Trans fat is a fairly easy case, but given food's paramount importance for health, it should tell us something of the potentials for our health.

Banning the production of partially hydrogenated oils (a major source of trans fat in many countries) is most effective.

#climatechange is not humanity's greatest challenge, humanity itself is. (Conflict, self-interest, stupidity)

Dealing with climate change is the cost effective and optimum choice, but the scale and inpersonality of the problem makes the issue very tricky.

The War on Gaza, creating mass killing, in effect supported by the leader of the West, USA - perpetrated by a fairly well functioning democracy.

I try to understand the dilemmeas and plight Israel has to contend with - there are of course legitimate fears of enabling a hostile force within and along its borders.

How come they are still given two serves in #Tennis? Doesn't make any sense to me. (the more aces and almost aces - the less of the interesting long rallies)

If you die in the first serve, you should at least do something completely different afterwards, I would think.

Mange farligere ting i samfunnet er tillatt enn #Cannabis, og de skadelige effektene av kriminalisering er betydelige.

#QuantumMechanics
Is reality unknowable. In the small detail, yes, as quantum mechanics tells us.
But the effect is epistemological also, and you doubt whether any concept at all could carry any reality. It's not that realism wholesale is dead or that it proves postmodernism, but still.

From the article:
"The idea that "maybe the neutron is only traveling on one of the two paths, we just don't know which one" has thus been refuted."
