A link to 40 charts and graphs showing how the US gets fed... more interesting than it sounds.

glatt · 07-15-2014, 08:46 AM

That link is amazing. You could spend an hour or two digesting (hee hee) it all.

I've been thinking about my diet a lot lately, and it's interesting to me to see the 3-4 charts on the rise of obesity in this country and how it matches almost exactly in increase in daily caloric intake, and an increase in grain and fat consumption. Americans need to eat fewer grains, less meat, and more fruits and vegetables. The food pyramid from a decade or two ago with grains on the bottom really fucked up this country. I think a lot of people still think grains are good and should be eaten in abundance instead of limited. I know I did. Fuckin' Wheaties.

Wow. You've done a Wheatie 180.

I'm so disillusioned right now.

I'd never heard of Stormfront. Assuming this is what we're talking about...

xoxoxoBruce · 07-16-2014, 01:30 PM

That be it.

Gravdigr · 07-16-2014, 01:35 PM

Guess I haven't gotten to that particular corner of the web...

Kentucky is lagging behind, PA leads the way with a large and varied choice of hate groups. After all, this is the age of specialization.

The suitcase

I recommend clicking on the link at the end which goes to the pdf journal translation.

Glatt, there is more evidence linking HFCS to obesity than grain. Not that grain is all that great.

Except for barley.

A niche blog called WTF Visualizations. They collect charts, graphs, and other visuals from articles, reports, print and digital. No explanation beyond the visual itself so a lot of them are real head scratchers. I found a lot of them amusing.

This one pisses me off. It means I'm doomed to never ending sales calls.

where is this information from? And what is the definition of "contact"?

Let's imagine Comcast is your only Cable TV option.

they call/mail once a month to try and persuade you to upgrade your plan. (I'm bring generous here) you tell them to fuck off or recycle the mailing. then it's the Olympics and you decide you need a sports TV package. So you wait for them to call so you can get a better deal than you might if you went to them. That might make it look like they were successful after x number of contacts. no?

Gravdigr · 07-21-2014, 05:17 PM

The circle charts there...uh, I'm confused.

2% = about half the circle chart. ?

3% = 25% of the circle chart. ?

Lather, rinse, repeat.

?

xoxoxoBruce · 07-21-2014, 06:50 PM

And 10% and 80% look the same. Oh, and it doesn't say those contacts are with the same potential customer. There's a lot they don't say.
