I think the most immediate and best solution is to foster more federalism and return more power to the states. The more localized you make government, the better it represents people.

Regardless of your stance on abortion, I think overturning Roe v Wade was a good thing at the federal level. We should let Texans be Texans and New Yorkers be New Yorkers, stop trying to ram down policy at the Federal level.

If the country is to survive we need more willingness to agree to disagree. You can’t just force half the country to conform to your way of thinking.

That sounds like lying with extra steps lol.

Idk, the people who I know who have the worst relationships with food came from families that didn’t allow treats like soda and forced their kids to eat organic because “reasons”

On the other hand I’m very comfortable with food and was never given any restrictions on what I could or couldn’t have growing up (with obvious exceptions like alcohol, which I was never given growing up at all, and which I ended up with a bit of a drinking problem at one point)

Maybe that’s not science but perhaps a correlation of some kind.

Individual body chemistry varies widely, some are certainly more prone to mental disorder. Sensitivity to caffeine is something that can change with exposure, age, and a myriad of other factors. I always encourage people to experiment with sobriety; simply abstain from your habit. My own experiences with withdrawl from even small amounts, 35-70mg daily, were enough to convince me its best to avoid the daily habit.

Yeah, I'm sure Donald "I promised to release my tax returns and now sue people so that I don't have to, I surrounded myself with people who were criminally convicted on various charges, I praised authoritarian dictators who kill their enemies, I lied more than any other President in recorded history and I have a decades-long reputation for conducting shady businesses" Trump is totally clean and has nothing whatsoever to hide.

I don't really lie to him, initially I told him he was too young for soda, then time has passed, he's tried sparkling water and didn't like the bubbles. So he's convinced he won't like it, even when offered he will refuse.

On the other hand, he'll be offered to taste or smell anything now. Even alcohol he will turn his nose at, but he's too young to appreciate it anyway.
