Ish.

It’s more that places like California and Florida have very strict building codes due to Natural disaster mitigation.

How do you guarantee that Mike from Mississippi with his Mississippi license knows how to properly roof to Florida standards if he doesn’t have a Florida license?

Or Alex from Alabama laying concrete on California If he’s not familiar with California building requirements?

Yes. Less sugar/artificial sugars/insulin spiking foods = less insulin = greatly lowered risk of insulin resistance = lowered risk of CNS insulin dysfunction and neurodegeneration = lower risk of AD. Insulin resistance causing widespread insulin dysfunction which eventually overrides the CNS's defenses and causes CNS insulin malfunction is what causes AD.

This is interesting.. (wish the article was available but alas). The requirements for professional/medical (social workers, counselors, doctors, dentists, etc) also can vary greatly from state to state.

Oh so science is telling us there are some jobs that can be done even without a shiny piece of gatekeeping paperwork that gives you permission? Who knew! It's almost like our entire capitalist meritocracy is a bureaucratic sham...

I agree on all three of those, but I think there are also some professions that require licensing in at least some states that maybe don’t need to, such as nail technicians, makeup artists, travel agents, unarmed security guards, and florists.

My wife and I are currently going through training to become foster parents and there's a lot about food insecurity and other food issues. It's honestly terribly depressing. And thinking about it, I can't think of a single obese person that I know well who had a decent home life growing up, so this seems to track with my anecdotal experience.

Well, I live in Florida, and I know for a fact that contactor and electrical licensing is required. There may be some things you can do without a license from state to state, but that doesn't mean the license doesn't exist and isn't necessary for some or most work, so this list missing important context

From the article: New research provides evidence that people who grew up in an unstable environment are more susceptible to food addiction. The findings, published in the journal Appetite, indicate that unpredictability in one’s earlier stages of life is associated with maladaptive patterns of food intake.

Food addiction is a term used to describe a problematic pattern of food intake characterized by a lack of control, unsuccessful attempts to eat less, and continuing to overeat despite negative consequences.

“Considering the deleterious consequences of food addiction (e.g., obesity and depression), the risk factors leading to adults’ food addiction warrant examination,” said study author Hope Zhou, a PhD student at the University of Macau.

“Understanding the psychological mechanism of food addiction from the perspective of life history may help evaluate and decrease one’s risks for food addiction. These results may yield a theoretical framework for the development of food addiction and practical insights for future food addiction intervention programs.”

The new study was based on life history theory, which seeks to explain how organisms allocate resources over their lifetime in order to maximize their reproductive success. The theory holds that one’s early life environment shapes internal strategies of how to allocate energy and resources.

And, unfortunately, the existence of unintended consequences to laws, as well as ineffective language, means that implementation often falls short of intention.

This is an important study.

Edit: your mindset would have derided follow up studies to Brown versus Board of Education, which almost uniformly found less than expected Black economic progress, because equal access did not imply equal resources. It’s a terrible mindset.

Louisiana requires a license to become a florist. The Institute for Justice (libertarian public interest law firm) does a ton of work on occupational licensing and some of the crazy restrictions various states put on people trying to earn a living.
