“We show that what is sold in a restaurant has a direct correlation to people’s health,” says MIT researcher Fabio Duarte, co-author of a newly published paper outlining the study’s results. “The food landscape matters.”

hmmm…

In London and Boston, higher socioeconomic neighborhoods had better access to nutrient-rich foods, with dietary fibers showing a strong inverse association with obesity (p = 0.001, p = 0.004, respectively).

…

Notably, dietary fibers consistently showed a significant negative association with obesity in both cities (p-value: 0.001 for London; 0.004 for Boston). Potassium had differing effects in London and Boston. No significant association was found between obesity and MBI nor NRF in either city.

whole foods plant-based FTW.

The problem is that average people don’t know what significance to attach to the “negative transparency”. Which is why this is necessary:

Hyde is calling for a renewed effort to teach the public about scientific norms, which would be done through science education and communication to eliminate the “naïve” view of science as infallible.

Which is a different way of saying that the society suffers from the value of “obedience to authority” and the bad habit of cognitive offloading (having others think for you). This is the source of a lot of problems…

Is this evopsych bullshit?

“This study shows us that bullying seems to be associated with some meaningful outcomes that help explain why kids do it,” Volk says. “This isn’t just ‘broken kids’ doing bad behavior; it’s getting them important things that matter.”

Yeah, same as bandits.

Volk says the results support the idea that adolescent bullying is, at least in part, an evolutionary adaptation that may help individuals pass on their genes to future generations.

Yep, evopsych bullshit.
