Extinction

Missed it

I'll see if it is on iPlayer.

I was watching 'Forbidden Planet' again my favourite old sci fi movie from the 1950s basically Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'

There is a chain of stores in the UK named Forbidden Planet after that movie, this one is in London I popped in when I went down to visit my daughter last year as her fiancée likes a lot of the modelling and games they sell, they sell books and comics as well.

I've made the point on here in past about the relationship between encroaching on environments and the potential for zoonotic jumps.

The message is certainly not wasted on me.

There is not a hope in hell that I would ever go vegan, but the above is one study that says fewer of them die overall, it won't be the whole story but neither will recommendations for high fat diets.

I've started watching it but I had to go to the supermarket so I'm watching again.

I don't agree I am finding other recent studies stating that is not as simple as this and I'm not talking about Framingham or the Ancel Keys or other ancient studies, it's not necessarily a one size fits all and I don't think this is by any means settled, I agree that it is working for a lot of people but I am not prepared at this point to say it is the precise answer for everyone without exception.

'clicked on' makes it feel like a cult mate

And a question, is that report in the NIH link wrong then it's published in 2013, and if so why?

It was a very good documentary but most people who had looked into this to any real extent would have been aware of almost all of it already.

I would love to be optimistic but watching 30 years of people denying the science has beat most of the optimism out of me, you have countries like the USA where it has become the privilege of the layman to ignore anything that does not fit with how he feels he wants things to be, a world were something like nearly half of Americans are science deniers, reality deniers.

No for me all the optimism has been kicked out of me, and I am now private Frazer 'We're all Doomed'.

I find the Americans totally ignorant on a variety of things.
History, Geography, social awareness/cohesion and a total lack of a national culture, as they rely themselves on imported cultures through the various European nationalities of migrants that moved there over the centuries.
Schools, Colleges and Universities, teach individuality and self achievement = selfishness
They fervently believe in snake oil salesmen, charlatans, TV healers and the Kardashians way of life.
The only true american culture is gun culture.

I am not ranting yet, so I better cut it short..............

By the way, I am now, due to my age, legally entitled to be grumpy and obnoxious.
