Signing out and re-logging doesn't fix the app for at least some older devices, I still get a 'handshake error' caused by an expired certificate.

Official nutrition recommendations have really lost the forrest in the trees.

Historically, almost every human population survived primarily on plant-based carbohydrate-dominant diets, so it should be super clear that carbohydrates are not 'bad for us'.

The problem is the processing. Over the last few hundred years, we have started isolating and refining individual nutrients from whole foods, producing fundamentally new and unnatural nutrient combinations our bodies are completely unprepared for. And everywhere these new and improved foods become widely adopted, a predictable constellation of diseases turn up... Go figure.

Personally, I was raised on a standard American diet (99% hot pockets & McDs), was overweight like most of my family, and being fit seemed impossible. In collage I started cooking my own food, to my own taste (plenty of salt, fat, etc.), have been an effortless size 4 since, and I really feel like the answer is no where near as difficult as we like to pretend.

To my mind, the major impediments to widespread dietary health are all societal, as almost no one has the time or money, much less the know-how, to cook real food.

Moreover, processed food makes a lot of money for the processors, so does treating the diseases processed food causes. As such, the powers of capitalism strongly favor continued public confusion, and discourage any meaningful improvement.

Lol, that's bound to be some funny honey!

Absolutely, and to me, it really hammers home how biologically impactful food processing can be!

Very cool work!

It reminds me of a really interesting book by a primatologist, postulating that the adoption of cooking likely played a major role in human brain development.

Basically, the author argues that the energy provided by cooking drastically reduced the physiological energy required to extract nutrients (like starch) from our food, leaving a relative excess available to power our energetically-expensive cognition.

Scary stuff! And some of these endocrine disrupting compounds can have a hereditary impact, meaning a woman's exposure today can effect her grandkids' development.

A lot of these chemicals come from the packaging used in fast food and other ultra-processed foods, so home cooking has really become self-defense.

I think a lot of the pushback stems from the phrasing of the original PR description (which is still available below the clarifying update).

Telemetry can be a valuable tool, but adding Google & Yandex to a popular open source project immediately after acquisition seems... undiplomatic, and I can certainly see why the original announcement caused concerns.

That said, the update provides some important, and hopefully calming, clarifications, including the opt-in implementation.

Fair enough, I think there are some RSS options for the comments, but I don't use any personally, so I don't know how well they work.

You could always use their RSS feed, then configure your RSS front-end to only show unread content.

Wow, I bet Skynet is going to love these.

They do look cool though!

Great! Now developers can stop bothering with Windows apps, and fully focus on Linux!

Edit: I should have added an /s for sarcasm, I definitely understand that this is just more EEE (and Microsoft desperately trying to stay relevant), but the WSL can be a double-edged sword!
