(I kind of think people should eat whatever they want and people who don't want to eat that way should mind their own damn business. If the Paleo diet makes you happy, go for it. If living off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches makes you happy, eat that instead. Nobody with enough privilege to choose a diet that has a name is going to die of malnutrition.)

IO9 has an article on Google easter eggs, so I tested if the 'askew' one still works, and now I feel nauseous...

She was miserable and tired and sick. It wasn't just "eating less and losing some weight", it was eating in this particular way that helped her.

Fair enough, that makes sense. The earlier shorthand did not. Thanks for the clarification! (and why did I think it was 'Suela who posted the original thing I was quoting? Dunno.)

I would like to sleep.

thank you.

I dunno, it's only privileged people who starve themselves to death in the midst of plenty out of obsessive fear of being fat.

Well, they might not die of malnutrition specifically, but they could certainly fuck up their lives in nutrition-related ways.

All I figure is--you choose to eat it? Own the choice. If that means you die in a month of malnutrition? Own the choice.

(I am proceeding with the assumption that anorexia nervosa, et al, are not choices)

Agreed theoretically except for the huge health costs related to unhealthy eating of all stripes that we all pay for.

I think due diligence extends as far as education and availability, and after that, it's like any other health risk consenting adults take upon themselves--our lot as a nation.

Tumblr just managed to bum me the fuck out (flippantly speaking). They definitely aren't the sort of stuff that's appropriate for goodstuff, although the news in each of them is eventually good--it's just the need is bad:

• Basically the pink sari junta
• A personal story of surviving reproductive coercion--following the links in that entry gets you to some stats I wasn't aware of.

In totally other topics, I wonder if Order and Chaos Muppets would map to Scully and Mulder.

I imagine the Crossfit helped a great deal as well. There's lots of evidence that healthy habits help the people engaged in them become healthier.
