Reply to Large study provides evidence that goal incongruence can harm romantic relationship satisfaction by glum-platimium

I never realized that such a normalized part of life would be so much work. Everyone I grew up with and everyone I know seems have been able to figure out how to make it work, but I can’t. And then I go down rabbit holes about stuff like this and I’m just like, how do people have time to do anything except for work on their marriages/lives. Because I’ll tell you, from the outside looking in, they all make it look easy. At least a lot easier than even the beginning stages has ever been for me

Here's an article about why corn is bad for cattle:

>However, evolutionarily cattle are adapted to pasture diets not corn-based diets. Cattle have complex digestive systems, consisting of the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasums, which allow them to digest cellulose and hemicellulose found in grass blades. The addition of corn to the diet of a steer changes the chemistry of its digestive system and leads to serious illnesses, including bloat and acidosis. This illness, which is extremely painful for cattle, brings into question the ethics of feeding cattle a corn-based diet and the ethics of the policies surrounding corn production.

Here's one about corn and humans

>A study in 115 adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes found that eating a diet with only 14% of calories coming from carbs resulted in more stable blood sugars and a reduced medication need compared to getting 53% of the daily calories from carbs (16Trusted Source).

>A 24-year Harvard study in 133,468 adults found that each additional daily serving of corn was associated with a 2-pound (0.9-kg) weight gain per 4-year interval. Potatoes, peas and other starchy vegetables did not contribute to as much weight gain (18Trusted Source).

Thank you for this. I spend about 90% of my time alone. I’d love to be able to cheer somebody up. Elderly people can be so witty and charming. I even like the grumpy ones :)

They did have a control group, you know...it is usually best to read the content before criticizing the researchers' basic competency. In fact, assuming their competence is among the subreddit's rules.
