A Call For Humor!

[Karmacoma]

I once attended a "dead serious" meeting (as a then young assistant, with my mentor, a widely acknowledged nutritional specialist). The topic went slightly sideways like "how do we survive these terrible additives etc. in our diet". I couldn't tame my inner mischief and asked, with my best pokerface: "we even live longer than without - so maybe we are conservated, like the mummys in Egypt, only alive"? Instead of laughing, they started to seriously discuss it...
After 5 minutes or so, "my" prof said, let us flee, before they get the joke, and they will...

The real experiment I wonder about would be to check if an average person's corpse decomposes slower than someone's eating exclusively organic food. I'm not sure what we'd do with the result but I'm still curious to know.

Way too much green and blue on that map.

IMHO this would be impossible in a scientific way, for several reasons:

• Everyone, regardless of diet, has a slightly different "microbiome", impacting later decomposition.
• Same goes for chemical "contamination" from multiple sources, not just food.
• Probably nobody is eating organic only this day and age, regardless how strong they believe it (and organic doesn't mean free from all contaminants).
• The study would get rather expensive and no pharma or food company would finance it, fearing the opposite outcome.

And, disregarding the above, should this study prove "longevity by contamination", people would start to eat even worse sh!t than they already do.

This is what I love about this place! No rabbit hole is too deep or too abstruse (or too silly) to resist thorough examination!
Y'all are my kinda guyses!

oh, speaking of which - this, umm, graffitist's perspective (seen @ hifihaven.org) also resonates with me.

Indeed, were I a military officer*, I'd be tempted on a daily basis to look at a subordinate and state, clearly and levelly:

Disobey this command.

Just to see what their response would be.

* Pretty obvious why I am not a military officer...

Rick Wakeman's back seat?

Now it's time to definitely close a longstanding debate. We're all here to learn.

The patent authority guys probably thought "that's some really serious shit"
