golis: Happy Bourbon Day! (via Not That You Need An Excuse To Drink Bourbon, But Today Is Bourbon Day | The Awl) So glad to see this. Although it reminds me all I have at the house right now is some Scotch and Jameson Reserve. Bulleit’s my favorite of all. I can use my stop at the pharmacy on the way home as an excuse to buy a new bottle.

How much more meat are we consuming now v. then?How was processed food defined for this study? I’m surprised we aren’t spending more than we are on beverages. It would be really interesting to see the breakdown by beverage type of now v. then.

Several follow up questions I’d love to know the answers to:

How much less expensive is meat now than 30 years ago?

How much more meat are we consuming now v. then?

How was processed food defined for this study?

I’m surprised we aren’t spending more than we are on beverages. It would be really interesting to see the breakdown by beverage type of now v. then.
