Might fuck around and try to substantially lower the cost of higher education in America.

We still have a lot of work to do. 39% of people believe that cancer can be cured with alternative "natural" treatments alone. Nearly half of young people believe this. This is misinformation that kills. https://t.co/Rc5qnvPMRy

Anthony Bourdain had money, he had fame, he was respected. He had maybe the coolest job I can conceive of. This is all by way of saying: Depression doesn’t give a single solitary fuck. Get help if you need help. We need you here. Suicide prevention hotline: [phone]

Dr. Oz linked health to astrology — and this doctor isn’t having it https://t.co/V0ijKuHq1e

What if your astrologer and your medium disagree. Who do you choose for health advice? https://t.co/9UGMz4ONET

Isn't "nutritionist" just a made up term for people who are not dietitians who want to appear to be as qualified as "dietitians"?
