Speaking of which, the obesity epidemic is also largely, if not completely, the fault of capitalist mucking with science. You know the famous USDA food pyramid? The one which didn't just set down US government health standards, but shaped the entire world's cultural habits regarding alimentation? The sugar lobby paid off the scientists in order to go easy on carbs, so they made fats the big villain. The end result: worldwide obesity epidemic. And that wasn't even the only influence of lobbying in the making of the pyramid.

And don't get me started on the pharmaceutical industry. That alone is reason enough to burn everything down to the ground. For starters, we already have extremely effective drugs for autism and depression, but tough shit because they're not profitable. Too cheap and effective, you see.

I would have thought a greater shift to sedentary and less physical lifestyles as well as access to higher calorie cheap foods played a larger part than just promoting one food group at the expense of another. People can lose weight on a diet of McDonalds if they are active enough.

[Anonymous No.11158871]

>>11158649
That's certainly a factor, but the bulk of this shift to sedentarism preceded these past 3 decades. As far as I can see, the only significant increase in sedentarism in that time frame would be the shift of jobs from industry to service sector, but that too precedes the obesity epidemic.

When it comes down to brass tacks, capitalists have a direct profit motive to get us to consume as much as possible, and that, obviously, includes food products. And, conveniently, it creates a new market, for weight loss. It would be a classic case of creating a problem to sell the solution, except the problem itself is also sold.

Oh theres no doubt I will homeschool my kids if I have the choice. The only way I see myself having the time to do that though, is if my future wife is able to stay at home and teach my curriculum or if I make enough money to not have to work during the day. Both options seem like moonshots.

James Watson to me is the most obvious sign that current scientific community is fucked by political biases

[Anonymous No.11159102]

>>11158931
And I agree 100%. Fighting depression, however, requires an emergency measure of sorts. Even if a depressive person isn't a suicide risk, they're just plain not fully themselves, you know? Whatever might be the cause, they're wasting time and opportunities they wouldn't if only the depression wasn't there. They live life by half. And the nature of the disease is such that they lack the motivation to improve in the first place, let alone fix the root cause, and that's assuming it can be located. They just plain need to get kickstarted. You can't teach a man to fish if he would starve before he can complete the lesson.

The scientists who studied lead poisoning, nutritional science, effects of smoking, etc. actually had piles of data and studies behind their claims
You can't compare that to Watson's handwaving "it's obvious if you just look at the facts". Let him produce a paper laying out his argument, like everyone else. Until then, nothing of value was lost

I didn't call him a crank anon. He's a great scientist. Please don't strawman, it's a bad look for you.
I'm saying he still has to write up his argument, just like everyone else does.
When his research team introduced us to DNA, they officially published their findings, they didn't just run around to TV shows and tabloids waving their hands about how the evidence is all around us.

>>11160839
>you're just a science denier
No, it's the opposite. You're the one denying the necessity of scientific rigor. I'm the one asking for it.
It's not some ridiculous, unprecedented order. Let him formally present his data and conclusions. Until then, he hasn't actually made an argument.

If you have a wife and you barely make enough money to survive, theres a good chance that wife with leave and take the kids (and what little money you have). Obviously I'm not at a point in my life where I'm thinking of settling down, but when I know it's not going to be as easy as "drop everything and focus on your kid". You cant be a dad and not have a job, and it's very hard to have a job flexible enough or to have enough passive income to allow you the time to homeschool your kids for years.

Same thing happened to the guy who wrote about sugar being the real killer, he got defamed by a celebrity (((nutritionist))) paid by the sugar corporations.

A couple of weeks ago a (((scientist))) was talking on CNN about how vaping is totally harmless and the poor corporation that manufacture such products are actually a force of good, that they are saving us from tobacco companies.

We should totally listen to the scientist, their integrity knows no bounds and they would never sell out to monetary interest.
