Personally, I find all the other eschatological possibilities much more disturbing. The heaven/hell dichotomy is unnerving on a lot of obvious levels. Reincarnation seems fraught with neverending suffering. And the idea of becoming a “ghost” or a spirit, forever consigned to haunt some old place is as terrible as it is ridiculous.
I’m looking forward to my hard earned non-existence, thank you very much.

I think that’s why. But maybe I’m just overly cynical.
Not on a “per calorie” basis they aren’t. And I’m not really sure by what other metric you can compare them. But look at how many calories of broccoli $3 gets you compared to potato chips. Then you have to add in the time of preparation.
Additionally, many impoverished people tend to live in “food deserts”, areas without grocery stores, but many fast Food locations.
The deck is definitely stacked against the impoverished.
Just because a slur appears with a definition in a dictionary, does not make it acceptable. And maybe it was acceptable at one time, but things change.
Considering the numerous comments I’ve read in the last few days saying something along the lines of, “What!? Cargo shorts are out of style? I’m never giving up my cargo pockets!”
I’m guessing that currently there isn’t a lot of overlap between those two communities. But I’m hopeful that a MFA and a Frugal MFA take root here soon!
There have been three accidents related to nuclear power generation, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukashima. There were a total of 33 deaths attributed to those three incidents (32 from Chernobyl and 1 from Fukashima.)
There are 58 deaths per terawatt-hour attributed to coal alone, mostly due to air pollution.
I’d say that nuclear power is very close to completely harmless in comparison. Certainly in contrast to its perception among the general public.
