Monday evening roundup

Check out the hilarious shrimp-on-a-treadmill video at the bottom of this fact-checker post. Though it makes me feel kind of bad about eating shrimp (not that I do so often--I've been mostly completely vegan of late). Besides, Umbra says we sometimes-pescatarians needn't worry. Although Umbra also kind of annoys me by falling into the soy-has-issues-too trap--not because she says that soy has issues, but because she cites genetic engineering as the issue. Let me tell you, again, that you're more likely to consume genetically engineered soy by eating meat, because that's what your meat probably eats. It's nearly impossible to buy genetically engineered soy milk or tofu--Whole Foods and Trader Joe's only sell organic (which is not GE) and even H-Mart's store-brand tofu is non-GE. Now, if you're consuming a lot of Boca burgers or other processed foods, chances are GE soy was used, but it's also probably the least of your concerns if you eat processed foods often.

The Post had a big article on income inequality over the weekend but it's kind of blah. Ezra Klein's explanation of why reminds me of Lewis Black's personal ball washer:

Oh, here's another newsflash about as surprising as growing income inequality: Fox News has a partisan ideological agenda.

Props to CNN for pointing out, in this era of antagonism toward bikes, that bicycles are an amazing thing. Minus props to CNN for the incredibly silly summary to the side, which counts on people not knowing who Susan B. Anthony was. Besides, what does "stay-at-home wives or daughters" even mean?
