Are people already regretting their choice?

It takes 3-4 oranges to get 8oz of juice.
BBC had a show about sugar years ago on why fruit juice is not that heathy because sugar is sugar.

Right, but we are talking about the difference between fresh squeezed orange juice and the sugar-added kind that, say, Tropicana sells. The only difference I can find between fresh squeezed OJ and the real thing is that the former loses some of the fiber. Also, the body does need some sugar.
 
Sugar is a basic nutrient. There's nothing unhealthy about it; You just don't need much (because it's a very concentrated energy source) so it's easier to consume more than you burn if your diet includes sugar.

If you are overweight, or have diabetes or a family history of diabetes, you might need to be careful about your sugar intake (and about your diet more generally).

If not, avoiding sugar is not going to do anything to improve your health.

If your dietary energy intake is too high, you need to eat less food. Eating less sugar is an easy option for many, in such cases, again because it is very energy dense; But "sugar is bad for you" is a massive oversimplification.

And GUESS WHO gets to pay for this debacle? You, me and every taxpayer.
Coulda gave them all to Gazans for the cost of a Trump golf outing.

The problem is that at least in the US, people eat way too much sugary foods. I'm thinking of buying some small juice glasses so we only drink the juice from fewer oranges. We're not drinking OJ lately, but I told Mr. Sohy to only make me enough juice from no more than 2 oranges. We left our juicer in the Indy condo and have't gotten a new one yet.

Ok. That has nothing to do with Trump supporters regretting their vote and sadly the few that I know personally haven't said that they regret their vote. Yesterday, I started taking walks around our block with one of the dogs and much to my surprise, there were two Trump signs on the front lawn of a nice well maintained home. I thought the only Trump sign left was on another nearby street that is in front of a home that isn't well maintained and has a lot of mess in the carport. The big mansions near by have all taken down their Trump signs. The only other ones I've seen have been out in the exurban areas, usually with some religious message. I doubt Jesus would have voted for Trump.

The home I saw yesterday also had a huge cross on the door and at least one US flag. My neighbor across the street voted for Trump but he was never really a big supporter. He told me last week that Trump is an idiot, but I doubt he would have voted for Harris.The guy is a nice person who loves helping people out and he's a non practicing Christian, and a 79 year old retired blue collar worker. He had told us he hated Trump even before he voted for him, but I doubt people like him will ever admit that they made the wrong choice. Why not just vote third party or write in a name, if you hate both candidates so much instead of helping someone like Trump win?
 
Doing a little research, I find that fresh-squeezed orange juice is somewhat high in sugar, but has no added sugar, and also, as mentioned, lacks the fiber of just plain oranges. So I just eat oranges. Had three this morning in the park and fed the birds. The sparrows jumped all over it but the pigeons and starlings ignored it. What is up with that? :unsure: In fact the pigeons in the park ignore ALL fruit — strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, blueberries, etc. Dumb boids!

Tell them it's safe now; Tom Lehrer died recently.



Spring really is here; Suddenly the bottlebrush trees are a mass of flowers (and lorikeets, and noisy miners).

Yes, because the sugar is in what's extracted. There's no more sugar in the juice of one orange than in one orange, but there's more sugar in 100g of orange juice than 100g of oranges.

It’s easy to down the juice of several oranges in a few seconds. Eating several oranges not only takes longer, but it’s also work- a caloric demand that eats into the caloric value of those oranges! Of course if you’re squeezing them yourself to get the juice, that’s work too. So the best is to get someone else to juice your oranges for you and you just sit there and guzzle.
 
Regarding thread title: "are-people-already-regretting-their-choice" ... Real Clear Politics has a summary of recent September polls. The average they present shows 46½% approve of Trump's Presidency and only 52½% disapprove.

The two most useful recent polls, because only LIKELY voters were selected, are
Rasmussen Reports9/14 - 9/181500 LV5346
InsiderAdvantage8/15 - 8/171000 LV5444
Fifty-three to Forty-six and Fifty-four to Forty-four. Does this make you want to barf?​
The 53% and 54% are APPROVAL numbers.

Woe, destruction, ruin, and decay; the worst is death and death will have his day.​
