    I only know SAD as meaning seasonal affective disorder. What do you mean it as?

      SAD=Standard American Diet.

      In other words, eating wayyyy too much meat (and eggs/dairy) and very low on fruits and vegetables:

        California chiming in: Trumpy just wasted 5 billion gallons of water earmarked for fruits, veg, rice and nuts.

        Expect that to be an issue this summer too.

          I figure that was purposeful sabotage, but it’s also possible donvict is just really that stupid.

            No way. He’s got smart people with him. They know exactly what this is gonna entail. They’re speed running the fall of America now. They’re blitzing it asap before a resistance can form.

          Irrigation in California is even more so used for growing animal feed. It will be a larger problem for the dairy and beef industries

          Yes, it seems like many countries top us for egg consumption. It’s probably because much of the SAD is about consuming so much other animal protein (often marketed as a health food, lol, because “protein”) besides eggs, so maybe they take a back seat in this unhealthy lifestyle.

          Yeah, seems Wikipedia now redirects from SAD -> Western pattern diet. Not sure when that came into use, but SAD is something you’d see fairly frequently on some corners of the 'net…or in places like government sites, though who knows how long they’ll be up:
