  • Chorizo tacos at famous El Gordo in Las Vegas

    Jump

  • The Reuben at Greenburg's Deli in NYNY is always on my must-have list. Pretty much anything at Block 16, China Poblano (Mexican-Chinese cuisine), and Momofuku in The Cosmopolitan. If you like tasting menus, Partage is excellent. And if you like tiki bars, Frankie's (classic, divey) and Golden Tiki (next to Partage) are both great experiences.

  • For anyone unfamiliar, I'd say that Tacos El Gordo alone is worth making the trip to Las Vegas. Everything is amazing. My faves are al pastor on sopes, but you seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't panic if the line is around the corner; it moves quickly. Absolutely get a michelada while in line and the michelada woman is selling.

  • RA... oof. That shit is a curse*, a giant FU from the universe. I hope you get the relief/management you need. Tangential: does the prednisone get you all hyper?

    *My aunt had it. In my pre-teens, my mother sent me to live with and care for her in final years (it wasn't the RA that got her), so I deeply empathize with your health struggles.

  • Bruddah/sistah/non-binaryah, I know your pain intimately. I got my first shot in the knee 3 months ago. "And to think... I hesitated." Sending warm recovery thoughts your way. What kind of physical therapy regimen does the sawbones have you on?

  • Stromboli

  • I know ricotta doesn't go on stromboli.

    That's just food abuse. And I'd still mow down a bunch.

  • What are your BEST tech purchases?

    Jump

  • Roland AE-30 (wind synth). It's great to get back to playing "saxophone," as well as use it in my MIDI setup to control other synths. Added bonus: it's small enough to pack just about anywhere, and I can practice anywhere, anytime with headphones. Even just running scales is chill, meditative time, especially during stressful workdays.

  • What's your guilty pleasure?

    Jump

  • I interpret "guilty pleasures" as things that are not-so-great, but I enjoy them anyway. No shame implied in my head. Some crappy, simplistic EDM track, but is still a total earworm... sign me up! Nothing like that for you?

  • What's your guilty pleasure?

    Jump

  • Velveeta, specifically a Velveeta cream sauce on thick al dente pasta.

  • Has anyone actually eaten or diped OREO with Milk

    Jump

  • Wait ... Is it even legal to eat Oreos without dipping them in milk?

  • Who do you think was history's greatest villain?

    Jump

  • He made a step, perhaps a bit too long in a mistaken direction, but understanding didn’t and won’t stop with him. How everyone reacted to his theory was also part of the fault.

    These are excellent points and spot on. We're all looking for the silver bullet and elevator pitch, even those of us who know better. "Oh, just stop eating fatty meat, eggs, and salt!" Except it's way more complex than that. To Keys' credit, he also highlighted the importance of weight management/obesity, cardiovascular health, and "regular" exercise. The definition of "regular" of course keeps getting modified.

    Too much fat is still bad.

    Agreed, although too much of anything is bad. "The toxicity is in the dose." Keys pushed replacing saturated fats with PUFAs, which became a whole different problem with industrial PUFAs becoming the norm. Industrial PUFAs are high in Omega-6 EFA while being low in Omega-3 EFA. Humans don't actually need any digestible carbohydrates to survive, but we very much need fats and protein to live. Nutritional research has merely been negotiating on where the borders are.

    But it doesn’t make the harm of cholesterol moot. Or do you now want to ignore the other data yourself?

    We worry too much about exogenous cholesterol, when endogenous cholesterol is the real problem. Cholesterol is a lot like that joke about the guy looking for his keys in the middle of the street. "Did you lose your keys around here?" "No, but this is where the light is." Cholesterol, especially back when nutrition policy was being set, was what we could easily measure, and that was a correlation that science pursued. Epidemiological studies are notoriously tricky, sometimes just a step above anecdote. And to discuss these things in any serious detail requires a couple book-feet of text, most of it being contextual qualification.

    Regarding the importance of cholesterol as a risk indicator: What's probably closer to the truth is balance of HDL to LDL and cholesterol to HDL, with triglycerides being a case-by-case basis. If I recall correctly >500mg/dL being the absolute level for concern and interventions, with >200mg/dL being considered abnormally high.

    I think in the end, we all have to find what works for us at our given point in life. Because no silver bullet and there's no way to discuss these things simply and quickly.

    Jump

  • But ya know what has been proven to contribute to heart disease, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, NAFLD, hyperinsulimia/Type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation? Refined carbohydrates (Taubes, Lustig, et al).

    I kinda understand the downvotes because we've had 50+ years of saturated fat fearmongering. But when you start digging into this long running, test-in-production experiment on human diet and health, it's hard to avoid conspiratorial thinking.

  • Who do you think was history's greatest villain?

    Jump

  • Ancel Keys established a spurious link between cholesterol and heart disease. His Seven Countries Study was an early application of regression analysis. What is very rarely mentioned was that Keys omitted 5 countries (more? Can't exactly recall) that didn't fit the regression he wanted to show. (Ref: "Good Calories, Bad Calories," Gary Taubes)

    Keys' contributions to lipid hypothesis fucked the metabolic health of millions for decades.

    Regarding Keys' centenarian expiration, go find a pic of what that dude looked like for the last few decades of his life. I'll pass on the longevity and his diet plan.

    And if you're interested in how nutritionally screwed we are in the US:

    • "Hacking of the American Mind" and "Sugar" by Robert Lustig, a Harvard endocrinologist
    • "The Dorito Effect" by Mark Schatzker There are lots more to choose from, but that's a pretty big starting point
