Since Fourier suggested sun light is likely trapped within the Earth’s atmosphere back in the 1820s others began digging into it. John Tyndall showed in the 1860s C02 from coal was especially good at trapping heat.

Fears of MSG were started in a food lab as a racist bet/joke.

Propaganda research during wars was gifted to University rather than let the spending “go to waste”. We’ve been indoctrinated by advertising, marketing, as the move from fear of sky wizards to fear of national economic collapse became the new cudgel.

The Greeks wrote about hoping the masses never tried to check the top of Olympus. It was easy enough to keep the non-technical masses in check over C02 and the rest.

Let’s build more data centers for our start ups. Surely that has no environmental impact!

I’m hopeful now that our fear based flock management has shifted from complete nonsense to at least economic nonsense, making it tangible, we’ll start to collectively accept reality. All that energy doesn’t vanish it just goes elsewhere. All that debt isn’t real; it’s what we’ve been told to believe by the latest system of social control.

MSG is harmless, chinese food syndrome is a hoax. https://news.colgate.edu/magazine/2019/02/06/the-strange-cas...

Yes, exactly.

My reply was to a post highlighting when we’ve been lied to. I was just piling wood on the fire.

Saturated fat turns out to be entirely harmless; it turns out that ills blamed on sat fat are caused by sugar and by ... something else ... that is in American-farmed meat.

Think of sugar (the fructose in sugar) as a poison. Your liver can neutralize any of myriad poisons at a strictly limited rate, fructose among them. So, choose consciously how much of each poison you want to eat, according to the load on your liver. Fructose and alcohol use the same pathway, so choose wisely.

Americans eat way more fructose than their livers can neutralize, and are dying from it in numbers that make COVID-19 look like the common cold. The autopsies don't say "died of sugar poisoning". Instead, they say heart disease, stroke, obesity, complications from diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension... But it's mostly the sugar.

Something else?

Research into what about meat consumption in the US causes heart trouble, on top of the known sugar problem, has just started. About all we are sure of, so far, is that the sat fat isn't it.
