Good to know!
I did not say anything about cancer. I said migraine.
There is no way for me to know if you are an expert or an otherwise trustworthy source of information on this topic. You are a random person on the internet, who did not cite any sources. I should not automatically believe any explanation you offer.
There is no need to be condescending.
Well, aspartame is a sure fire way to give me a migraine, so I don’t believe your explanation.
I’m not sure voting by default to one party is a consequence of registering with that party. Maybe some psychological effect.
I’d say the main cause is the fact there are only two parties to choose from, so unless you are a moderate (or these days right-moderate) it is just a waste of time looking at candidates and their policies beyond party affiliation.
The related issue is this: in some places in america, the primaries are run by the parties. So you can only vote for canidates (within a party) in the primaries IF you register with that party. In some races the primaries are the important part, because everyone knows which party will win the main election, so who gets the party nomination is basically the undecided part.
Have you spent time in rural or poor areas or the US? Try eating the local food. It’s not good. As an american who moved abroad, I can say american food is just shockingly low quality. High fat and/or high sugar, lots of highly processed food. Very common attitude that “I have never and will never like vegetables”. I mean I’d expect some people live off a diet like sugary cereal, soda, milk, wonder bread, mac and cheese, mayo, ground beef, eggs, candy, fries, pizza, etc. Keep in mind the most common vegetable that americans eat is the potato.
That being said, it is absolutely not the individuals fault for being obese. I’m convinced there are effects that are hormonal, chemical polutants, or epigenetics that push the population to being fatter. The lack of education, and knowledge of how people live in other parts of the world does not help either.
Well, maybe typical for you and a subset of Americans. We wore shoes in the house as kids; we only took them off if they were clearly muddy.
I think your priorities are in the wrong place. Some women die if they can’t get an abortion.
I’m trying to do the same thing. I don’t know if the room settings need much tweeking. But the biggest obsticle is having family members download, install, create an account, join a space/room, and change app/account settings, without my physical presence to help them with the process.
Buy a bicycle or electric bicycle.
If you go vegan or even vegetarian for a short amount of time (probably a month or 40 days like some recommend), you won’t “love” meat anymore. It’s a combination of the body liking the foods that you regularly feed it, and that your mind will justify your actions. You may remember liking meat even long after giving it up, but many people never go back to eating meat nonetheless.
