Fruit waxing is the process of covering fruits (and, in some cases, vegetables) with artificial waxing material. Natural wax is removed first, usually by washing, followed by a coating of a biological or petroleum derived wax

They also use just wax, wax with shellac, or just shellac.

The manufacturing defect-caused leak? The debris impact theory is pretty much debunked now that two leaked in the same way, and the next one is delayed to fix the same defect.

>None of that is necessarily a bad thing
Keep your adding propaganda away from me! One day we will live in a world where nothing is ever added to anything and then I can finally rest.

Alarmingly, the other 40% of US foods aren't technically food.

It's not wax, it's shellac, aka resin excreted by lac bugs.

USA has huge portion sizes for food.

There is actually an anime called Planetes that is about characters clearing up junk in space around the planet.
It could actually end up a reality.

But that would cost money!
Let's table this until we have a way to do this for free, or better yet, until someone can make some money off of it.

People often get worked up about the additives and get worked into thinking that all added sugar/oil are evil. But I think a better view is simply that ultra processed foods are bad, and not to worry about the macros.
So if you want to be healthy, you don't need to go on a crazy extreme diet avoiding certain macros, just avoid ultra-processed foods.
>People eating ultra-processed foods ate more calories and gained more weight than when they ate a minimally processed diet, according to results from a National Institutes of Health study. The difference occurred even though meals provided to the volunteers in both the ultra-processed and minimally processed diets had the same number of calories and macronutrients.

Studies show that when controlling for macros, people eat more of processed foods.
So yes, you would expect switching from processed foods to unprocessed foods, would help you lose weight.

I mean some fruits and vegetables often have wax on them.

Studies show that ultra-processed foods are bad, even when macros are controlled.
So I'm guessing this is just some kind of proxy measure to determine if it's processed vs unprocessed food.

yeah, I suspect you're onto something here. The numbers flesh out one way or another in the end I'm sure.

I said you’ll know more about what goes into your food. I understand the complexity of modern food production.

I suspect it's because a higher ratio of females to males wastes less resources on unnecessary males. If there is 1 female to every 1 male, a population of 10 can have 5 sets of offspring every mating season. If there are 4 females to every 1 male, a population of 10 can have 8 sets of offspring every mating season.

Nope, cured up all of my infection. Seems to take care of fungal infections too..
Ironically it's a wonderful plant for the few that aren't allergic.
Before you shower it off, rub dirt on the skin to take care of most of the oils.. this way it's not left any residue in the shower.

Need to make a distinction between satellites that are in low orbits that naturally decay very quickly and those that are not.
Most of those 60,000 satellites will be in the former category.
