yeah thats pretty good


a lot of the reporting around obesity in the us is just pure pseudo science, a lot of studies start with the conclusion that looking like a greek statue = health and then work backwards from there with a level of subjugating math to the need of ideology that even a chicago school economist would describe as heavy-handed

lol wtf is this poo poo

theres's a big difference between some mythological greek and what ppl used to look like

its a sociological (lots of work, car culture, fear of walking, tons of sugar in everything, cheap processed junk being easier than alternatives when you work all the time, etc.) and pollution problem (microplastics, phtlates and other edcs), not pseudo-science.

i'm sayin that guys like Adolphe Quetelet and Ancel Keys were fuckin weird-rear end cranks

I've been thinking about this for days

There's something so loving galaxy brain about proposing that agriculture and city building are done by different civilizations that I can't stop thinking about what is going through this guy's head, like what does he think romans ate

(I mean obviously he thinks they ate factory-farmed beef for every meal cuz he's a reactionary idiot but it's so funny to think about)

I don't know that ancient rome is the society we really want to emulate but I do think it could have been improved with weed

yeah weighing your food and meticulously tracking everything you eat is extreme. do you think humans even 50 years ago needed to do that to be healthy?

i'm p sure we're overall healthier today than back when "a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of vodka" was considered a healthy lunch

life expectancy was 8 years shorter in 1972 lol

Nixtamalization

I just wanted to say that. It’s a good word.

genuinely very funny that there were literal centuries where non-native people were like, "too good" or some poo poo to do nixtamalization

Was it really that or did they just not figure it out? It seems like a counter-intuitive thing to do.

they knew the mexican native groups e.g. nahua did it (note that the word itself looks pretty nahua) but it was dismissed by non-native groups as just a superstitious ritual rather than y'know chemically significant

this is p funny to me because its kind of hard to imagine any use of calcium hydroxide that isn't chemically significant, plus europeans knew how to like make pretzels and traditional european laundry is done with ash so they knew that caustic solutions can do some poo poo

All of the "I will not inject poison into my body" posts, for whatever reason, don't say anything about anything that would prevent you from staring at a computer screen looking at anime titties all day

this one says "no plastics" so unless they're getting all their hentai in hardcopy they're gonna have trouble

its a pretty funny list because like a lot of it is just stuff that tons of people put on their new years resolution anyway (no vaping or whatever), a lot of it is stuff that seems almost tautologically easy (i've never really had any trouble avoiding radium eyeliner), and then of course "no plastics or receipts," stuff that's just asinine and seemingly impossible to avoid
