It is possible to have a healthy calorie consumption with fast food. During college, I was able to compete in a natural bodybuilding competition by mostly eating like this.
It's all about what you choose to eat. No matter where you are.
Yeah, the fact that they included a zero-calorie soda and black coffee in the "home" meal is so heavy handed. They could've included a diet soda in any of the other meals, but they didn't.
How insulting. The author has neither respect for their readers, nor apparently belief that their editorial thesis stands on its own merits.
Most things on the dollar menu are 300 to 400 calories. 3 meals with 2 items and you're hitting around 2k calories while only spending $6 a day. Just need to give up the soda and the snacks.
Seriously. I don't think I could even eat a whole Chipotle burrito and also guacamole and chips. Chipotle has a lot of filling lunches under 500 calories. My go tos when I was young was a salad with chicken, guacamole, cheese, and salsa. The soft tacos with just meat, veggies, and cheese also keep you under 500.
The gut biome is self reinforcing. If you eat nothing but sugar (simplified example) the bacteria that thrive will be the ones that most resourcefully consume sugar. Other strains will wither away entirely or to a very insignificant state. Some, like yeast, actually kills 95% of the colony and the other 5% eat it, so it can take years to bring under control in people with immunocompromise (autoimmune disease, AIDS). If you eat nothing but fibrous vegetables (another simplified example) then your biome will be very different. And part of what makes you hungry is the nutrients the bacteria in your gut desire in order to maintain the colony. So you eat the right foods, then your body desires the right foods. You can re-program your biome to an extent by eating differently. And that goes for eating good or bad food. So I suspect (but cannot prove) that this is where the effect comes from.
An FMT jumpstarts that process, by introducing a bunch of colonists from a healthy microbiome all at once. Then you just need to nurture the new arrivals with proper diet, which you'll start to desire thanks to their influence. That's easier than changing your diet first (fighting what your microbiome wants) and hoping to pick up enough different bacteria for them to establish themselves.
That is, if I want to keep my gut biome un-optimized for absorbing calories from my diet, how often should I shift my diet from carb-heavy to protein-rich to ...
I waited to have a established career and money to pursue a Philosophy degree just for the sake of it.
Many Americans obsess about graduating in their "dream field" before they're 22. It's much better not to worry about food, roommates, books, and so forth.
Google can be a huge troublemaker in countries with weak privacy laws.
If I google my friends name, I can see their college grades, most legal occurrences (from company incorporation to lawsuits and alimony) and probably the equivalent to their SSN.
The US has remarkably weak privacy laws, does it not? As in there aren't really any laws on data retention, pseudonymization etc. let me know if I've got the wrong impression.
I know a few European cultures, most notably the Germans, make a big deal about this difference, but I'm not aware of other cultures where distinguishing between public-but-obscure and public-and-indexed is a thing.
In my opinion it's a terrible distinction to make, as it gives users false comfort about what's actually unavailable to the public.
Maybe elaborate a little bit? Its certainly an influential book. I can think of a lot of professional lessons it could contain, (I've turning the other cheek a lot at work this summer with some very abrasive folks; hard to tell how well its worked so far...) but you probably should be the one to justify it. I'm an Atheist, though culturally christian, so I won't pretend to understand it well.
The Bible provides a solid moral background for a very successful career in the long-term.
I'd ask material atheists to go beyond the realms of Genesis and focus on the true revolutions it has brought about. Go ahead and read about Rene Girard.
"Thou shall not covet or kill" is not a self-evident concept for Humanity.
Many colleagues would disagree, but I find the micromanaging attitude of CEOs to be extremely negative.
If you did your job right, you have people that are much more experienced than yourself. The only smart move is to coordinate them and, at best, give your opinion.
I don't really google "what's the best suturing technique" and demand my doctor to follow those exact instructions.
>If you did your job right, you have people that are much more experienced than yourself.
"You hired me as your UX expert. I use A/B trials, prior trials, studies, and knowledge I've pieced together over the past 20 years." The question of "What are you even paying me for if you're going to ignore my advice?" is one I'd love to ask but fear getting fired for pointing it out.
The alternative to micro-managing is asking for the impossible [0]. Which also happens frequently. I was once asked to make a transparent .jpg because .png are "too heavy". I had to explain how .jpg's work, tell them I could make it a .gif, but that the .png compressed better and would be more lightweight than the .gif. They insisted on the .jpg at which point I gave up, matched the jpg's background color to the blue background they had and saved it as a .jpg. Which turned out to still be a bigger file size than the equivalent .png.

I wish people felt this way about economics, instead of constantly voicing their "market solves everything, government is bad" opinions and trying to apply econ101 solutions to complex problems.
The problem with that is that as a CEO, you are responsible for the results. So you cannot ignore the problems just because one of your employees says it is the correct way.
My approach is to hold myself from telling the designers what to do, and instead tell them what the problem is and let them come up with a solution.
Agreed, even highly intelligent people can be completely oblivious to certain basic things or have severely skewed views of reality which may actually be worse for society than mere stupidity.
No, I think the GP is right: in order for democracy to work, a significant part of the population must understand how it works, or at least care about how it works. "Educated" does not always mean "high-income" or "high-status" -- it can also just mean what it says.
If you only go by a set of established rules, you:
- are running (part of) your government by autocratic decree.
- still risk the population rejecting your form of "democracy".
