I'm specifically referencing the clear schadenfreude.

Meanwhile, apparently Asian countries dump more plastic into the ocean than the rest of the world combined.

NYT has dove so deep into identity politics, opinion, agenda, and editorial that it's very hard to imagine their actual legitimate journalistic/reporting division is not being negatively impacted and influenced.
In that case, an increase would not be surprising. Many people are simply falling through the cracks, or are a decade or two behind where prior generations were by the same age.
Ultra processed foods are almost always significantly higher in calories.
On a positive note, the new MacBook Air has an Escape key, function row, and does not include a Touch Bar.
Just read the headline, that's as good as it gets.
What a strange situation we have where there are people simultaneously starving with insufficient food and nutrition, and also a massive population that is dramatically overfeeding their way into catastrophic health problems.
I find much NYTimes Opinion to be distasteful, cringeworthy, divisive, propaganda, and even inciting, but it seems a fairly reasonable opinion that unnecessary poison use is bad.
Do have the opinion that poison on a lawn is good?
If I let my yard grow wild then I quickly have a large variety of wildflowers, interesting plants, and mixed wildlife in my yard.
Once an environment has been altered or landscaped in anyway, it requires what is considered neglect (and/or a lot of work) to get it back to a natural state. For most people with any sort of ever manicured yard, it's simpler to mow. Otherwise by modern standards it can be unsightly, is mostly socially unacceptable, considered bad for property values, etc, and it can also minimize the human use of a field.
There are many, many parts of the USA where the 'high speed' internet service is somewhere between 1mbps to 3mbps maximum, or slower, assuming there's any broadband at all.
Internet speeds plummet when you're in most rural areas, often even semi-rural smaller towns that are 30-45 minutes outside of major cities have comically slow internet.
Anecdotal baloney combined with pseudoscience and misrepresented before/after photos of people who had braces/orthodontic work. LOL, no.
Generally the more you know the better, but sometimes things can be stumbled upon that might otherwise be irrelevant yet the intervention can then introduce new risk or some other unique problem or undesired side effect. There aren't always easy answers.
If I am searching for "xyz abc" I am searching for those specific terms for a reason, so please don't present me with results for the entirely unrelated "123", and no I am not talking about showing synonyms.
That's probably a very low estimate, depending on the ER and region anyway.
The ER is too often used as a general clinic / doctors office, psychiatric ward, or even homeless shelters in many areas. The latter issue with the homeless taking up considerable ER space and hospital beds may be unique to the west coast, where homelessness is far beyond crisis levels.
This is obviously a multifactorial problem at many levels.
Nor should you, because it is utter nonsense.
Science denial with weight loss and obesity is just as prolific as science denial with climate, pollution, evolution, flat earth, sex, evolution, and any other post-fact topic.
The wonderful thing about physics and science is that it does not matter what you believe, fact is fact :)
> Most government guidelines indicated that, as a man, he needed 2,500 calories a day to maintain his weight (the target for women is 2,000)
Those guidelines alone are a recipe for rampant morbid obesity, and most people eat far more than that as evidenced by the rapidly expanding obesity rate. The majority of people are simply far too sedentary to recommend anywhere near that level of caloric intake, given the levels of obesity they could easily cut those guidelines by a third if not in half. Or even less if they wanted to promote cures to obesity related disease like type-2 diabetes.
By the way, eating about 800 calories a day will cause weight loss (not surprising, laws of physics still apply) and reverse type-2 diabetes.

Oh well, let the science denial continue. Whether it is weight and obesity, evolution, climate, pollution, biological sex, evolution, flat earth, creationism, in the modern era facts no longer matter.
But leaving for another west coast city is not going to improve things much, housing and cost of living in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, etc are also very high when compared to costs elsewhere in the USA.
The midwest and south should be aggressively courting entrepreneurs based on cost of living alone.
Calling Wikipedia 'neutral' is comical, it's full of opinion, ideology, bias, misinformation, disinformation, astroturfing, and other nonsense noise and utter garbage.
Call and text people you actually want to keep in touch with. Pretty easy.
