Too much of too little
A diet fueled by food stamps is making South Texans obese but leaving them hungry

The comments to this one and others in the series are ridiculous. No joke, one person is just certain that "60 or 70 years ago" people weren't having more children than they could afford. Back before the Pill, back before Roe v Wade, I'm sure they *did*.

Regarding this article, there clearly is a huge problem in education if any mother can reason that soda and candy is a healthy choice because, well, it's diet and the candy is "fruit". That's not something you can cure just by restricting what food stamps buy, because there is no guarantee she and others in that situation will know what IS healthy, how to prepare it, and where to get it cheaply.

Like so many others now, I have seen that trailer for the film Noah.

And, you know, there are so many possible things one can say about the idea of a movie based on the story of Noah... or any of the flood stories, really, but the one thing that kept running through my mind was "are those costumes historically accurate?"

I don't know enough about the history of fashion to say, unfortunately, but seriously. Are they?
