08:01 –<\/span> Speaking of the adorable Amber Marshall, I just noticed yesterday that she’d been in a movie that was released last November, so I grabbed a copy with BitTorrent. When Barbara got home yesterday, I told her about it and she said we could watch it this weekend.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

What I didn’t tell her was the name of the movie. It’s called Mutant World<\/a>, and it has a 3.6 rating on IMDB. It’s about a bunch of Doomsday Preppers that go into a bunker and come out 10 years after an asteroid impact to find the world populated by mutant zombies. When I brought up the file to make sure it was readable, I clicked at various random locations on the timeline. One of those was a scene with Amber using her assault rifle to fire on a mob. I’m in love all over again. I just hope she doesn’t get eaten.

During my dad’s final illness in 1990, he was suffering from congestive heart failure. I remember a discussion I had at the hospital with a dietitian or nutritionist or whatever they call the people who pretend to understand the effects of diet on human health. They had my dad on what amounted to a no-salt diet, and she was going on and on about the evils of salt in general and the sodium ion in particular. I asked her what evidence she had for her assertions, and told her that I suspected that the sodium ion was good for you and that most people consumed too little salt rather than too much. She looked at me as if I were from Mars. So, fast-forward 25 years. I was reading a study yesterday that finds pretty definitively that low-salt diets are killers.

As I’ve been saying for at least 40 years, “nutritionists” and “dietitians” know nothing. They have no data upon which to base their recommendations. Fortunately, a couple million years of evolution has provided us with a pretty good way of determining which foods are good for us. It it tastes good, it’s probably good for you; if it doesn’t, it’s probably not. That’s why these low-sugar, low-fat, low-salt “healthy” foods are very bad for you. They taste like crap, which tells me they are crap.
