Re: students become cheap billboards
There is a pro to that kind of thing. An off-shoot company pays homeless people to hold advertising signs instead of begging for money. That's similar to the rest of us in this Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt world of ours! Only we don't get paid for the advertising we do! Cheap advertising, yes. Giving street people a chance to have some dignity - maybe. It's worse then them getting themselves off the street, but better then teaching some school kids who have a brighter future that they are only worth billboards on their skin, as if clothing labels weren't bad enough.
The first chef
First came fire ... and then, as the camera shifts to the soon to be late-village idiot, you're left wondering -- just what was going through that mind -- and food is put on the fire, for the first time, and cooking is accidentally discovered by humanity. The first chef is ridiculed by grunts, then the local thug tries a sample of the burnt carcass, and soon, everybody gets queued at the McDonalds drive-thru. What happened? Richard Wrangham of Harvard believes there's more to cooking than evolutionary history would have you believe. Wrangham points out that there is no way homo sapiens could survive on just raw food. Raw food just doesn't give up calories as easily as cooked food -- and raw food makes the digestive system expend more energy to get at those calories. Cooking on the other hand breaks complex molecules down, allowing the digestive system to make easy work of them -- and cooking also softens food, allowing the body to get to the calories with less effort...
