Cool story, bro. I hope you enjoy your cheeseburgers and diabetes. It suggests a healthy diet of protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. I presume that would be an immense improvement over yours.
But convincing people to eat fiber gets a weird amount of opposition
I haven’t seen much. It’s usually when it comes in the form of vegan evangelism and moralising. “Eat a balanced diet which include meat and veggies” is about as milquetoast a message as you can get with very little opposition. In fact, the new U.S. food pyramid is exactly that. Reception has been very good. It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the old one.
New York spends $29,873 per student (the highest in the country). California spends $16,739 per student.
Utah spends $9,496 per student and has higher NAEP 2022 Grade 4 Reading average (221 vs 214 for NY), and NAEP 2022 Grade 8 Math average (282 vs 274 for NY).
Florida spends $11,681 per student and has higher NAEP 2022 Grade 4 Reading (225 vs 214 in California), and higher NAEP 2022 Grade 8 Math: (271 vs 270 in California).
The issue isn’t funding. It’s also not ideology, since there are clear examples of red states with better educational outcomes than blue states. All while spending much less per capita.
