From Junkfood Science, via the_xtina, an article on the Minnesota Starvation Study (about the effects of dieting on healthy adults) that I found quite interesting.

EDIT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD: What I found interesting was: the mental effects of this deprivation on the healthy, normal-weight patients; the idea of patriotic conscientious objectors in a medical study; and the attitudes surrounding the study in general. The whole article was chock full of interesting attitudes toward the world. The general tone of the article and the obvious bias of the author are not my own.

I sometimes wish that your misidentified posts had their intended themes revealed after a week had passed with no winner, or something.

Well, that only works if I can figure out the ways in which it is being misidentified and am then articulate enough to tackle it again except not in the same way.

In my head, this is a mystical tagging service offered by psychic livejournal.
