I've read that the "mainly grains" food pyramid was put forward by the American Grain Growers Association. The completely honest and unbiased FDA waved it through.
SuperDipMonster and everyone that's ever eaten at a carrot is either dead or we'll die you people making correlations two things that aren't connected just Boggle my mind even twenty-five hundred years ago it was said the biggest evil is ignorance
Seth Ellison Capitalism, the thing that says, "if you aren't productive you won't get a vote in how society works" killed your productivity. I think you are just inadvertently proving how awesome capitalism is.
Seth Ellison Capitalism is survival of the most fit player in a market. If all the market needs to succeed was money then why are Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk or most billionaires so much richer than Trump. Trump started out with a few million dollars. All these guys started out with a few thousand dollars.(literally 1/1000th the money) Capitalism is just a voting system, where one dollar = one vote, and the votes decide where the nation/society's resources should go. True communism is where Joe Hick has equal voting power as Bill Gates, on where the society's funds should be put. Now do you think Joe Hick and Bill Gates deserve to be equal? I don't think so. I think a world where Joe Hick's desire to buy a nice new Truck should never be equal with Bill Gates fight to eradicate polio. Rich, for the most part, equals smart, or at least talented, and I want smart people in charge of the world. I want capitalism.
Capitalism is not a meritocracy. You give a few anecdotes, but most wealth is concentrated at the top, in the extreme. Wealthy capitalists use their money to manipulate the system to get what they want. You've apparently never heard of a monopoly. Over time, most people have less money/votes, and their quality of life plummets.
Capitalism is meritocracy, corporatism (which is what we have) is not. But corporatism and fake capitalism is still better than socialism and communism.
Agreed. I still tend to think of grunge as being "new". I remember the jolt I felt when Eddie Vedder turned 50. When Jagger and Richards reached that age, people referred to them as "old men".
I'm old enough to remember that none of these were common beliefs... in fact, I remember them as just passing media garbage that people would point and laugh at while watching tv.
+Lay you In Well yes, but back then reporters claimed that Magic Johnson getting AIDS showed that anyone could. I remember thinking that since he claimed to be sleeping with hundreds of women per year, he was not at all a convincing example of the risk most people faced.
food pyramid - moral or the story: diets are ALWAYS changing. what we think we know today, will change tomorrow. again. "coffee bad, coffee good, butter bad, butter good" - just fucking stop pigging out already!
my schooling was timed in such a way that in 6th grade, i learned the 2nd food pyramid (vertical lines for food groups), then 7th grade we did drugs and sex ed, and then in 8th grade they had switched to MyPlate. now I rebel against the government by eating instant noodles out of a coffee mug.
What people never understood about comics was that the valuable ones were valuable because of their rarity. People weren't collecting them, they were reading them and by modern times there was only a handful of them around in decent condition. Compare that to modern comics that put out millions of copies and, back then, collectors were buying dozens of copies and keeping them all in protective plastic. It was a doomed prospect.
This just make me miss growing up as a 90s kid :( 1991 was the year I was born and things were for the most part (not everything but many things) better back then. Especially how people socialized, people actually picked up the damn phone and dialed someone whenever they wanted to talk or come chill. Now all the "socializing" is mainly a lot of endless texting Facebooking, and Snapchatting among other things.
So here's the thing. Carbs are a broad spectrum. Good carbs are oats, whole wheat, 9 grain bread, potatoes, brown rice. Bad carbs are white breads and pastas, processed and sugary foods. Meat and oil are very bad for you. So is cheese and dairy. Lots of vegatables, average carbs, low fat
I found the comic books one interesting. Twenty five years ago it wasn't just comics that people starting stockpiling. Sports cards, postage stamps, collectable coins--lots of these things were stockpiled by everyone with the hope of future increase in value. Of course, none of these things proved to skyrocket in value like it was predicted to by the "experts." This is just another example to not follow the crowds when trying to purchase an investment for the future.
