Tuesday Links
Oct. 2nd, 2007 03:33 pmI wish I was AT the links, instead of writing links for blog postings. Oh well.
John Scalzi's finally got his main blog fixed. He bit the bullet and changed blogging software. At any rate, he's found a cluster of interesting stuff.
How to Fire in France is a very interesting post, outlining how one goes about actually firing somebody in France. The author, an American ex-pat, has a humorous take on it. Now, lest one think the guy's a raving Ayn Rand conservative, his other blog hobby is bashing G. W. Bush. What I found most interesting was the second comment, whereby somebody attempted to defend the asinine French rules.
Also from Scalzi (via one of his paid blogs, By The Way, are two articles about Alzheimer's. My grandfather died of that disease, so I found both of them quite interesting. One claims that Alzheimer's is a form of diabetes.
Lastly,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ann_totusek found a link suggesting that low cholesterol leads to premature babies.
I think we're discovering how much we don't know about how our bodies work, and how influential diet is. I also think that we're discovering (slowly and painfully) that sex, age and even genetic disposition are important factors in what you should be eating. No, I'm not a doctor and don't even play one on TV, but there appears to be evidence that there is no one good diet for everybody.
