That seems reductive given that they did a regression analysis and controlled for other factors, but sure they could be wrong. Edit: I read my response, and it should be read sincerely. I really believe their analysis could be wrong. Anything controlling for other factors should be taken as evidence but not definitive proof by any stretch.

I’m not a fan of the smell of marijuana smoke. If you step back and really just smell it objectively without linking it to its effects, I think most would agree it is musky and kind of gross. With that said, vaping flowers and eating the stuff is always an option.

Carbon taxes (or at least pricing carbon) shouldn't be the only solution to climate change, but they are a necessary one: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/sites/2/2018/12/SR15_TS_High_Res.pdf ECONOMISTS’ STATEMENT ON CARBON DIVIDENDS The Largest Public Statement of Economists in History Expert Consensus on the Economics of Climate Change http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/climate-change-policies

One of the more interesting stats on this Pew poll is the 21 to 71 % spread between Millennial vs. Silent Republicans. Republican millennials support legalization nearly at the same rate as other millennials.

It’s certainly encouraging to see more polls showing a majority of GOP leaning voters getting on board. Despite the popular support, most voters don’t consider it one of their top issues one way or another which has lead to apathy on the part of state and Federal lawmakers. It’s going to take a President that spends some political capital on it to make it happen.

The center left is worried about Biden, as they should be, but it's too late.

You aren’t alone. I was on a statin in my early 20s when I ate poorly, but in my late twenties I got interested in healthy foods and exercise which allowed me to get off of it... until earlier this year I had high ldl. I will likely be back on a low dose statin soon. I eat better than all my co workers, and my brother can eat junk and his lipids are great. It’s just genetic I guess.

The bacon is the main issue with that. Cheese doesn’t seem as bad as people think. It’s probably too many eggs at a time too, but if it’s on occasional, no biggie. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10654-017-0243-1#Sec10

From the PDF of their study on eggs: It looks like some of their justification for egg mortality may be in regard to evidence from egg intake and associations with cancer and elevated levels of morality for people with diabetes. Eggs and cancer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26293984 -While our conclusion was tempered by the potential for publication bias and confounding, high egg intake may be associated with a modestly elevated risk of breast cancer, and a positive association between egg intake and ovarian and fatal prostate cancers cannot be ruled out. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8061589 Egg consumption and cancer of the colon and rectum. It still seems pretty modest.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31173548 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29680985 I haven't looked at the data they used in their analysis, but it doesn't match some of the reviews I'm aware of. That's not to say eggs are healthy, but they also don't seem to be bad either. They seem pretty neutral to me.

I agree that eggs seem to be marked too harmful on health from my previous read (although there is some evidence it can be harmful for certain sub populations), but the other food categories seems to match the meta studies I’m familiar with on health. I need to dig into their data on eggs.

What makes you say that?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed to be blown out of the water.

The CEPR is pro Chavez. It’s really hard for me to think that organization is more credible than the OAS. Everyone is stuck in their own bubbles of info. You got your pro socialist twitter subscriptions and think tanks that support your biases. Trump supporters have Fox News and radio. My bias is towards international organizations and mainstream press organizations such as WaPo, NYT, AP, and NPR. We won’t reach each other.

If this was a right wing Latin American leader that got another term through an obviously biased court ruling, you would be screaming coup.

I trust them still, even after you provided a PDF saying the Secretary General is apparently close with Washington. They are still a credible organization.
