“each increase of 10 µg per deciliter in the lifetime average blood lead concentration was associated with a 4.6-point decrease in IQ” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4046839/

“cities/towns with more firearms had higher pediatric blood lead levels (highest quartile fully adjusted prevalence ratio ((aPR) = 1.18; 95% CI, 1.09, 1.30) with a significant increase in pediatric blood lead per increase in firearms” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S001393512300511X

One exception might be social networks with feeds that promote based on engagement. They push things up in the feed when they have replies, whether positive or negative. But this is part of why people are pointing out that such networks are harmful, because it amplifies our worst instincts

A strange character in that he preached some ideas that were correct (excessive meat eating is a major cause of health issues) but also a lot of crazy/harmful stuff. It is a satisfying metaphor that his namesake cracker lives on as a dessert- all it needed to be a classic was a little bit of pleasure thrown in

The photo submitter must have had a moment of doubt: should I really post this? Do I really want to associate this food with…this? And then they just went for it. Gotta respect it lol
