@petergleick you would not believe the number of alcoholic middle aged men I know that got SO fucking mad when the RECOMMENDED daily drinks was changed from 2 to 1. Like man, you're drinking 5 minimum, why do you care.

@petergleick The entire tRump regime are mentally disabled.

@petergleick they’re just waiting for some additional “donations” from the tobacco companies.

I've never seriously considered being vegetarian, but listening to these idiots has convinced me to give up red meat.
