FOOD AND HUNGER

Submitted by ub on

About 150 years ago we began canning food to extend shelf life in an attempt to end hunger across the globe and make life more convenient.

Many families learned how to preserve their precious harvests. Today, giant factory farms use thousands of chemicals to grow and process our food supply.

Shelf life is longer, but there is still global hunger, and health - of our soil and ourselves - has been severely damaged.

Why are we still doing the same things expecting a different outcome?

DAME, Notre Dame

I'm not gonna sit here and troll ND because I think they're the best team ever. Because they're not. Not even close. Yeah, they're 4-0, and have beaten ranked Michigan State and Michigan. Two words about those teams: Big Ten. Meaning they're slightly, if not grossly, over-ranked and overrated. So don't take too much from those wins.
What I AM here to do today is to analyze how they got to 4-0. Statistical analysis, if you will. Numbers don't lie...as long as you don't misconstrue them as you are analyzing. They can be biased if you want them to be.