Remember when there was all that talk about crack babies growing up and becoming mindless, remorseless, killers and that no one was ever going to be safe from them?
The information regarding the comic book speculation boom is incorrect. The boom lasted most of the 1990s and the industry didn't start imploding until 1998, not 1993.
But regarding pasta, there are super greens now. So you have veggie pasta, whole grain too. Main problem is restaurants overload with fat and salt. Drinks sugars add up and simply made me gain weight until I switched to body armor, seltzer and vitamin water which actually quenched my thirst and cost less. Physical Comics suck now too; though I would say a good couple a month may be worth trying. Especially with digital sales.
Long duk dong yeah, I use a water filter to make iced tea, or drink at work. What is wrong with you? I am discussing how to improve quality of life and you want to name call
If they are implying low carb, high fat is the way to go for long term health, they are way off. Carbohydrates in general were not the problem-REFINED carbohydrates and sugar were the problem. Every culture who has the highest longevity with the highest level of health center their diets on whole food complex carbohydrates (sweet potatoes, corn, rice, etc.). The information 25 years ago was not wrong, but it needed refinement. Read _Carbohydrates and Weight Managment_ by Dr. Hill at the Center for Obesity Research at the University of Colorado Denver. Read _The Blue Zones_ by Dan Buettner. Read The McDougall Program. Read The Ornish Program (the only diet clinically proven to REVERSE heart disease). Read The China Study. Read _How Not to Die_ by Dr. McGregor. Low-carb, high-fat is NOT the way to go. Whole foods with lots of fruits and vegetables including whole food complex carbohydrates are the way to go.
Coffee is still bad, but in the ethical and moral reasons, something about exploiting poor countries that produce coffee beans and then exploiting workers at the factories , etc. There is a reason why I don't buy Starbucks.
@Juci Coffee has no nutritional value but it does have some medical benefits so NO, coffee is NOT bad for you. Now some people just hate the taste of coffee and say that it's bad for you but we now know that to be false.
25 years ago, between the stigma, and lack of treatment options, it was pretty much a death sentence. People didn't seek what treatments were available. And it took several years before they found the cocktails that allow people to live long lives after diagnosis today.
I remember having to attend AIDS seminars like every other week back in high school. I was like, I already learned all this crap last time, can I just go home early?
Hey about 15 years ago I was looking through my grandpa's comics ...did I dream it up or was there actually a kool aid man comic where he fought the thirsties ?
The reason people thought comics were going to be big business is because they didnt realize _why_ they sold for that much. A number one of the original Superman comic in good condition was an extremely rare thing because people destroyed their comics back in the day. Kids read the comic til it fell apart and parents, who thought the comic was rags, tossed them in the trash. So in the end, very few survived long enough and were worth money due to that. That #1 you bought in 1992? Probably not worth the $2.50 you paid for it because everyone and their brother who thought comics were a big investment bought 10 copies of it so its extremely common, thus its value dropped like a rock. I swear, even as kid I knew this. Some people are just stupid I guess.
It would have been obvious that the food pyramid was bogus if people realised WHO came up with it for recommandation. One gets the impression that it's the administration for public health or something like that, but in reality it is produced by the USDA. Yes the United States Department of Agriculture. So knowing that it is quite logical that they would publish something to help the Agriculture (Agri-business). That's why the base of the pyramid is made of the things the US agriculture produces the most: corn, wheat, soy etc.. The "health" message being just the veneer of venerability to make it look like something good.
It was also heavily influenced by the Dept of Education, who needed a healthy diet to consist of the foods it was cheap and efficient to provide kids at lunch.
How exactly does this conspiracy theory jive with the current food recommendations made by The World Health Organization? Which have changed. Why change anything? In fact, how do fruits and vegetables - the obvious healthy choice around the world - not qualify as equivalent agricultural products to bread? Agribusiness had no reason to push wheat above everything else. What the fuck is your idea of healthy anyway; red meat, pork, and dairy products? I eat that shit all the time, and my health is terrible.
