A company wanted to sell more bacon so they asked doctors two separate questions; first was "do you think it's better to eat no breakfast or a hearty one?" Doctors of course said "well yeah, a hearty breakfast. Not eating breakfast isn't the best idea. Your body needs fuel." The other one was "do you consider bacon a hearty food?" The answer was typically "yes." So what happens next? The answers get combined to "doctors suggest you eat bacon for breakfast!" At the time breakfast for most people was typically not much more than a slice of toast and some coffee. Next thing we know breakfast becomes the most important meal of the day and you should load up on the pig meats hard as you can. Then we find out that eating lots and lots of red meat is really bad for you but who cares? BACON WITH EVERY MEAL! Bacon cheeseburgers on every street corner! Deep fried garbage as far as the eye can see! Nah. http://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/Traditional-English-Breakfast/

ToxicSlurpee posted:I think part of it goes back to the invention of formula in the first place. For basically ever nobody really gave a poo poo if women breastfed in public because like...that's just something people do. People have always done that. It's how reproduction works. Women have babies then women feed them with their breasts. Nothing gross about it. It's how humans work and have always worked. Companies that made baby formula obviously wanted to sell more of it so they did some marketing that made breastfeeding a weird, gross, and not modern thing to do. Suddenly the cool and good thing to do was feed babies something that just coincidentally you had to buy. Eventually it turned out that while formula is OK for babies the best thing is just boob juice. Obviously that isn't always available for some reason or another so formula is a fine backup but the best option is breast milk. They didn't really market it like that, at least not so directly. Formula was created in the late 19th century, and it fit really well into industrialization and the increasing role of women outside the home. You didn't need to quit your job or find someone else nursing to take care of the baby while you weren't around' you could just leave them with grandma and feed them formula. That ended up creating a cultural perception of breast feeding in the US and Canada as something uncultured and old-fashioned. That perception held through up through the first half of the baby-boom. I doubt that advertising didn't contribute to it, but the larger demand for women in the labor force was what made it work. When women started going back to the domestic sphere for a while, suddenly breast feeding wasn't such a bad idea.

Honestly I'd rather young adults make decisions about the things that directly affect them than a bunch of old men on the brink of senility and dementia. Their track record has been terrible and they're completely divorced from modern reality.

This isn't news, really, but there's some amazing cognitive dissonance in this argument. Conservatives insisted for years (and some, like Jeff Sessions, still do) that banning drugs and harshly penalizing people who used them was smart policy. Yet when gun control comes up, they switch to "hah, that policy we've been promoting since the 70's never worked in the first place, so why are you acting like it did?"

Breast-feeding is good if you can do it, but formula is a fine substitute for people who can't and has literally saved the lives of thousands of babies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_80bWlLJvg If you want a lot more detail, you can listen to the podcast: http://www.maximumfun.org/adam-ruins-everything/adam-ruins-everything-episode-31-courtney-jung-history-formula-feeding-and-why Basically, formula was great for mothers who couldn't breast feed. Then Nestle, who are pure evil, started claiming it was better than breast-feeding and pushing it on poor African countries where they didn't have enough clean water to make formula. Like most things, it's neither good nor bad, it depends on how it's used.

There's nothing wrong with breastfeeding, most of the time, and there's nothing wrong with formula, most of the time. Breastfeeding extremists (the existence of which is another sign we're in the hell dimension) are stupid assholes, and so are the corporate scumsuckers that sometimes try to push formula in societally and economically damaging ways. As with so many other things in life, the options of how to feed a baby (by which I mean breastfeeding or formula, not including 'starve it to death because we're retarded vegans') are actually pretty much equal and equivalent in pretty much every way, given that they have different benefits and potential drawbacks, with all the negative aspects being externalized bad actor influence.

SeANMcBAY posted:Why do right wing gun people always use this language for gun control proponents? Far left people don’t tend to want to regulate guns as much as liberals. Since you maybe haven't already, I find it very helpful and time saving to adopt the following line of thinking: The Republican party and most Republican voters are absolute garbage people. The fact that a propaganda news program is one of the only things keeping them relevant should be an indication of this. They are incredibly critical towards post-secondary education, and they still sell out for and prioritize Christianity and the NRA above all else. Any decent seeming person who claims to be Republican either doesn't know why they identify that way, were brainwashed into it as kids, or are way worse of a person than they let on. If the response to yesterday's march hasn't made it incredibly clear: gently caress all of them. And yes I realize they say the same poo poo about me, but the difference is I DON'T INSULT LITERAL CHILDREN WHO SURVIVED A MASS SHOOTING AND ORGANIZED A NATIONWIDE PROTEST.

They want to paint the entire left as extremely far leftists that want to force everybody into gunless poverty. Not every leftist is a Marxist, communist, or socialist nor doses every lefty want to ban all guns and take them away from everybody. The right really, really likes to stoke the flames of paranoia. That's all there is to it, really; they just scream "THE LEFT WANTS YOUR MONEY AND YOUR HOUSE AND YOUR GUNS!!!!" all day.

Anything to the left of Fox News is the same ideology, and you just pick something based on how harsh you want your language to be. Not one of these goons could tell you the difference between a liberal and a socialist if pressed.
