Man oh man, that's scary

 Netflix fans threaten to 'cancel subscription' over 'mind-boggling' twin documentary

A 'scary' new Netflix documentary that aims to see what happens if you feed identical twins a different diet even though they are genetically the same has divided fans

Others called the new show, which dropped just in time for Veganuary, “vegan propaganda” with one fuming: “Very biased, totally against the meat industry, they would rather see us eating pounds of vegetables sprayed with horrible amounts of chemicals. This documentary is so wrong. Eating cleaner is much more important.”

So, I started to watch this documentary, and got nauseated. For two reasons. It is definitely anti-meat, pro vegan propaganada.

BUT... it also will scare the shit out of you when you see what the meant industry does to cows and pigs and chickens and what you are putting into your bodies.

See the scary trailer here:

So, how did I, your favorite Snowflake, react? I know all the science behind eating meats vs just a vegetarian diet. Well, not KNOW exactly, but have read about it all. Trouble is, I can change my habits but ain't gonna total go vegan, no way no how.

I have already cut out red meat except for the odd hamburger. Eat plenty of chicken and fish still. Have cut way down on cheese and was never much of a milk drinker anyways.

For me, the boogyman is carbs. Trying my best to cut back on potatoes and pasta. Eating more rice. Brown rice, but not wild rice, just can't take the taste.

One way or another, I will live as long as I am going to live, is my mantra. I can cut back on some stuff for sake of weight control.

BUT enough about me. I like to hear from you all. YOUR diet. YOUR attitudes towards food. Your attitudes towards someone trying to convince you to be a vegetarian or vegan. 

Are you, as the TV series suggests, WHAT YOU EAT?

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
