I’m in the process. will bring my rate from 5.75 to 4.75. looking close to $500 per month in savings.

Scientists have just discovered that Tibetans evolved the ability to survive on less oxygen than normal at higher altitudes over a mere 3,000 years:

Evolution can happen a lot faster than most people think. Look at what we’ve done to dogs over a few centuries. Islanders may have gotten there as hunter/gatherers, but there was not a lot of hunting to be had on those islands. Plenty of fishing though, and their bodies evolved to better process seafood while their ability to digest red/white meats atrophied.[/quote]
well said. it isn’t just the effect of red meat. the effect of refined carbs on the islanders is absolutely deadly. their bodies simply can not handle so much white rice and sugar. and everyone become diabetic.
you can see this in most native populations of the world who have evolved without a lot of carb exposure.

Participant[quote=afx114]I wonder if the public would support a tax increase like this, or would we see a “keep your damn hands off my soda” revolt?[/quote]
I think the American public will see this as an extension of Big Government and fight hard against it.
Like I said before, we have to get to 50% obesity rate and when large numbers of us are dying off or becoming disabled in our 50-60’s before public opinion shift to allow the government to tax soda. (in the process, probably bankrupt the country)
