"sugar used to be a prescription-controlled substance"
This may become true in New York, the way things are going.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

I met Beau online. We met in 1999 and we are still together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And here's my question about the Bloomberg soda thing: You could still buy a 2-liter bottle, right?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, the new rules would just apply to restaurants, not stores.

Oh yeah, and the OTHER thing! 7-11 is a grocery store, but the corner deli is a restaurant???
Oh, New York.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the person *did* provide citations.
Of sugar being distributed in apothecaries because it had later-disproved medicinal qualities.
Uh? Your point was that it was dangerous so it was a controlled substance. YOUR WORDS SAID THAT. Your links do not.
(They gave another link that proves (PROVES) a diet of only sugar and water was unhealthy--so if I need a real live example of a straw man, I know where to find it now)
I can't argue against you if you don't even try to have a point.
And then I usually want to punch them in the neck.
Yup, pretty much where I am. But it was the paleo diet article comments, so it was guaranteed to have people with...beliefs posting.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Organizing the liquid nitrogen freezer for our lab(which involves much pulling up of freezer racks from a chest-high freezer) is not doing much to help with my shoulder/upper back pain. Still, it must be done...

I've been sneered at -- in person -- by paleo people that my eating gluten-free is a "fad" and if I want to lose weight paleo is the only "real" way to do it.
I described the gastrointestinal horror that happens when I don't adhere to my "fad" diet, and informed them that I wasn't doing it to lose weight. (When I told them that I wasn't trying to lose weight -- since I embody the deathfatz OMGOBESITYEPIDEMIC [speaking of something that can be disproven with actual hard data] -- the wife of the couple actually looked like I said I eat babies. Which I would think would be totally paleo.)
In conclusion(s): people can be dicks, and babies are probably a safe paelo entree.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, sure, as long as they're not processed babies.