Fruits and vegetables are healthy IN SEASON. which means you eat apples for about 1 month out of the year, and greens all summer long. no, fruit is NOT 'the obvious healthy choice." Meat Protein is the only food source that is obtainable 12 months of the year. Your meat heavy diet would be a lot healthier if you stopped 'filling in the edges' with snickers bars, coke, and twinkies.
A lot of this was trivial, speculative rubbish then. This stuff wasn't taken seriously with the exception of AIDS for which medicine struggled to address, much like the great influenza of 1918 seemed insurmountable. Now, that which is in the public sphere, often invented and promoted by the media, political pundits, activists, and academia, too is largely rubbish, so myths abound. In 25 years we will ridicule this time. Every generation does it, assuming they are more clever than the last, but never really turn out to be so.
Sure dumbass, the statistics say that law enforcement kills black and brown people disproportionately, and then statistical analysts from law enforcement agencies and other governmental institutions put out statistics that _contradict_ the idea that those increased violent altercations are a result of encounters with an increased volume of "super predators" - since there is a constant dip in violent crime, aside from mass shootings - because that's totally how you pull a politically correct cover up. Did somebody drop you on your fucking head, or are you stupid by choice?
futurestoryteller , So you think white cops are targeting blacks at a higher rate than whites? Just curious of your answer. Also, you don't have to be so insulting. Don't get your panties in a bunch sweetpea!
futurestoryteller , ??? You there??? Clear the pot out of your brain and give me your answer! Sleep the night out on the town with the homies and give me your answer! If you need help with your own narrative I can help you.👍
I remember the food pyrimyd back in elementary...oddly i don't remember hearing anyone in school correcting it since then, guess only person I could rely on this info was the internet?
25 years ago climate alarmist and some models says coastline like California would have receded anywhere from 200 meters to 1 km at the rate of our carbon emissions. Not only did we not reduce but we multiplied emissions since then. Oh well, property values still rising along the coast.
Interesting that most of the things that turned out to not b true and was overblown fears were a result of people listening to the main stream media and not questioning the news. Turns out, they were, and still push a narrative that makes all their stories more interesting and controversial.
another thing to remember was that a lot of the media we had was more physical than everything we have online ..... most people with thought Blockbuster would continue.... whoops
Funny how they are saying the diet of the 90s was wrong but yet they changed it, and people are fatter now than back in the 90s. And carbs are not bad for you. They just aren’t. Meat is probably way way worse. The only way I have ever lost weight was to eat pretty much only carbs and fats and no meat at all
The gang one partly true. parents living in the city, think it would be idea to move to a town or village to keep there kid from joining a gang. but it all ready to late the kid is already in a gang. and say the town or village has a event they do every year. that kid then turns around and call's his or hers gang friend and they create problems, so much so that town or village just kill the event altogether.
How about things that kids believe today about 25 years ago that are absolutely false. There's a few companies that lie and exaggerate about brand history.
Seems they forgot that back then we were being warned about the climate changing because of bad humans, and by now we would all be living in a new ice age.
Scientists never embraced the new ice age stuff, that was in the media. Studies being done at the time showed global warming. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-the-global-cooling-story-came-to-be/
Darren Lyle - From the very article you linked; "Some climatologists predicted the trend would continue, inching the earth toward the colder averages of the "Little Ice Age" from the 16th to 19th centuries." Seems your "scientists never" declaration was a little goofy. By the way, 1 article in Newsweek in 1975 is equal to 96,842 hours of UA-cam videos, and 1,253,195 internet articles today. By the way, I happened to read that article while serving in the military, and there were also countless other periodicals that mimicked it.
