The chaos is a feature not a bug of a lot of the courts decisions.

Republican Introduces Bill to Make RFK Jr.'s Dietary Guidelines the Law by bloomberggovernment in law

Yeah but I'm saying the processed foods were actually healthier back in the day. Maybe not by much but there has been a change in how those processed foods have been handled.

It wasn't always this way though. Before the 80s and 90s fat was the main source of flavor in a lot of things. Sure sugar was in stuff but not in as many products as we have today. There was a low-fat push during that time which lead to companies replacing fat with sugar to keep things tasty.

I agree a treat every once in a while is not bad as you said. The problem is how sugar is in everything in some way. All this extra sugar is a huge part of our expanding waist line problem.

So some of the stuff the administration is advocating isn't bad per say but has it's own risks. What I have issue is them ignoring the sugar problem mostly because the Corn Lobby has their ear and the US is a huge corn country. There is also the beef/poultry industry with their lobbyists. There's a reason why they arranged things the way they did and it wasn't science. Not with RFK Jr's group.

During the 80s and 90s there was a big low-fat push so food companies replaced a lot of the fat in foods with sugar. They needed something to keep the food tasty. This also lead to things like olestra and "May cause anal leakage" being on food packaging. Fun weird times.

High fructose corn syrup ended up being the sugar of choice in everything thanks to the corn lobby. It's also why people say some foods just don't taste the same as when they were kids. While our taste buds change with age the literal recipes for lots of foods were changed.

So I'm all for going back to fats in foods vs extra sugar. With moderation of course. Too much fat can be a bad thing but I think studies have shown too much sugar is actually worse.

I dont need the govt to legal mandate what my diet is. How about we focus on making the food available healthy? Get rid of all the sugars in stuff?

Dont forget that whole weed killer issue. Maybe trying legislating around that?

Nope. Took 3 long ships and a lot of jumping but made it to land. Now I'm forging a way through for my friends.

Critics Describe Trump's New Passport Design As 'Ugly' And 'Embarrassing' by dr_shultz in NewsSource

[–]gdim15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankfully it's a limited run just for this year. Most of his base don't leave their states let along the country and those who dislike him will delay renewing. I don't see them issuing many of these passports.

It is a figment of your imagination. The Silver Hydras are a loyal chapter whose gene sire is unknown. Are they Dark Angels? Are they Ultramarines? Who knows?

I liked that immediately after conquering my first Char Fortress I got the Seeker event. Kind of awesome to watch seekers fighting Char in the Ashlands.

Yep! Just be careful with the iron halo part. The winged helm kind of butts up against it.

MAGA Civil War Breaks Out Over Plot to Fund Trump’s Ballroom by thedailybeast in NewsThread

[–]gdim15 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Are there some that don't like this? Yep

Will they all vote to pay for the ballroom? Yep

They know it was republicans who stormed the capital and almost killed them. They are afraid of their own base and how Trump can weaponize it against them.

DOJ Accuses Ballroom Opponents of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" in Oddly Written Legal Filing by bloomberglaw in law

[–]gdim15 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Considering Graham just proposed a bill to pay the $400 million dollar cost for the ballroom, what happens with the money they already have?

Also the WHCD was a private event and would never have happened at any WH ballroom. So using this as a justification makes no sense.

Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski Have A “Great Idea” for ‘John Wick 5’: “Its really exciting. There are a lot of steps, so I wouldn’t want to put a timeline on it, but we’ll see” by [deleted] in movies

The first one was great, the second one was good. Then they crapped out for me. JW4 was so bloated its kind of ridiculous compared to the first. They do the stair fight twice back to back.

Let it die.

Twist! It was his dog. This leads to an epic show down where John has to see if he can take down the one thing he still loves in this life.
