The is some evidence that fish “omega 3”oils are beneficial to cardiovascular health. Less evidence that plant source “omega 3” has the same value. (Note: there are three types of “omega 3” or “n-3 fatty acids”: two from fish &#8211; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was work done in the 70s, 80s that showed that fish oils improved arterial health.
I&#8217;m a vegetarian, for many reasons. I want to avoid fish oils&#8230; but my arteries are quite clogged. What about flax, what about walnuts, what about chia? Are they known not to work? (these are the vegetable omega 3s) or [...]]]></description>

if we really were God
and we had forever to think it through
in our infinite mind
then we would

predestine creation
we’d surely throw the pieces

let them fall as they may
so that quantum would shuffle

I’d rather be a rising ape
then a fallen angel
we are monkeys
who stopped throwing shit
got down
off the trees
and ended up building things
like lampposts
the renaissance ape
that’s so much more interesting
than bread fish and ribs
wine and dust

Untitled: at the bottom of the glass…
at the bottom of the glass
cold currents cut between us
I saw oceans and islands
separated
isolated
these bodies
these others
they seemed empty
sure we are not concrete
and we are ephemera
shifting constellations
a flux
&#8220;consciousness&#8221; &#8220;awareness&#8221; &#8220;mind&#8221;
