Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
New study out of UCSF contends it's sugar, not obesity causing chronic illness.
I just went to a diabetes awareness event the other day and the leaps of correlation were just breathtaking. I tried to be charitable and think that since Type 2 Diabetes is such an issue in LA and growing so fast, authorities are just trying to get people's attention. But, my word- the fat shaming.
But, my word- the fat shaming.
Oh, god yes.
I went to one, though, that was wonderful. The presenter was diabetic and she was guzzling down diet Coke. Someone said that aspertame (or whatever's in it) was bad for you. The presenter said, "Do you know who funded the study that said it was bad for you? The Sugar Council. And they fed pounds of the stuff to rats. Don't consume pounds of the stuff, and you should be OK."
Of course diet Coke has phosphoric acid, which is doing nasty things to my bones, so I'm screwed anyway.

How can I get to Austin to attend this? Why don't we have an Alamo Drafthouse here?
... to be fair, there are now two separate groups trying to revive the Parkway Theater. Surely one of them will be successful?
The misinformation about sugar and diabetes is rage-inducing.
Has anyone seen my motiviation? I have a shit-ton of work to do--all proposals with hard deadlines--and I don't wanna.
My apathy for this job surprises even me.
I sort of wish I had a copy of my last blood work, so the next time I see "fat people can't be healthy" or any kind of fat shaming" I can show them my numbers.
My cholesterol levels are great, I'm not at risk for diabetes, and my blood pressure has never been high. It's usually in the low range.
... to be fair, there are now two separate groups trying to revive the Parkway Theater. Surely one of them will be successful?
I don't know about the other group, but the New Parkway is a go. It'll be opening this year in Uptown (474 24th St).
Isn't Alamo Drafthouse the place that evicted a patron for having her cellphone on during the show and she called in a complaint that was all over the web?
And I'm currently wrestling with DNS changes and Network Solutions. dog help me (also ceiling cat and any techno~ma available)

Yep.

I saw that article in the Chron, but I am skeptical until it actually happens. Also, parking in that area is a problem, IME.
