Do schools still have kids diagram sentences?

Flip-flops? I don't need a mosaic to illustrate those. This is what I want to see:

Perhaps you should start buying your meat from somewhere else.

I see waaaaay too much trust on the Dem / Lean Dem side for my comfort. Understanding that all of these sources have biases and that some of these biases are independent of Dem / Repub squabbling seems lost on too many.

Agreed. Early on, the article points to burgers as a main culprit. I just happened to make myself a burger yesterday. Other than coarsely grinding the cut of beef (chuck), what was so ultra processed here? Was the beef so very different than the steak I could have made instead? I would imagine that the authors had envisioned a more heavily processed, meat from a tube sort of burger than mine, but that's the problem with communicating information like this. The imprecision of the language is killing the messaging and undermining the research.

Thanks for looking into this. I went back just now because of your reply and now I see about 50% of the images. Strange. I realized that I could report the site to Firefox to have them look into the issue, so I did that. Probably just another case of everything being written for Chrome these days.

What will Melania have to say about this?

Nothing wrong with being a Luddite

Yikes! You weren't kidding. Tacky, tacky, tacky.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. I am really disappointed that the media didn't refer to this Oceangate scandal as Oceangate-gate. News writers have since Watergate nonsensically appended 'gate' to nearly anything in order to signify scandal. But here, I guess the absurdity of appending gate to gate was somehow finally too much?

I shall ever refer this lapse as Oceangate-gate-gate

I have to admit, educated is not the demographic I had imagined them going for.