Unlike you, I have command of the language. You wrote "Scientists never . . ." Claiming now that you meant to say "consensus" is a "dog ate my homework" level act of desperation. Besides, "consensus" is just as stupid because it means a general agreement among ALL in a group. But let's go with that, and since ALL scientists don't agree with the current "climate change/global warming" theory, it's just as meaningless as what was believed by SOME scientists in 1975. If a consensus is your standard, you'll find very few things on this planet dealing with scientific prediction that have a consensus (all of a group) in agreement. By the way, once upon a time only Galileo believed what he believed, so since there wasn't a "consensus" he was wrong, wasn't he? Everybody else who believed the Earth was the center of the universe was right, weren't they? What's true is what most people believe is true, correct?
Whatever gets you through the night, Slick. If you want to believe that the tiny group of climate scientists who claim that climate change isn't an issue are like a gaggle of brave Galileo-like people, go ahead. What motivates you isn't a desire to find truth, but to bolster a political philosophy you hang onto like gospel. It's the conservatives who refuse to look through the telescope, for fear what they may see.
If everyone practiced athleticism and physically fitness then we wouldn't have to worry so much about what we eat. And carbohydrates aren't bed for you as they are your main source of energy.
Some of these were followed by "unless we do something about it". Then the smart people did something about it. And to use the word "diet" colloquially, everyone is different and whatever works for you is best. But it's not about fad "diets", it's about healthy living. There's nothing wrong with carbs in you diet, the problem becomes when those carbs come from HFCS and refined sugars. Or getting your serving of fruits from Sunny D and orange juices that have more sugars than sodas.
What if all these predictions were warning signs and that because of them people actually did something to prevent them from happening which is why we are where we are today.
Untrue. there have been studies on the effects of gluten on people who have no sensitivity and it still causes an inflammatory response though much much less...
Most of this stuff goes back to the '80's, the killer bee thing goes back to the '70's. "The Cosby Show" goes back mostly to the 80's. This is a really crappy list. "Seinfeld" would have been a much better example of a hit show. The food pyramid goes back to the '70's, it was just formally introduced in the US in the early '90's.
#2 - If you were fortunate enough to purchase good comics in the 1980s (like Claremon'ts X-Men run), then the investment was worthwhile. If you started collecting comics in the early 90s simply as a financial investment, then you were screwed from the get-go.
Yes it is a ROCK SOLID FACT that those carbs are monstrously bad for you this can NOT be disputed....of course....don't tell the French that disappointing bit of news as the stress might raise their percentage of obesity and heart disease considering how much fat and carbs they consume on average. (Wags finger in air) Facts!

I've read that the "mainly grains" food pyramid was put forward by the American Grain Growers Association. The completely honest and unbiased FDA waved it through.
Oh and crime has dropped hugely since leaded fuel was phased out. True story.
SuperDipMonster and everyone that's ever eaten at a carrot is either dead or we'll die you people making correlations two things that aren't connected just Boggle my mind even twenty-five hundred years ago it was said the biggest evil is ignorance
America`s murder rate is awful! WTF?
25 years ago my parents believed I would be a productive member of society.
David D 25 years ago I believed that of myself then I grew up and all the jobs were overseas...for English press 1..
Seth Ellison
Capitalism, the thing that says, "if you aren't productive you won't get a vote in how society works" killed your productivity.
I think you are just inadvertently proving how awesome capitalism is.
Seth Ellison
Capitalism is survival of the most fit player in a market. If all the market needs to succeed was money then why are Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk or most billionaires so much richer than Trump. Trump started out with a few million dollars. All these guys started out with a few thousand dollars.(literally 1/1000th the money) Capitalism is just a voting system, where one dollar = one vote, and the votes decide where the nation/society's resources should go. True communism is where Joe Hick has equal voting power as Bill Gates, on where the society's funds should be put. Now do you think Joe Hick and Bill Gates deserve to be equal? I don't think so. I think a world where Joe Hick's desire to buy a nice new Truck should never be equal with Bill Gates fight to eradicate polio. Rich, for the most part, equals smart, or at least talented, and I want smart people in charge of the world. I want capitalism.
