This, seriously. Look at any frozen meal (which many people eat for lunch, or even breakfast or dinner). They have like 40% of your daily salt intake, and that's the healthy ones. The unhealthy ones are like 60-70%. And then there's fast food. Since this is the most recent one I've looked up, I'll use it as an example. Pizza Hut has these pasta dishes you can get. Family size is 2 of the dishes, so 4 servings total for $10 (on Tuesdays, anyway, plus you get breadsticks which I didn't look up the stats on). Each serving has 70-90% of your daily sodium intake. It's ridiculous.

Former Israeli Premier Assails Netanyahu on Iran
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/30/wo...u-on-iran.html Another one against Netanyahu's way about Iran and Palestinian. The reaction of the audience to this didn.t really surprised me thought.

I admit I'm pretty new-TV illiterate. Mostly because I currently don't have a TV and haven't had one in about 4 year. My last one was CRT. All I can say is that both TVs were identical, and playing the exact same scene of Battle: Los Angeles, yet the one on the left looked "normal" and the one on the right was clearer/brighter, causing the effects to really stand out and look fake. It almost had a daytime soap look to it. It wasn't just me and my friend seeing this. The entire group that had gathered around (10+ people) were all pretty much saying the same thing. Endless "TVless" Soul

The reason Americans are fat is--besides the obvious dangers of MOE --due to the fact that the majority of Americans drink soda. Soda is basically thick, flavored, corn-syrup and carbonated water. Corn-Syrup is being shown to have serious health risks.This is why so many Granolas (health freaks) who do enjoy a soda now and then (as a treat or mixed with alcohol once in a while) have taken to drinking what are called "Retro-Sodas" that contain real sugar rather than Corn-Syrup. The other culprit is the whole "Partially-Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils" and/or trans-fats. Non-processed fats are far better for the human body...doh! In short, it is once again the evil corporations (like Monsanto, ConAgra, etc.) who have found a way to feed the sheeple with whatever chemically laden victuals are cheapest to produce. And the congresscriters are more than willing to accept whatever the lobbists of these companies tell them to do, so long as the payoff helps get them re-elected to office. It is interesting to me that as Americans wake up to the fact that it is the big food corporations that are poisoning them with processed garbage, the government is clamping down on small farms using everything from child labor laws to the new "Food Safety" Act to do it.

Ah, but what grade of Solyent Green is it? There is Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Indian, a whole mess of them.
I wouldn't recommend the English grade due to reasons of taste, nor the American as its quite fatty.

Yup. A lot of their mass-transit trains have been copied directly from their Japanese and German counterparts with a few minor modifications. It takes a certain kind of audacity that only China can get away with it and call it their own "unique" technological improvement.
