Miracle foods are in the news. This one will make you slim. The other one will smooth your wrinkles. And the third will make you memorable in bed. It does not take you long to figure out that all of this is a load of crap. But I just came across an article that argues that miracle foods are for the birds. For good measure, a food scientist is queried on many of the foods in the news. Lo and behold, the scientist also argues that all this is a load of crap. Once again, it does not take you long to figure out that those who go for miracle foods will skip the article. Actually, they will revile it. Such an article is entirely in vain, it goes without saying. It is enough to remember that people go for all sorts of miracles so much more readily than they go for science, no matter how miraculous. God is my witness, as it were. But no article debunking religion will get you far, if anywhere. Omnium malorum stultitia est mater. And yet, you cannot argue with fools.
