Summary

This quote draws a parallel between the current state of nutrition science and the field of surgery in 1650. It suggests that while nutrition science is intriguing and shows promise, it is still in its early stages of development and not yet advanced enough to be completely trusted or relied upon. Just as one would hesitate to undergo surgery in the 17th century due to limited understanding and less refined techniques, the quote implies that caution should be exercised in fully embracing and implementing findings from nutrition science until further advancements and consensus are achieved.

I love actors, both my parents were actors, and the work wit

I love actors, both my parents were actors, and the work with actors is the most enjoyable part of making a film. It's important that they feel protected and are confident they won't be betrayed.

It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truthand listen to the song of that syren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