Capitalism is not a meritocracy. You give a few anecdotes, but most wealth is concentrated at the top, in the extreme. Wealthy capitalists use their money to manipulate the system to get what they want. You've apparently never heard of a monopoly. Over time, most people have less money/votes, and their quality of life plummets.
Capitalism is meritocracy, corporatism (which is what we have) is not. But corporatism and fake capitalism is still better than socialism and communism.
I still have to get used to the fact that "25 years ago" now means "in the early 90s".
Agreed. I still tend to think of grunge as being "new". I remember the jolt I felt when Eddie Vedder turned 50. When Jagger and Richards reached that age, people referred to them as "old men".
Germanletstuddll the early 90s was basically a different world. So yeah I believe it was 25 years ago
I thought this video was going to be about the 70's... Wow I'm getting older.
Psiros damn you must be because the 70s were forty years ago.
Using "25 years ago" in the title was arbitrary. Killer Bees from Mexico was more of a '70s & '80s thing than a '90s thing.
I can't handle the 90's being 25 years ago.
The number will only increase
Quarter of a century!
I'm old enough to remember that none of these were common beliefs... in fact, I remember them as just passing media garbage that people would point and laugh at while watching tv.
Aids was a big deal back then, you cannot say otherwise.
+Lay you In Well yes, but back then reporters claimed that Magic Johnson getting AIDS showed that anyone could. I remember thinking that since he claimed to be sleeping with hundreds of women per year, he was not at all a convincing example of the risk most people faced.
I dunno, I seem to remember a lot of people buying comic books and keeping them in sealed plastic bags.
Really, to me it was just another thing you heard on TV that had no bearing at all on my actual life or that of anyone I knew.
This video is stupid and spreads false information mostly....
0:27 I thought it was the Department of Agriculture that pushed the food guide pyramid.
food pyramid - moral or the story: diets are ALWAYS changing. what we think we know today, will change tomorrow. again. "coffee bad, coffee good, butter bad, butter good" - just fucking stop pigging out already!

Additionally why does the federal government need to be telling us what to eat?
Bucky Barnes The social pyramid... it barely changes. Same guys at the top.
Bucky Barnes well said man!

Uh...I miss the 90's :( God I MISS THE 90's!!!!!
Wow, remember when people thought they could literally change their gender with surgery and medication...
Times were strange indeed
So here's the thing. Carbs are a broad spectrum. Good carbs are oats, whole wheat, 9 grain bread, potatoes, brown rice. Bad carbs are white breads and pastas, processed and sugary foods. Meat and oil are very bad for you. So is cheese and dairy. Lots of vegatables, average carbs, low fat
Be fair to the 90's AIDS was a death sentence before science advanced we lost Eazy-E Freddie Mercury Rock Hudson
The FDA will keep working on dietary recommendations until they get it right. In the meantime, it's probably best to ignore much of what they say.
Oh hell no! Stop my unlimited bread sticks at Olive Garden and I'll stop your breathing...
Cosby show was more 80s than 90s - it ran from 84-92...
That robot face will haunt me.
Crime spiked in the early 1980s yet the percentage of Americans in prison has doubled since 1985.
Yeah the US just decided they wanted to lock up all the black people. Now the cops just shoot them to save time
if criminals are in prison, then they are not out committing more crime... you have heard of repeat offenders...
FingersBlazin ya because that's definitely what they're doing. You're an idiot 😂
That's because America uses its prisoners as slave labour. Slavery never ended in the USA, it's still happening today!
Starbright Wingtips umm I'm pretty sure they're not slaves. I don't know where you heard that from😂😂. Nice try though
That food pyramid was sponsored by the wheat industry. It has actually been show since that the real danger is lack of exercise and sugar consumption.
What happened to the video rental store?
You thought they were going to be with us forever!?
