Deep frying in oil is better than "frying" in air.

That is simply a fact.

There is no bigger waste of good ribeye than making prime rib.

This might actually come as a surprise, but to some degree I do agree.

I get extra pickles and onions with my McRib sandwich.

My mother told me a hairless hand was a sign of virtue.

I never listened to my mother.

Open the Egg too fast, and you’ll get one.

I'd even go so far as to say ribeye is one of the most overrated cuts of beef. I'll take tritip or skirt any day. I need some beef flavor. 

Only my opinion. It fits perfectly in this thread. I'm sure most would disagree with my statement above.

BBQ originated with people who:

A. Had little to choose from.
B. Knew next to nothing about nutrition.

Why are we so infatuated with it today?

As a collective, we still don't know much about nutrition. 

Do you mean that the average Joe still eats a poorly balanced diet? Or that scientists and medical professionals still have significant room for growth in regards to understanding nutrition? 

Apologies... Haven't clicked on this thread in a while.

In response to your questions - all of the above. The average Joe's diet is pretty piss poor. My own is far from perfect. Nutrition is an imperfect science, and most medical professionals/scientists don't get it in a way that can impact most patients' lives. 

Add in the financial incentives for all kinds of nutritional supplements/diets/etc. and you've got a slew of folks aiming to take advantage of scads of other folks. 

I see instances of this many times daily.
