My parents are obsessed with that store. I don't understand it. They keep telling me about how cheap everything is and buying me random junk. Everything has been exactly that. Junk.

I've always wondered how they expect people to answer those. I rarely recommend specific brands to people even if I really like them, so do I answer 1? Or are they secretly asking how much I like the product and I'm supposed to answer 10 even if I'd never make the recommendation?

It's always a question of cost to benefit ratio.

Toss the crust

  • Pro: No additional negative effect on your enjoyment of the food or your body
  • Pro: compost and let the plants eat it
  • Con: You cease to be a grown ass man

Eat the crust

  • Con: Negative enjoyment
  • Con: Extra Calorie consumed. More strain on the medical system.

If anything, eating the crust would be the "wasteful" decision. I'm sure if it were possible to get the same pizza without crust, all of these people would jump on that chance.

The smaller the pizza, the more crust there is relative to non-crust.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good

That only applies to cash. The rich have the greater majority of their wealth in assets, so they likely won't even give a second thought to losing all of their cash. Who it's actually going to hurt are the middle class workers nearing retirement. The ones who make enough to have some semblance of a retirement fund and who have also moved this fund to cash to reduce volatility.

I get the impression that we're in agreement but just arguing semantics here. Instead of categorizing food as either healthy or unhealthy, we should be asking what food to eat in order to achieve a given goal with your life circumstances. And not everyone has the same goal or life. Saying that something is healthy/unhealthy in absolute terms implies that it's always/never a good idea to consume them, regardless of your situation.

There's merit in using the terms "healthy" and "unhealthy" from a public health perspective when you're giving broad nutrition advice that applies to the majority of people, but that's not what's happening here. We're specifically talking about athletes.

Imagine all the science we could do if scientists didn't have to worry about funding to stay alive.

I think what you're missing is that no touch screen does not mean no screen whatsoever.

Are you okay? That's some serious word salad.

That sounds unlikely to me. If the school is wealthy, then so are their students' families.