The carb craze went back even further. I was told to build up my muscles by bulking in carbs back in the '80s
I found the comic books one interesting. Twenty five years ago it wasn't just comics that people starting stockpiling. Sports cards, postage stamps, collectable coins--lots of these things were stockpiled by everyone with the hope of future increase in value.

If carbs make you gain weight how come I'm on the skinny side of healthy? I mostly eat carb. I just cut out meat.
Things The Media Obsessed With 25 Years Ago That Turned Out To Be Wrong
The information regarding the comic book speculation boom is incorrect. The boom lasted most of the 1990s and the industry didn't start imploding until 1998, not 1993.
Time traveler here, by 2019 bees kill most of Earth's human population. You have been warned.
2019 now. Can confirm. Bees are king now. Urban centers are just massive hives. Honey streams down by the tonne from skyscrapers. Utter lawlessness.
But regarding pasta, there are super greens now. So you have veggie pasta, whole grain too. Main problem is restaurants overload with fat and salt. Drinks sugars add up and simply made me gain weight until I switched to body armor, seltzer and vitamin water which actually quenched my thirst and cost less.

Sorry you are wrong and misleading. Broccoli is a carb. Asparagus is a carb. Oatmeal is carbs. You can't eat anything healthier than these items.
"I will destroy humans.". Sorry, social media has already done that.
If they are implying low carb, high fat is the way to go for long term health, they are way off. Carbohydrates in general were not the problem-REFINED carbohydrates and sugar were the problem.

Low-carb, high-fat is NOT the way to go. Whole foods with lots of fruits and vegetables including whole food complex carbohydrates are the way to go.
I remember back then when they thought coffee was bad for you. I'm glad they were wrong.
MILK IS BAD for ME & I am Certain that I am NOT ALONE!!!
Coffee is still bad, but in the ethical and moral reasons, something about exploiting poor countries that produce coffee beans and then exploiting workers at the factories , etc. There is a reason why I don't buy Starbucks.
@Juci Coffee has no nutritional value but it does have some medical benefits so NO, coffee is NOT bad for you. Now some people just hate the taste of coffee and say that it's bad for you but we now know that to be false.

The super predator thing kinda did happen. It just didn't spill out to all neighborhoods as predicted. Where I've lived, it's real.
Hey about 15 years ago I was looking through my grandpa's comics ...did I dream it up or was there actually a kool aid man comic where he fought the thirsties ?
Yep! www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=219291
For sure.
I never paid more attention or learned that food pyramid, now it's known to be bullshit :)
The cereal farm lobby had a lot to do with the carbo-loading "science".
Exactly. Susan Powter advocated real, not processed, food.
I remember killer bee safety assemblies in the mid-90s
If you're allergic to bees, it doesn't matter what type of New it is. Just carry an epi-pen with you like my friend does.
The reason people thought comics were going to be big business is because they didnt realize _why_ they sold for that much.

The article was published the day before I was born. That makes me feel old.
This is not the nineties I knew.
I remember when dinosaurs didn't have feathers.
And Pluto was a planet.
And consoles were winning the gaming war with PC's.
I liked the way killer bees were knocking people off. They were just so good at it.
AI is not an "imaginary thing"...
Comic Books are still a good investment The Ones printed BEFORE 1970 This applies to ALMOST every collectable
as well as supply and demand

The Super-predator thing is just about true these days! It is just covered up because it isn't politically correct to talk about.
Sure dumbass, the statistics say that law enforcement kills black and brown people disproportionately, and then statistical analysts from law enforcement agencies and other governmental institutions put out statistics that _contradict_ the idea that those increased violent altercations are a result of encounters with an increased volume of "super predators" - since there is a constant dip in violent crime, aside from mass shootings - because that's totally how you pull a politically correct cover up.

futurestoryteller , So you think white cops are targeting blacks at a higher rate than whites? Just curious of your answer. Also, you don't have to be so insulting. Don't get your panties in a bunch sweetpea!
futurestoryteller , You there? I'm waiting. You jumped on and attacked my comment QUICK! Your not responding now.
