I've never worn my speedo while tuning my car.

I'll help you with the click-thru link and an excerpt: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/apr/07/the-sugar-conspiracy-robert-lustig-john-yudkin

John Yudkin, said the scientist, was a British professor of nutrition who had sounded the alarm on sugar back in 1972, in a book called Pure, White, and Deadly.

“If only a small fraction of what we know about the effects of sugar were to be revealed in relation to any other material used as a food additive,” wrote Yudkin, “that material would promptly be banned.” The book did well, but Yudkin paid a high price for it. Prominent nutritionists combined with the food industry to destroy his reputation, and his career never recovered. He died, in 1995, a disappointed, largely forgotten man.

i like the part where sugar was supposedly pushed as "settled science" but the first line of the article references that dude from the sugarscience initiative at UCSF -- a publicly funded effort by a publicly paid professor at a major public institution. the actual problem here is the gulf between food science in industry and academic medicine on campus. don't confuse the two, especially if you're going to blame the latter for the sins of the former.

and the actual question here is whether you think public institutions should have greater role in public policy or if we should be leaving these sorts of things to private industry because gumbint=bad or something. your conservatism is leading you to the exact wrong conclusion, where you want to solve lack of public oversight with even less public oversight. if you want government nutrition to be more academic, well then (drumroll) give academia greater voice than the food industry lobbyists.

whoops, sorry, that involves taxes. never mind.

I don't work for the Guardian, nor did I freelance that article. I was just helping my good friend Corndog by adding context to his previous post.

and i was responding to the article you posted.

I am feeling very disappointed with an older gentleman who I used to consider a very morally solid local businessman and a good friend. He is 30 years older then I am but I have always considered him to have very valid opinions and appreciated his experiences.

A while back, a guy my age beat the hell out of his 2nd wife. He didn't just smack her, they had been drinking in a local bar and had drove separate and he was pushing her around in the bar. When they got home, he T-Boned her car with his truck and pushed it almost 65 feet into an LP tank and then proceeded to beat her for 45 minutes including bashing her head in to their bathroom sink and she spent several days in the hospital.

My friend, was trying to convince me to hire this guy, to give him a 2nd chance (well actually a 4th chance since he beat his first wife until she left and this is the 3rd time with this wife and those are only the times that have been reported). I understand that this friend of mine was close friends with this dick bags Dad but told him there was no fucking way that I would hire him.

I guess I should be thankful that this older guy dropped it right away but then again, I was very emphatic about not wanting anything to do with this guy. He did say that he only gets that way when he drinks, I just said, maybe he shouldn't drink then. Seriously if that was my pass time when I was drinking, I would never touch a drop of alcohol again in my life.

It might be a generational thing, domestics are a big problem in my area, they are tolerated and rarely a topic of conversation until charges are filed and even then, life carries on as if nothing happened. It is getting better, people my age are less accepting and this particular guy is getting bashed as well he should be but the older folks around here usually go with "shit happens" or "he seems like a decent guy otherwise".

A feminist would say the opposite thing and be super pissed at me for thinking that they need special protection from assault.
