Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

The UN climate models have always predicted rises in the polar bear population so this is more proof of global warming, just as the current Arctic blast the US is undergoing proves global warming. If you need further proof of global warming, my niece was involved in a fender bender yesterday as a driver making a right turn on red ignored the fact that she was making a left on the green arrow on the opposite side of the intersection. Now if that isn't proof of global warming, I don't know what it would take to convince you filthy transphobic white supremacist climate deniers.
Jerryskids: The UN climate models have always predicted rises in the polar bear population
Some subpopulations of polar bears are under significant stress, while others have recovered from earlier declines. 'Despite warnings from public-health and media “experts,” the seasonal return of respiratory viruses doesn’t justify the reimposition of Covid-era controls.'
My brother tested positive earlier this week and we were supposed to have Christmas at his house. I'm one of the very few purebloods in the family. Needless to say, I hope some of the local movie theaters are open Sunday. NAACP President why the hate?
Because Trump freed so many blacks from the NAACP/Democrat plantation. That's why the Democrats are pushing reparations so hard to try to buy back their voters. Free the J6 demonstrators. Re: child obesity.
It is important to understand that child obesity is increasing primarily because of immigration. Most immigrants from those countries that are flooding our border are genetically prone to obesity and diabetes. THAT is the problem and that is difficult to fix. Those children born to descendants of Europe are still the skinny little kids they always were. Except some of the Poles and others from Eastern Europe are bigger and playing football . And the descendants of Swedes are the blonde cheerleaders and the descendants of Germans and English are taking college classes and not playing football. Nothing's changed except the ethnic make up of America. Note to wanna be scientists; don't make public policy on misunderstood statistical data. OneGuy: Those children born to descendants of Europe are still the skinny little kids they always were.
That is not correct. While non-Hispanic whites have generally lower rates of obesity compared to Blacks or Hispanics, they have suffered a substantial increase in obesity over the last few decades. See Freedman, Obesity --- United States, 1988--2008, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) 2011. BullShit !
You either intentionally or out of ignorance choose that time period where we changed from the old hieght, age, weight, gender measurement to BMI which automatically doubled the number of people called obese. I am taking about children. Not late teens, not 20 somethings who are experiencing more weight problems. No worries the WEF has plans to fix all our weight problems. But most children born to people here whose parents and grandparents came from Europe are still skinny as kids. While most people from an African, Mexican, Central and some of South America are having fat kids. It is genetic. The scientific "sin" is to lump them all together and declare that we a re all getting fatter and it must be something in the water/food or something. When we know exactly what it is; there are more people in the U.S. now that have descended from groups that are genetically overweight. The thing is, that the scientists and activists know this BUT it serves their agenda to try to make it appear that we are all getting fat therefore we must declare an emergency which will justify us forcing you to do something or other. Having said all that. I just cam back from a shopping trip at the mall and I commented to my wife that everyone is fat! I hasten to add I was shopping in Phoenix and almost everyone is NOT descended from Europeans but never the less everyone was fat. And it was made far worse because all the fat women seem to prefer skin tight pants. My god! I didn't know they made pants that tight and that strong. The desire to break out was very strong with some of those fat asses. You can't "unsee" that shit. My theory is that the really fat women wear the skin tight jeans because it hide the cottage cheese look of their ass by stretching it tight. Can you imagine, it must look like a topographic map of the moon.
[blockquote]the scientists and activists know this[/blockquote]
I feel like that’s a pretty bold claim. There’s not a whole lot of scientific rigor in the social sciences. OneGuy: You either intentionally or out of ignorance choose that time period where we changed from the old hieght, age, weight, gender measurement to BMI which automatically doubled the number of people called obese.
Such a change would affect not just non-Hispanic whites, but everyone. However, while the definition of overweight was changed in 1998, the definition of obesity was not. You had claimed that European Americans are "still the skinny little kids they always were." But that wasn't correct. In addition, the rate of obesity in England has nearly doubled over the last generation. That contradicts your genetic claim. "That contradicts your genetic claim."
Actually it supports it because the number of immigrants in England now exceed the native English in most cities. Again you are randomly conflating shit in the hopes of saving your claim. I did not claim that adults cannot choose to gain too much weight in spite of their genes. I specifically referred to children not adults. OneGuy: Actually it supports it because the number of immigrants in England now exceed the native English in most cities.
England is 87% white. The change in demographics can't explain the doubling of the rate of obesity. Childhood obesity is also increasing, in England and among non-Hispanic white Americans. FBI Responds To ‘Twitter Files’
QUOTE: "It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency." https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-responds-to-twitter-files Why do people in the federal government feel like it's their job to tell people what to eat anyway? The feds should concentrate on military defense and highway maintenance, and leave the rest alone.