"You're"...
futurestoryteller , ??? You there??? Clear the pot out of your brain and give me your answer! Sleep the night out on the town with the homies and give me your answer! If you need help with your own narrative I can help you.👍
"Super Predators" - WTF!?! I lived through the 90's and never heard of that one. Sure, everything else to one degree or another, but not that one.
Yikes! The last one is a Terminator
I remember the thing about the killer bees. It still haunts me.
Nowadays you could do a video titled: "Things People Believed 25 days Ago That Ended Up Being Wrong"
25 years? The 90s were only 10 years ago, what are you- talking- ab-
holy shit what happened
Even then nobody believed Street Sharks were going to be a thing
According to TIME magazine in the 70s scientists were worried about global cooling and the start of a new Ice Age.
I remember the food pyrimyd back in elementary...oddly i don't remember hearing anyone in school correcting it since then, guess only person I could rely on this info was the internet?
When you see a video about twenty five years ago, assume it's about the seventies and then realise you're old as fuck.
Well video games took off in the 90's so it was only natural that the crime rate would go down.
thanks for wasting 5 minutes.
25 years ago climate alarmist and some models says coastline like California would have receded anywhere from 200 meters to 1 km at the rate of our carbon emissions. Not only did we not reduce but we multiplied emissions since then. Oh well, property values still rising along the coast.
Ha ha, people were so dumb when they didn't know what would happen decades later! Not like today!
1:52 I have that Comic but I trashed it all up
Ah Bill Cosby, these were the days, jello pudding and roofies, nothing better.
yeah stop the unlimited breadsticks at olive garden #MakeCheddarBiscuitsKingAgain
Wow I had completely forgotten about Susan Powter
Interesting that most of the things that turned out to not b true and was overblown fears were a result of people listening to the main stream media and not questioning the news. Turns out, they were, and still push a narrative that makes all their stories more interesting and controversial.
0:48 THE OFFICE!!!!!!!
Shhh... Don’t tell them about Murder Hornets.
another thing to remember was that a lot of the media we had was more physical than everything we have online ..... most people with thought Blockbuster would continue.... whoops
Funny how they are saying the diet of the 90s was wrong but yet they changed it, and people are fatter now than back in the 90s. And carbs are not bad for you. They just aren’t. Meat is probably way way worse. The only way I have ever lost weight was to eat pretty much only carbs and fats and no meat at all
The gang one partly true. parents living in the city, think it would be idea to move to a town or village to keep there kid from joining a gang. but it all ready to late the kid is already in a gang. and say the town or village has a event they do every year. that kid then turns around and call's his or hers gang friend and they create problems, so much so that town or village just kill the event altogether.
Whoa! Why y'all tryna stop Olive Garden endless breadsticks? Thats just wrong lol
OH NO NOT THE BEES
How about things that kids believe today about 25 years ago that are absolutely false. There's a few companies that lie and exaggerate about brand history.
Seems they forgot that back then we were being warned about the climate changing because of bad humans, and by now we would all be living in a new ice age.
Scientists never embraced the new ice age stuff, that was in the media. Studies being done at the time showed global warming. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-the-global-cooling-story-came-to-be/
Darren Lyle - From the very article you linked; "Some climatologists predicted the trend would continue, inching the earth toward the colder averages of the "Little Ice Age" from the 16th to 19th centuries." Seems your "scientists never" declaration was a little goofy. By the way, 1 article in Newsweek in 1975 is equal to 96,842 hours of UA-cam videos, and 1,253,195 internet articles today. By the way, I happened to read that article while serving in the military, and there were also countless other periodicals that mimicked it.
