@jeffgirgenti I did the same thing, but that was also a particularly unfamous time. There are eras before that with many more household names. — PolitiTweet.org

Who from our modern era (say 1800 – today) will be a household name in the year 3000? — PolitiTweet.org

Given how many human years (and quality years) are lost to obesity, this should be a major area of medical research — PolitiTweet.org

@timdoke @Liv_Boeree Interesting! — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
Fascinating thread that hypothesizes that the modern obesity phenomenon is caused mostly by chemical contaminants. No idea how credible this is but it’s one of the most important (and sad) stories of our era if there’s truth to it. h/t @Liv_Boeree — PolitiTweet.org

I even have an AUDIO tsundoku https://t.co/kdP9pr7onG — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
Tsundoku: a Japanese term for the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them. So happy I have now a term for this major issue in my life. Here's a small part of my current tsundoku pile. What's in yours? https://t.co/jJ6Z9BtWeh — PolitiTweet.org

@NicholasJTerry @VegB23 Seems like ingesting large quantities of CO2 might turn out to not be so great? — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
@VegB23 Just seems like the soda addicts became the diet soda addicts and many today are now seltzer addicts. Seltzer is clearly way less bad than soda, but I'd guess 2040 people might wince watching many of us have 3 cans of seltzer a day. — PolitiTweet.org

@RillianGrant Yeah anything with white rice. But I think a lot of people think of a big rice meal as unhealthy today, while many consider 12 pieces of sushi to be an optimum healthy lunch. — PolitiTweet.org

Some guesses of mine: Excessive seltzer Fruits that have been modified over the decades into sugar bombs: grapes, ripe or past-ripe bananas, etc Fruit juice Sushi rolls for many people of Western ancestry (who often have huge blood sugar spikes from rice) A large breakfast — PolitiTweet.org

People in the early 1900s thought soda was healthy. People in the 1950s thought white bread was healthy. People in the 1990s thought margarine was healthy. What's something most of us think is healthy today that future people will shake their heads at? — PolitiTweet.org
