I hate to ask this but how does a food pyramid that emphasizes complex carbs, fruits and vegetables and suggests a lower intake of animal foods run counter to veganism? (I know I am going to be sorry.)

My thinking is that with the food pyramid, they over-emphasize anything the BigAg Lobby wants us to consume like monsanto laced grains, eggs, cheap chicken raised devoid of sunlight and pasture, factory farmed milk and anything else unnatural I forgot to mention.

What does that have to do with veganism? You can buy the items that are listed on the food pyramid from small sources at farm markets, online etc.

There are nations who are ran by authoritarian regimes who want to destroy democracy.

Quoted the only line I disagree with. I doub't than any dictatorship the Lying Media is trying to sell on you as our enemy out to destroy democracy is really out to destroy democracy. HAGD as well.

Common sense 101 for gas holding capabilities of water also covered in any introduction to chemistry class. Regarding the belated spikes, makes perfect sense to me when you consider permafrost melting and methane hydrates releasing their payload into the atmosphere.

Why is the media lying? Have they been lying forever or is it a recent phenomenon?

I have to say that you live with a level of paranoia that would make me run screaming through the streets.

I wasn't referring to any particular leader or what the media has to say, fake or otherwise . I was giving my opinion of world events and such. But I guess I did pretty good if you agree with the rest lol.

I turn to CNN, FOX, and MSNBC for news and instead they function as an extension of the American State Department. They do accurately report train wrecks, airplane disasters, and earthquakes. That is why I refer to them as the "Lying press" or media. My influencer here for sure is not #45. I would replace your use of "paranoia" with the phrase "critical thinking skills" I am highly accurate in reading the headlines and knowing our domestic and foreign policy goals.

As a former American soldier I was sent to Iraq based on a pack of lies and to me my statement doesn't represent "paranoia". I did however believe the media going in to this and that it was a just war. Today not so much. The Chilcot Report and cables between our President at the time and the British Prime Minister accurately represent the lies we were sold to go to war.

It is always the same playbook used to ensure profits for American Industry and has been used over and over again ad nauseaum, brutal dictator oppressing their own people(sure he might or might not be democratically elected) to justify our intervention, first come the sanctions, regardless of how many innocent civilians are deprived the basic necessities of life. You see this in Libya, Venezuela, Iran(1950's), yada yada yada to many nations to even count. Follow the money and see who profits is all I can tell you, or read pretty much any book written by Chomsky, Chris Hedges or so many others. Lets just go back ask did the concerns of the United Fruit Company really matter to the American people in general? We just liked cheap bananas and they liked their profits and did it really matter who got hurt in the process?
