Health Food Stores Are Making You Fat

Health Food Stores Are Making You Fat

Aug 21 2012 | comment(s)

The food business, including those claiming to be superior because they are selling organic or 'health' products, is still business.  They exist to lure you in and make you buy as much stuff as possible.

Toward that goal, food stores that frame themselves as 'healthy' use every trick they learn from conventional grocery stores to get you to open your wallet - but the more you buy, the more you eat and the fatter you get, no matter how healthy you think it is.  If you don't eat what you buy, you are being a big, wasteful, landfill-filling Republican.

Science 'consensus' is a dirty word to the environmental community - some of the time.  

When it comes to global warming, the science consensus is accurate but when it comes to food, biologists are in the control of Big Business and government lobbyists and the science consensus is out to kill us.

Weekend Science: Alcohol Makes People More Social

Aug 18 2012 | comment(s)

Urban legend says that alcohol is a social icebreaker - and we want to believe, given our preference for commercials where impossibly attractive young people converge on some beach and all have a fantastic time, which is in contrast to actual beer gatherings where a lot of fights and arrests occur.(1)

Cap And Trade For Water Will Hurt Poor, Minorities Most - Of Course

Cap And Trade For Water Will Hurt Poor, Minorities Most - Of Course

Aug 17 2012 | comment(s)

Whenever 'the poor' and 'minorities' are invoked in the same headline, it's good to set your skepticism filter extra low or you will likely never get through the first paragraph of an article (umm, including this one) because the issue is rarely science or even policy, it is instead advocacy.(1)
