It's pretty much what we already knew. The best way to halt global warming is to pick a continent and kill everyone on it. Easy peasy.

Nominating Antarctica is cheating. Besides, they've got, like, shitloads of flame throwers.

Everybody's looking at you, Asia.

Extended NYT takedown on the science behind junk foods

Really good and comprehensive piece. Would have been happy to read one that was twice as long. I know "confirmation bias" and all that, but that really does put in concrete terms things I'd vaguely known were happening; that there is a staggering amount of ingenuity and intellect applied to this stuff, to the point where cigarette executives look like pikers.

Also, I almost pissed myself laughing when I learned that Oscar Mayer is owned by Philip Morris.

Apparently satisfying crunch is anti-addictive.

If satisfaction is measured as deviance from perfection, then a smaller deviance would be more satisfying and make the equation work.

So, the ideal addictive food is salty, very fatty, not at all crunchy, and pleasant in the mouth.

... mayonnaise?

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Or a smooth/melted cheese.

Argh, I was trying desperately to forget the cheese at Five Guys.

No kidding, that was literally the worst cheese I have ever had on a burger. Even McDonald's cheese is significantly better less awful.

... what?  Cheese at Five Guys is not canned, it's sliced.

The cheese food product I had may have originally come in slice form, but it was a semi-solid eldritch horror by the time I had anything to do with it.

That shit was fucking nasty. It was like a dollar store cheeze whiz knockoff that had been spread into a square mould, holding its shape just long enough to temporarily pass as a cheese slice. Any melting on that substance's part had little to do with heat.

That's the definition of American cheese, yes.  I suspect most other places serreptitiously switch out for actual Cheddar when they migrate up North.

I dunno. I know McDonalds is using the same stuff up here that they use in the US.

I don't know from Five Guys, but Forefathers does the Cheez Whiz thing.  I'm led to understand that's an authentic Philly thing.

I was in Philly once.  The place I went to did not use Cheez Whiz.  I got a chicken Philly at the birthplace of Larry Fine.  It had melted provolone.

The secret best Philly steaks use provolone instead of cheese wiz. Don't tell anyone.

I'm just saying this to upset you, but everytime I hear or read "secret best" I now think of Shane Bettenhausen.
