He told me he was born in 1669.

 

I get what you mean - don't eat this, eat it, eat more of it, eat less, don't eat any.

Physics changed drastically when black holes were discovered (I read, as I have personal experience of only a handful of black holes) and everything we know may one day change drastically again as science moves onward.

 

i believe in keeping things as simple as possible!! for example, for the student or those unfamiliar with science in general this is a simple guide i learned in the fall of 1960 as a new arts and science student at oklahoma state university!! "if it smells bad, its chemistry; if it moves, its biology; and if it doesn't work, its physics" has served me well. there are of course more detailed ways to sort through the sciences but you gotta start somewhere.

 

i will guess twice as old as you. with age comes wisdom (or so they say) , but as oscar wilde once noted, sometimes age comes alone.

 

And wisdom teeth sometimes. What a bast*rd age can be - but where would we be without it!

 

Nope. As I recall, when margarine first came onto the market they boasted of a few things such as it being soft and easy to spread compared to butter. They never really claimed it tasted better but they did sometimes claim it tasted just like butter. One parlor game they played was to blindfold people and give them a taste test. A lot of people mistook margarine for butter. The big advantage of oleo margarine was that it was cheaper. It was made illegal In Wisconsin by lobbying from the very powerful dairy industry (America’s dairy state where cows outnumbered people at the time). My folks used to smuggle a few cases of margarine in from the many retail spots marked “OLEO” along the WI-Illinois border to save money.

Nobody talked about health benefits, not until the anti-cholesterol health movement came to be, much later on, in the eighties. When the evils of saturated fat came into light, long after margarine hit the marketplace, butter was shown to be highly saturated which apparently caused the liver to make cholesterol.

Butter became bad, margarine good.

Margarine did not have naturally saturated fats and it was said to be poly-unsaturated.

It was only much later that transfats came into being, artificially saturated to make them more solid than liquid. Margarine was determined to be full of transfats.

Margarine very bad. Butter better.

The human body did not know how to handle transfats. Margarine became much worse than butter because at least the body can process naturally saturated fats. Denmark banned all transfats. Anything marked transfats on the label dies not sell well in the USA; they are probably banned in California. But the Phils continues to sell Star Margarine, loaded with transfats and hard as a rock in 35-40C tropical ambient temperatures; useful for people with no Frigidaire.

Like an abundance of sugar, even in the spaghetti (disgusting), fake chemical honey and air pollution, we learn to live with it all.

But I eat Anchor Butter. I hope McDonald’s here uses only unsaturated fats for cooking fries like McDonald’s in the USA. I am pretty sure transfats will never be redeemed by the health nuts until millions of years from now if the human body ever evolves to be able to process it.

I would not give too much credit to the USA NASA for their great competence in science for those inventions that include Tang (is that a a breakthrough?), Kevlar and lexan for space helmets; the US government only did what it does best and funded the projects. It was private industry that actually invented those things.

enjoyed reading your post!

i love so many things about the phils but one of the things that disappoints me is the total lack of curiosity here about anything (probably especially margarine)

dumaguete info has become one of the hot tabs on my computer because it is so stimulating. lol, sometimes in a good way, sometimes not, but its never boring.

my butter here btw is "Queensland" from new zealand. in red cans usually in the import section. the butter is great and the cans are very useful. i often buy products in part because of the containers i get with them red neck tupperware!!

 

so many questions! how many black holes makes a handful?? were you wearing your spacesuit when you found them? did you use butter or margarine? ewwww, makes me queasy
