that, though obviously this is all strictly anecdotal.
...we have to use strong motivators to help people regain or maintain their health.
Nature has already provided that. We're talking about people so irrational that "not morphing into a wheezing Jabba the Hutt lookalike" is not sufficient motivation -- which means it's almost certainly hopeless.
Indeed, why is it always the morons who are so forceful about "sharing" their ideas?
Just like when the warm weather comes, the first men to ditch their shirts are always the last people you'd ever want to see shirtless (put that shirt back on, fatso!).
However then to the disgust of the Scientologists in our government I will announce my claim to the soul of L.Ron Hubbard and my intent to sell it to the first fucker that sticks his hand out from under a volcano.
A friend of mine actually has LRon's soul in a mayonnaise jar. He opened it for me once, just for a split second. Smelled like cheap cigarettes...
It was very obvious to those of living in affected areas during that event that extraordinary measures were taken by the police to ensure they had the excuses necessary to engage in a violent free-for-all. They were macing people who were in cars stuck in traffic! It was the most horrifying thing, I never thought I'd live to see the day that the police in a major US city would be used as a terrorist organization with the sole goal of violently intimidating peaceful dissenters on such a vast scale. This is not the same USA I grew up in...
I'm a middle-aged woman who was leaving a university lecture and had four blocks to walk to get home. They acted like I had a weapon or something, because I had the nerve to ask "how can I get around this, I live one block that way?" instead of just saying, "oh ok officer, I don't really need to go home". So yes, I was most definitely an innocent bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time and AFAIC the police had absolutely no excuse to behave as they did. Furthermore, I was far from the only innocent party wronged by Seattle PD that day. Do some reading about it, there's plenty of info online about how poorly the police behaved during that entire event. It was truly shameful, and I'm afraid also quite representative of how US police forces have changed.
Probably chickens outnumber all other bird species in the US (I think about a gazillion a day are killed just so Ma and Pa Fattie can get their fix), so that statement may be false.
Nice troll. You might be singing a different tune of you'd been an innocent bystander who got tased for "being in the wrong place at the wrong time" (in my case, Seattle 1999 WTO protests). This is a tool for repressing dissent, not for maintaining legitimate law and order.
I've long thought that Christianity is mislabeled as "monotheistic". In fact they have two gods, a god of light named yaw-eh and a god of darkness named satan or lucifer. Damned heathens...
I love the idea, but doubt it will happen. The N900 is pretty close to my dream phone, but I'm stuck with Verizon due to business and location. If one could order the mainboard, radio, screen, keyboard, enclosure, etc and assemble the thing then install some distro and register it on Verizon's network that would be really exciting. But other people who feel that way are uncommon, I guess... And of course it would buck the trend of your carrier effectively owning all devices and data on it's network. Now that they've gotten a taste of the mass market accepting that and even paying a premium for it, we're all screwed.
Android is best compared to MS-DOS, oddly enough. It was about being a flexible OS that ran on a wide range of hardware from a wide range of vendors, and in many ways it maximized the freedom of developers and users alike. It did very little to dictate how programs could be implemented, who may use them, and how they may be distributed.
Sort of, but MS-DOS was proprietary and ran on relatively open hardware, while Android is the other way around.
The most open of the platforms prevailed, and the rest were basically crushed into obscurity....I suspect that the same thing might be happening today.
Not likely. Unfortunately, devices without locked bootloaders are the exception, not the rule. Most Android devices are not really any more open than the Blackberry in practice.
"This latest viruses attack your computer's humours, exchanging it's good aire for foul and musty spirits, thus disrupting the subtle fires necessary to process your data. Most inauspicious. That's why you need Semantec's Miracle Oil, the Ninth Wonder of the Worlde!"
Nah -- it's fake nomenclature designed to dazzle non or wannabe geeks into thinking "it isn't Norton's (or whomever's) fault" It's the computer equivalent of turn signal fluid.:)
Only people who've been thoroughly windows-indoctrinated could use terminology like that -- it actually means nothing at all, except "we don't know what we're doing here".

No. When you buy a pack of smokes today, it's only a small fraction of the price that isn't taxes.

Pretty sure it's an attention-seeking behavior. It's probably two or three 12-year-olds who are responsible for every FP on the internet.

Well at least now we know what to get you for christmas. :)
Sadly, it isn't yet legal to exterminate the members of the **AA. Otherwise, I'm right there with ya...
False dichotomy. Thanks for playing but you lose.

Corporations' profit -- say it again!
Grew up on a farm. Chickens can get airborne for very short distances, but not really fly.
Probably chickens outnumber all other bird species in the US (I think about a gazillion a day are killed just so Ma and Pa Fattie can get their fix), so that statement may be false.
The post I replied to was attempting to conflate being tased with being a dangerous, drug-crazed, public buisance. IOW. troll.

Only by uninformed basement dwellers, anyone who's been even casually following "the news" for the past five years would know it's true.

clang_jangle@gaurahari$ sudo emerge -vauND satan
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "satan".
emerge: searching for similar names...
emerge: Maybe you meant any of these: app-crypt/stan, dev-scheme/stalin, media-sound/sonata?
