My trader joes 20/80 ground beef has 1.5 grams of transfat, out of 22 grams of total fat. WTF, I thought transfats only existed in processed foods with vegetable oil.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
all ruminants' meat & milk contains traces of vaccenic acid, which is a naturally occuring fat and an isomer of oleic acid (the predominant fatty acid in olive oil).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccenic_acid
it is converted by humans into CLA, which is a good thing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_linoleic_acid
incidentally, the saturated isomer of oleic acid is stearic acid, another 'good fat'...
The 'bad fats' are other fats with trans bonds rather than cis bonds that do not occur anywhere in nature. Humans have been consuming the milk & more importantly, meat, of ruminants since the very first deer or woolly mammoth hunter. The trans fats of concern, resulting from the partial hydrogenation of soybean and other oils, were never consumed by humans in any quantity until the commercialization of Crisco one hundred years ago.
the jury is still out as to whether or not the stearic acid that results from full hydrogenation is as good for you as natural stearic acid or as bad for you as other artificial trans fats.

I thought cows produce CLA/VA only when they are fed grass.

Corn??? But, but, but, we're trying to fatten the cows, not make them lose weight. Why not just feed them saturated fats??? /sarcasmThrottle said:
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
