Clicklist: Porky death and caffeinated immortality

>> Grist calls out a New York Times op-ed that claims free range pork is deadly. The op-ed writer, as you may’ve guessed, cited a study funded by the National Pork Producers Council to “prove” his point.

>> Coffee Lowers Risk of Death – I found that link via Kim at (Anti)Social Development, whose comment made me laugh: “Here is an interesting article with a really illogical headline. I’m pretty sure the risk of death is always 100%.”

>> A new Gallup poll finds fewer Americans identify themselves as Christians, more as “none.” (via Fimoculous)

>> Lindsay at LAist says many Angelenos are opting to staycation this summer — but others are embracing the fuck it phenomenon and taking pricey vacations: “Yes, the recession brought increased anxiety as well. But for many, that fear became a catalyst. It’s enabled them to strive for something more meaningful in their lives, even if that means a temporary break from common sense.”
