  1. Benjamin Andersen Brandon Jennings took the international route before he went into the NBA because he wanted to get paid.

  2. "3 guaranteed hot meals a day" - did you even watch the damn video!? Also when the hell is this political? It's nothing to do with if you like the donkey or elephant. LOL at the dumb irrelevant to the topic political labeling. Makes you sound ignorant.

  3. silly science: http://www.sciencedaily.com/search/?keyword=sugar - sugar is SCARY stuff. Honestly, look at those articles. And this is from an academic site, none of this fad-diet promoting bollocks.

  4. habadashery2009 the science is true, however it is FAR easier to get excess sugar in the diet than excess saturated fat which negates the biological efficiency of processing fat vs sugar. Also fat isn't an chemically addictive as sugar, which has proven to be one of the most addictive substances on the planet, more than cocaine and close, if not, as addictive as heroin. "Overall, this research has revealed that sugar and sweet reward can not only substitute to addictive drugs, like cocaine, but can even be more rewarding and attractive. At the neurobiological level, the neural substrates of sugar and sweet reward appear to be more robust than those of cocaine (i.e., more resistant to functional failures), possibly reflecting past selective evolutionary pressures for seeking and taking foods high in sugar and calories." -Sugar addiction: pushing the drug-sugar analogy to the limit. Ahmed SH, Guillem K, Vandaele Y. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2013 Jul;16(4):434-9. doi: 10.1097/MCO.0b013e328361c8b8. Review. PMID: 23719144 But basically, I've read plenty of academic studies (none of this sourcing from fad-diet sites, yay for Google Scholar) and to nail it down to one sentence it's: calories in - calories out.

  5. ProPaleo Too bad you don't realise that the paleo diet is based on flawed thinking and completely wrong from a human archaeology standpoint. But hey, what do actual archaeologists in the field know right? Silly studies that point to a balanced diet being best every single damn time. Basically this: 'How to Really Eat Like a Hunter-Gatherer: Why the Paleo Diet Is Half-Baked' http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-paleo-diet-half-baked-how-hunter-gatherer-really-eat/
