    PepsiCo to rebrand Lay's, Tostitos without artificial dyes, flavors

    I would guess its somewhat better? Still seems like its in that metabolic junk zone of foods American like to eat all the time. I can get unbearably scoldy on the Americans on this topic.

    PepsiCo to rebrand Lay's, Tostitos without artificial dyes, flavors

    This alerts me to something weird. You sort of imply that food could fit one of two categories: a. garbage food and b. "health food" What about just normal "food" that isnt super refined and packed with addictive levels of fats and sugars? Calling it "health food" implies that its off in its...

    PepsiCo to rebrand Lay's, Tostitos without artificial dyes, flavors

    Im skeptical that anyones cutting calories in half for the same size servings in a way that appeals to our garbage food connoisseur gaming friends. Thats a pretty colossal serving size. So Im not so surprised. Incrementally better is better of course. But watch for them to lie about this...

    House Passes Trump-Backed Rescissions Package Slashing $9 BILLION in Bloated Spending — FOREIGN AID, NPR, and PBS on the Chopping Block — Two Republic

    It seems like a lot of Christians think those sentiments are inauthentic and were inserted in to the Bible for devious ideological purposes.

    America Doesnt Want More Children

    Heres a picture from my Kyushu bike tour. Apparently the stuffed figures in the abandoned school window were placed there by older people so the whole place doesnt feel so empty. Between low birth rates and migration to urban areas many parts of rural Japan do feel a bit sad and lonely.

    Well the young will still be there. Just less of them.

    America Doesnt Want More Children

    I'm a big fan of small single family lots/homes. Unfortunately most jurisdictions are not.

    239K in L.A. for an average 2br house? People would murder each other for that today. Figuratively speaking.

    America Doesnt Want More Children

    Also I wonder if there is a "Christian position" on this? I mean, its says be fruitful and multiply in Genesis. But that is just the kind of thing wed expect God to say when theres but a handful of people across the whole earth. I would expect the directions to be different once we've gotten...

    America Doesnt Want More Children

    To my mind, the world couldnt bear the previous high birth rates forever. But the prospect of de-population brings its own problems, mainly economic. I think we can handle these. But there will be some suffering and disappointment as a result.

    America Doesnt Want More Children

    Oh I completely agree. People are feeling the economics of having children quite explicitly. I just mention climate because its a little less at the forefront of consciousness, yet it generates a background unease that underlies everything.

    Trump suggests he’ll release Jeffrey Epstein ‘client list’ if elected: ‘I’d have no problem with it’

    Trump utterly fails to understand how much fun and entertainment he's denying a good chunk of his base by telling them to move on. Its like pulling out the trip to Disneyland that you promised the kids. Taking them out for an ice cream isnt going to make up for it.