I meant the consensus among scientists. You're being obtuse. physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.5.8199/full/
Unlike you, I have command of the language. You wrote "Scientists never . . ." Claiming now that you meant to say "consensus" is a "dog ate my homework" level act of desperation. Besides, "consensus" is just as stupid because it means a general agreement among ALL in a group. But let's go with that, and since ALL scientists don't agree with the current "climate change/global warming" theory, it's just as meaningless as what was believed by SOME scientists in 1975. If a consensus is your standard, you'll find very few things on this planet dealing with scientific prediction that have a consensus (all of a group) in agreement. By the way, once upon a time only Galileo believed what he believed, so since there wasn't a "consensus" he was wrong, wasn't he? Everybody else who believed the Earth was the center of the universe was right, weren't they? What's true is what most people believe is true, correct?
Whatever gets you through the night, Slick. If you want to believe that the tiny group of climate scientists who claim that climate change isn't an issue are like a gaggle of brave Galileo-like people, go ahead. What motivates you isn't a desire to find truth, but to bolster a political philosophy you hang onto like gospel. It's the conservatives who refuse to look through the telescope, for fear what they may see.
If everyone practiced athleticism and physically fitness then we wouldn't have to worry so much about what we eat. And carbohydrates aren't bed for you as they are your main source of energy.
Beanie babies suburban housewives thought they can make mega bucks with beanie babies
Some of these were followed by "unless we do something about it". Then the smart people did something about it. And to use the word "diet" colloquially, everyone is different and whatever works for you is best. But it's not about fad "diets", it's about healthy living. There's nothing wrong with carbs in you diet, the problem becomes when those carbs come from HFCS and refined sugars. Or getting your serving of fruits from Sunny D and orange juices that have more sugars than sodas.
That's like people all thought we would die of swine flu... no one really believed the hype.
Killer Bees will kill us all-- The Wu-Tang Clan
We thought everyone would be more intelligent too, shame that never happened.
The super bees were a tag team wrestlers
Hate to tell you, comic books are still very hot! Due to all the Marvel/DC movies they are still worth more even the stuff from the 90's.
the robot said "OK" because the guy said "Please" and the robot interpreted it as a better answer considering he was asking nicely/sincerely.
Nice
I wondered where all that crap went or if I had imagined it.
What if all these predictions were warning signs and that because of them people actually did something to prevent them from happening which is why we are where we are today.
Whole grains are awesome. The keto craze sucks
gluten causes inflammation naturally though =/
That is only for some people that have celiac disease or a have a gluten "sensitivity". For many people gluten causes no problems whatsoever.
Untrue. there have been studies on the effects of gluten on people who have no sensitivity and it still causes an inflammatory response though much much less...
Would you like to cite those studies and are there conflicting studies?
Say for instance, WebMD, which is not a study but a pretty standard medical reference, says this:
"Wheat, rye, and barley: The focus here is gluten, and this one's a controversial maybe. People who have celiac disease need to avoid gluten. But for everyone else, the science is solid that whole grains are beneficial."

Remarks like these have formed my opinion, so if you have specific studies to show, that would be great.
1:25 POWDERD TOOOOOOOAST-MAAAAAAANN!!!
Most of this stuff goes back to the '80's, the killer bee thing goes back to the '70's. "The Cosby Show" goes back mostly to the 80's. This is a really crappy list. "Seinfeld" would have been a much better example of a hit show. The food pyramid goes back to the '70's, it was just formally introduced in the US in the early '90's.
HIV and AIDS are two different things.
#2 - If you were fortunate enough to purchase good comics in the 1980s (like Claremon'ts X-Men run), then the investment was worthwhile. If you started collecting comics in the early 90s simply as a financial investment, then you were screwed from the get-go.
Yes it is a ROCK SOLID FACT that those carbs are monstrously bad for you this can NOT be disputed....of course....don't tell the French that disappointing bit of news as the stress might raise their percentage of obesity and heart disease considering how much fat and carbs they consume on average.
(Wags finger in air) Facts!
I bought the right comics in the 90s.
