  • What an insane headline.

    First meta data analysis.

    Second, “This current research has shown, yet again and consistent with prior research … that to achieve health gains it is best to avoid or minimize the habitual consumption of each of processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and industrially produced trans fatty acids (TFAs),”

    So don’t eat a ton of shit every day. Got it. The CNN version of super size me propaganda rage bait.

    You’re shitty at science and spreading propaganda. Feel bad about yourself.

    Absolutely 100% incorrect on towing. The 95 top f150 towed about 7700 compared to 13500 today. That’s an f350 in 95. It’ll also fit a family of 4 comparable to a full size sedan eliminating any need of a secondary vehicle. The old f150/1500s were miserable in the back.

    As for the safety I find the argument disingenuous not based on reality. Roughly 160 kids were killed in 23 with the EU27. It was 220 in the US. Much of that could be correlated to traffic density as well.

    Country / Region Est. Fatalities/Year Child Pop. (0–14) Fatalities per Million

    United States ~225 ~61 million ~3.7 United Kingdom ~22 ~11.5 million ~1.9 Canada ~12 ~6 million ~2.0 Australia ~11 ~4.8 million ~2.3 Germany ~20 ~11 million ~1.8 France ~18 ~11 million ~1.6 Japan ~18 ~15 million ~1.2 India ~3,000 (est.) ~360 million ~8.3 Brazil ~450 ~50 million ~9.0 European Union (EU-27) ~140–160 ~72 million ~2.0–2.2

    I think we should offer incentives for manufacturers to start reducing size and weight, but things you are saying here aren’t really based off of any data nor was it what I was asking.

    I just wish I could find one person to show me what they are referencing when they repeat that seemingly false fact.

    Do you have any data to support this is actually the case? I see this all the time but absolutely zero evidence but a 2015 Axios survey with no methodology or dataset. Nearly every article cites this one industry group with 3 questions that clearly aren’t exclusive categorical and could be picked apart by a high school student.

    I ask this question nearly every time I see this comment and in 5 years I have not found a single person who can actually cite where this came from or a complete explanation of even hope they got to that conclusion.

    The truck owners I know, myself included, use them all the time for towing and like the added utility having the bed as as secondary feature.
