You ever had real Chicago-style pizza?

About the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten.

First bite is pretty good.

By the end of your first piece, you are sweaty, nauseated and ashamed.

I have... I managed to eat one slice from a small before something started screaming at me (maybe my pancreas? I don't wanna (frank) with that guy!)

pretty much yeah... veggies/ grains that are GMO actually trigger different genes and alter our genetics since we didn't evolve eating that stuff, but the rather the original foods without the genetic modifications.
- kaptaan


I think the biggest risk of GMO foods lies in the lack of genetic variety in the foods themselves, in that we're not taking in a variety of different plant matter. As for the effects on the human body, I'll take it on a case by case basis. I haven't seen any studies that conclude that GMO foods alter the way the body functions in any way.

Soprabolzano and Collalbo... check out where these are. The people in these places know how to live.

some of the best, simple food I have ever had, combined with some of the best scenery anywhere on the planet.

- BorjeFan4Ever

A lot of hidden gems in the smaller towns, the food taste better somehow when you sit outdoors and take in the scenery.

I don't think this conversation is controversial enough

Can't we switch to how vaccines cause autism?

I think no longer having the looks/talent to get steady high paying jobs in show business caused her high profile blame of everything causing her kid's condition.

That's because, with all due respect, the majority of consumers are somewhere scientifically illiterate and scientifically blind. The very concept of the scientific process is like a foreign language to them, and even if they do understand it, all it takes is one skinny blonde with big tits (or even modest tits, see Paltrow, Gwynneth) to tell them something to the contrary and they fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Put another way - if something is presented which people cannot understand, they instead choose to believe something that they can understand, regardless of how false that may be, and particularly if there are enough lous, stupid voices in the same echo chamber.

With Trump as president, I'm afraid we are going to be talking about that subject a helluva lot in the next few months.

Sigh.
