I'd love to see more research on this, I just wonder who would actually do it.

For people that like to eat healthy, how do you feel about eating something as processed as the "beyond burger?" I get that it's nice to have another option but to me it's hard for me to stomach the ingredients especially with canola being the third ingredient.

Walnuts also have a lot of Omega 6 which will lessen the conversion of Omega 3 into useable forms.

I'm not totally familiar with the placebo process. Are there anyways you could throw off the process like having the placebo doctors be really mean and the drug doctors be really nice? Is everything completely randomized in terms of people that are taking the drugs? IE if there was a magic formula for determining that an individual is more likely to respond positively to placebos could they pick those people?

It is interesting to me that the three areas main areas in America that have become exponentially more expensive are healthcare, construction, and education. It's curious that they have the most government control.

Population studies seem to be pretty useless unless there is a massive effect ie smoking. .05 increased relative risk was the same for the red meat colon cancer paper.

Your cholesterol can balance out over time, might be worth trying for a longer time and seeing if it goes back down. It's also worth trying to reduce your dairy consumption to see if that makes a difference.

Insulin is incredibly expensive and is manufactured by some of the companies making these devices. I wonder how much less insulin people use with these devices?

1. For children mac and cheese tastes better (and a lot of adults). It's highly palatable. 2. Rice and beans are cheaper but are small bags of rice and canned beans cheaper than some other highly palatable thing that's easier to make? (It takes a lot more time to make dried beans). 3. Decision fatigue- it's really hard to make healthier decisions when you're poor, overworked, and tired. When you go to the grocery store I'm sure your looking for something that will quickly release some dopamine. 4. America has a pretty sad food culture and while they're might be some amazing asian or Mexican grocery stores with good cheap stuff, a lot of non recent immigrant people have super negative stereotypes about these types of places.
