A redhead writes about skin cancer

And come to think of it, in stereotypes, an Indian guy wrote about beef?
In other news, someone should have written about the sex trade, specifically at laws that punish prostitutes and not their clients. The DC Madam, who supposedly ran a prostitution ring serving Capitol Hill, hung herself to avoid a 4-6 year jail sentence. Mmm, corruption.
Instead, let's rock the totally sexualized sunscreen ad. Problem here? One is aimed at parents of small children, one displays nude men and includes "largest organ" in the slogan. Perhaps not overlapping audiences.

A deep, abiding love of bad TV

Shout-outs.
Removing personal responsibility from obesity awareness - the American Dream is hurting our overweight population. No lapel pin here.
Corporate culture shirking responsibility - problem users cause obesity, not problem products.
I'd like an evolutionary argument here somewhere, people are built to survive, not buy 3L bottles of Coke for $2 and eat whole 3500-calorie pans of brownies for less.
100g sirloin: 259 calories.
100g Betty Crocker brownies: 397 calories.
100g Coke: 40 calores. But that's only 4 ounces, and who drinks 4 ounces?
100g white rice: 361 calories.
100g black beans: 227 calories. Also, 15g protein and 15g fiber.
Compare the above two to 100g whole-wheat bread: 261 calories, 6 grams of fiber, 8 of protein.
Superfood, anyone?

Twice as much sauce as noodles...

Sounds like an atkins thing. Or a noodle-hater.
Widely traveled, and has cooked with Rachel Ray, now he'll talk about downer cows.
We waited until 2004 to stop allowing downer cows into the food supply, and the USDA brought downer cows back, pending veterinarian examination.
Problem: You need to biopsy cow brains to find spongiform encephalitis (mad cow), which no vet is going to do, and no existing group of vets will be able to do for all the downer cows.
Conflict of interest? Yes. Flawed data? Maybe.
Real problem? Economics and cost-cutting reduces the quality of treatment and feed of cows, and farming is already horribly over-subsidized in the US. Botswana, where there are more cows than people, currently is supposed to have no mad cow. Can you buy Botswanan beef? No.
Best slip? "Inhumane Society."
What did the policy do? Remove mad cow controls.

Archery?

Vertical transmission of the hiv through breastfeeding. Black on fuchsia background - completele unreadable with any light.
Cultural incompetence: You will give your baby HIV, maybe. So don't breastfeed if you can manage not to, otherwise, whatever.
HIV kills babies, so does diarrhea. Formula causes microabrasions in the esophagus? Is there broken glass in formula?
The real problem: It's that difficult to feed babies in many parts of the world.

Oversharing!

Next presenter, a whole-grain protester, has celiac. No worry, I'd protest the 24oz/24hours until I got osteoporosis.
So many cartoons.
How many people are looking at celiac as a killer weight loss option? Don't absorb any food? Terrible gastrointestinal cramping? Better than surgery, I'd guess.
Also, way, way too much history.
Opiate reaction - we need needle sharing for whole-grain lovers.
Unfortunately the list of non-gluten grains are all nutritionally inferior to wheat.
The real problem: She nails it, look at other foods, stop allowing public health to be subsidized by marketers for various food industries.
Also, daily fiber without wheat: black beans. More protein, more fiber, 75 cents a can.

Fabulous Prizes and Student Presenters!

The name of the game today is "what's the real problem?" - regarding presentations.
But first - Name that TA!
Fear of falling, same best friend since fourth grade, loves washing dishes - Moonstruck Milk Chocolate!
So many introductions.
Needle exchange for IV drug users: He's skipping the Snake Oil portion of the policy, including the elixirs of heroin.
Culture of drug use - ritual of procurement, preparation, and use. Culture, however, is not always a good thing. One could argue a culture of pedophilia should be eliminated, though this does include direct harm, whereas heroin only involves personal or secondary harm.
Harm-reduction model - vs. health and moral - I like the name. Drug user protests against cold-turkey approaches? Stigmatization?
Nobody is legitimately addicted to heroin for pain control. (Unless they've been hooked since 1914.)
No additional harm in community - good point, there's always alarm that any protective measures will support new users.
So needle-sharing programs need to legitimize an "acceptable level" of heroin use. How much rehab are we willing to pay for?
What's the problem? Treatment of addiction is terribly ineffective, and attitudes towards heroin use (user's/drug culture and outside).

Appleton Nutrution Report

Sports drink for breakfast. And now there are no dropouts, not at-risk children, because they're eating healthily. We need an epidemiologist, someone, please define causation and correlation.
And check the relative nutrition facts of gatorade and soda.
Also, "there's no too much seasoning or nothing like that." Wisconsin school-children: dropping out because the food's too hot.
