Most states use optical scan tabulators:

That's excellent! and I would expect that this tech is not vendor captured by patent or other means.

Which means many companies can make the equipment/systems...


Talking?

It might be reasonable if the Sweden sibling study hadn't been published.

It's not hatred, he is a anti science crank and grifter and has no business overseeing HHS.

I’m prone to agreement however I would also point out publication bias is a thing, and incentives at the HHS are similar to the “publish or parish” dynamic that drives publication bias. Given that, one can imagine how a skeptical orientation could in fact be useful on occasion to insect a sort of reform that’s analogous to what happened in psychology in the midst of the so called replication crisis. Again, with respect to circumcision I’m probably biased, but certainly not an outlier.

You are conflating gross and operating margin.

It's also more dynamic than your presentation. They have a little bit of pricing power, so a small increase doesn't all come out of the margin.


Good callout on the gross vs operating margin.

I’m not sure on the pricing power. If they had more leeway on making car more expensive why not set it to that point in the first place?


There's all kinds of discussions of recovering text from corrupted files that just kind of went away when they moved over to the explicit serialization in docx.

The high fructose corn syrup used for most packaged foods is 42% fructose, with the remainder being glucose.

The name comes from the additional step of converting some portion of the glucose to fructose after converting starch to glucose.


Avocado calories are pretty close to 10% saturated fat, as an example.

Excess sugar and simple starches tend to get absorbed more completely than excess fat, I'm not sure added fat is the biggest issue.


Look into the keto diet. Fat is definitely not the main issue, sugar and other simple carbs are.

Your conclusion presupposes we buy into the "keto diet is healthy" proposition.

However, there is a preponderance of real data that fats have been demonized by the sugar industry in the past, and HGI foods (high-carb, generally) are a bigger issue.


Yeah, this reads like popular health guidance left over from the 1980's. Back then we though that "fat makes you fat" and shifted to sweeteners to make food taste good. Later, we found out that was all due to the sugar industry.

Indeed, lots of anti-fat researched was sponsored by sugary drink companies.

But the jury is still against too much saturated fat, since the lymphatic system doesn't handle it in the healthiest of ways. So limiting saturated fats is still the WHO recommendation.


Avocados are excluded by the points further down, they're raw/unprocessed.

I was responding to the other poster saying that the rules were entirely opened up by the exceptions. Other than meat, it's a freak ingredient like avocado or maybe some nuts that has that much fat.

It sort of depends on how much time you are putting in when you bill $40k, no?

You say you consult at charity rates and then point to taxation as the sole reason it isn't worth your time...
