The only thing shocking here is that he's openly admitting he won't keep his promises.

Try explaining that to the typical Republican party voter, though. All they know is "Obamacare BAD!" because that's the message that has been pumped into their brains non-stop for the last 10 years. When you actually start explaining the specific things that the ACA established they'll say, "Oh yeah, that seems like a really good thing, we should do that!" They don't understand that ACA and Obamacare are the same thing.

We are inundated with these sort of low-information voters who don't understand how their representatives are literally screwing them over while blaming the other side for all their woes.

But that's potentially OUR money!!!

Sure sure. As with anything, moderation is key. But for a while there all the "health" influencers were making it out to be a super healthy option and telling people to put it in practically everything.

They aren't even that good. They just put unusual toppings on "okay" donuts.

An emulsion like mayonnaise is not a pure fat, though. It's a mixture of different fats (both saturated and poly-unsaturated) and water. The mixture is stabilized by emulsifying agents like lecithin that interact with both the fats and the water. When all theses ingredients are blended together with enough force they create an arrangement that is semi-solid at room temperature, yes. But you can't compare that fairly to a pure fat. If you try, you're missing the point.

That said, mayo is a great replacement for butter in some situations. Try spreading a little on bread before toasting it in a hot skillet.

Nope. Coconut oil is really high in saturated fat. It's bad. The fact that it went through a phase where people were considering it a "healthy" fat had actual nutritionists raging.

Until some regulatory agency fines them to the degree that it actually hurts their bottom line, they have no incentive to do better. You can't appeal to the morality of a corporation. As a business, they only respond to numbers.

Honestly, the biggest issue with this one was that we had a bunch of food in the fridge, including our Thanksgiving turkey, and no idea when the power would be back on. I was able to run a bunch of stuff down to my parents' house in Olympia, where they still had power. It has made me consider getting a small emergency generator with enough power to run our fridge, freezer, and furnace.

I'm sorry to report, Ms. Bryant is not dead. She just hasn't been very publicly active since the late 90s. Also, her granddaughter came out as gay and got married to her partner a few years ago. It's a little harder to be publicly self-righteous when even your own family doesn't conform to your beliefs.
