Fat - what else can we call it?

Apparently this issue cannot be dumbed down enough for the average American to understand.
The People’s Pharmacy did a program on “Why we get Fat”.

It is exhausting trying to explain to people that fat does not make you FAT. Telling them that not only is “fat” an essential macro molecule that our body requires to sustain itself in a healthy way; it is used in making cells, which then can be stuffed with “sugar” which actually makes us FAT. The only reason a low fat diet might seem like its working at first is because restricting fat will cause the body to shift gears in how it stores the sugar, because it is running out of building blocks to make cells. Now we have tons of sugar running around in our blood and the pancreas is going nuts with the insulin and the cells receptors are like: oh no you’re not shoving more “energy” in us, we’ll just shut down these receptors (so you feel tired after a meal because the cell is not letting the energy in) and now the body is like, well what am I supposed to do with all this sugar? I guess I’ll just store it in the fat-cells that I already have made, because I’m not letting it go, we may not have anything to eat for another month (because that’s how the body thinks). So yeah, it’s complicated and the average American person doesn’t seem to be able to handle complicated. They want something easy, like: oh, Fat = fat, well sorry, it’s just not that simple. Buy the way, once a fat-cell is made, it’s yours for life. Losing weight does not = loosing fat cells. They will always be there ready to be stuffed full of sugar the next time you have a surplus. That’s why you gain it back that much quicker the next time around.
So people get hung up on the word “FAT”. I think in order for people to “get it” we need to change the words to something else. What those words would be… I have no idea; I’m not a word smith. But I can see that the confusion for the average American comes because the two words Fat and Fat are the same but they are not REALLY referring to the same thing. And no I don’t have any degrees in this stuff, I just listen and learn and comprehend what is actually going on, I don’t take things on blind faith and if something doesn’t work the way Dr. or the Preacher says it’s supposed to work I don’t accept it anyway, because they’re human just like me and we’re all capable of making mistakes. What makes us smart is how we deal with those mistakes; by going out and making more observations, drawing new conclusions, and testing them. It is an ongoing process.
So when I read a response like “Er, no it isn't.” or “This guest made me ill.” or “Question: How does a vegetarian adapt to the Atkins diet?”. I know that I’m still seeing the average American who doesn’t want to think for themselves and I feel exhausted. BTW, a vegetarian doesn’t adapt to the Adkins dies. If you’re a vegetarian just stop eating SUGAR, and yes, I'm talking about twinkies. (There’s another word that needs to change, but that one I know, we should call it poison.)

Designing Security for Fabrikam, Inc - case study

This was our final project in the Information Systems Technology Associates curriculum at the our community college. It was challenging, more so because, I felt, we had so little direction; then because, not all of the needed information was actually covered in the curriculum classes. (To be clear, my instructor had little direction to give us, I don't blame him). These days, It’s easy enough to go out on the internet, and find anything you need, provided you know what you’re looking for.  But my instructor intimated that this “Proposal Response” really shouldn’t be any more than 3 or 4 pages.  Well, to my mind, didn't seem feasible.  I felt if one were to truly answer all of the questions that were “asked” in this case study, they’d be writing a book.  As it was the paper I turned in was 22 pages.    Please feel free to visit my public Google Bookmark page which I created out of all the places I visited on the net for my information.  And if you have any constructive criticism I'd appreciate a comment left here.  Thanks!

If I was a student of Sociology…

this semester would be perfect for a case study on how, given similar situations, women are treated differently at different ages.

This is my last semester at a Community Collage that I actually attended 20 years ago. I came back to finish my degree. When I was in my late 20s I attended this CC and never had more than a passing tense moment with any of my instructors or classmates. Now I am in my late 40s and have had two instructors who have been speciously rude and harsh toward me, and in many instances their behavior has incited the class to collectively ridicule me, any time I would question, challenge, or ask for more clarity.

Now I’ve never been one for the “soft” sciences, because of their subjectivity, but I can see their merits. In my case, my age is just one factor. There are many other factors that could be taken into account. But the bottom line is, the rudeness I am encountering is unacceptable by any measure.
