between  saturated fat  and heart disease, so stop denying yourself the occasional tasty T-bone steak.   Yes, it’s true that much of the government-approved  modern eating plan  is based on junk science or no science at all.

If you follow the Food Pyramid,  you will probably be overweight and likely be at risk for diabetes.   Why do you think there’s an explosion of juvenile diabetes?  Diabetes runs in my family.  I have the opposite,  low blood sugar  and if I ate half as many carbohydrates as recommended by Our Lady of Perpetual Dissatisfaction,  I’d be really obese and feel awful.  We’ve recently learned that whole milk leads to fewer weight problems in children than low-fat and fat-free.   The science on health and eating is not settled, though  the food nags insist it is,  just as the green Nazis claim global warming/climate change/global weirding is both science and settled.   Read the book  mentioned here  and get on the list to  buy the second one.

U-2 shuts down LAX…

Apparently,   the computers at the L.A. Air Route Traffic Control Center in Palmdale,  CA couldn’t cope with the high altitude of the fifty-year old spy plane and had a meltdown which resulted in  flight delays  throughout the Southwest.

Now, if a half-century old spy plane can cause this sort of havoc,  just imagine what an alien spaceship might do.   The dirty little secret is that most air flight computer programs are coded so as to simply ignore anything deemed impossible.
