Chocolate should be taxed because it's making us fat and it's addictive, says one UK busy body...
what is it with these guys? everything nowadays is "addicting"?
And now, another scientist says salt is "addicting" and is nature's anti depressant...
then read down to where it says in the world the average salt intake is 10 gms/d but Amerricans only average 8 gm/day, (scientists say we should eat only 4 gm/d.)
Yup...soy sauce makes you happy.

It's known that the "spanish flu" in 1918-19 killed more people than world war II, but I just heard in a lecture that one million Germans starved due to the British blockade in 1916-1918...how many deaths from the flu/secondary bacterial pneumonia were from malnutrition?
(and if you have an interest in the subject, check Professor Anderson's excellent podcast lectures at Berkeley)
The Black Plague epidemic may have been exacerbated by the "little ice age"...
and how many deaths of American Indians were also partly due to the detrioration in their urban societies due to climate change in the two centuries before Columbus?
maybe they should have eaten more chocolate. It not only makes you happy, but it's antibacterial...

The little ice age was from 1150 and 1460 but later the climate was cold between 1560 and 1850... the BBC claims that some scientists say the second phase was due to depopulation from the black plague...fewer people meant more forests.
