Ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, are just as addictive as nicotine, cocaine or heroin, 'experts' say - and supposedly more than 1 in 10 people are 'hooked'.
A new analysis of 281 studies across 36 different countries has uncovered that a staggering 14% of adults are hooked on UPFs. Read that again. This is a study of studies. Who the fuck has that much free time?
The findings are stupid, given that UPFs like sausage, ice cream, biscuits, soft drinks, and sugary cereals have previously been linked to cognitive decline, cancer, psychological distress and even an early death.
So if you eat Captain Crunch and you're run over by a truck at the age of 22, was the cereal a factor in your early and untimely demise?
The analysis was led by University of Michigan professor Ashley Gearhardt, who previously created the Yale Food Addiction Scale by applying the same criteria that experts use to diagnose substance addiction. Think about it - this is the kinda shit people get paid to think about, and we're out there banging nails and humpin' plywood just to make a buck. Go figure...

Dana's or Jeanne's career trajectories. If you've never seen this movie don't sweat it - it's just about as bad an exploitation flick as they can be. Probably shot in four days on a hundred dollar budget. Juss' sayin'...
It's so bad it's good...

Healthcare workers in California could soon see a boost in their hourly pay thanks to a new wage hike signed into law this week. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Friday securing a higher minimum wage that labor unions have lobbied for for years. Some workers will receive a pay increase to $25 an hour.
If the health care businesses are privately - or even publicly - owned, who the fuck thinks it's okay for the government to dictate to them what they have to - by 'law' - pay their employees? Doesn't that sound like some commie shit to you? It does me, but what the fuck do I know...

I'm serious - if you come home and your wife is sitting on the couch eating bonbons and watching something like this TMZ shit, pack a bag and get the fuck outta there. And if I have this explain why to you, you're beyond hope anyway so fuck it. Stay. Your life is over anyway...

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray won’t change much for the 2024 model year. But its price will. Prices are up across the board for every Corvette model.
ya used to. Nowadays it's old fat guys who can afford 'em but shouldn't be drivin' 'em. It is pretty fuckin' funny though watching these old farts get in and out of the cars - a genuine struggle for most of 'em...

The Connected contact Their representative and tell them about how society would benefit from the Great Science they are ready to delve into. The Scientists get loads of money, the school makes bank,society gets to pay to get told what they already know and live with. If it's not a lie, it's a scam. Sometimes it's both.
ReplyDeleteThe actual SCIENCE that we know is somehow still up for debate. If what is absolutely Known is not being admitted and Used to guide policy,, then WTF? If anyone can look at the Fact that where the People are allowed to use our Second Amendment rights live in places where the crime rate is lower than the places where gun control is The Answer,,, why even Look for science to prove anything? Apply what we know.
"if I see any interesting or stupid shit" You are in Florida, so I'm guessing posting will up heavy not light. Have a good time and we'll be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteBack when we lived aboard our sailboat, the weekend was spent watching the Clear Lake channel. Bald, fat guys with a huge stogie in mouth and beer cans in hand driving a 750K go fast boat with three engines and a huge amount of silicone with a couple of bimbo's attached in postage stamp bikinis laying out on the bow for all to see.... They had not seen their Johnson's except in a mirror for decades... What a hoot to watch. I always wondered how they got off the dock and on the boat.
ReplyDeleteIf ice cream and potato chips are just as addictive as cocaine or heroin, I've just lost any sympathy I might have had for cocaine or heroin addicts. Because it isn't that hard, Just quit, you weak-willed losers..
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how Dana Andrews’s career took such a downward trajectory. At one time he was an “A” lister with movies like “The Oxbow Incident “ and “The Best Years of Our Lives” under his belt
ReplyDeleteya...those vettes can be hard on a 70 year old body. I gotta '77.I'm 6'3 have to fold myself to get in....but what a blast once i do....
ReplyDeleteThe price are off. The cheapest MSRP on a new Corvette is $69,995. The dealers in Atlanta are tacking an extra $10k to $15k with this version. I have a 74 Stingray convertible that has performance upgrades that more than doubled the HP of the 195hp engine to 420hp. There is not much difference in the acceleration between my 74 and a 23 LT1. The 23 Vette was a lot more comfortable. The Corvette is still the cheapest sports car in the market.
