But there is a balance to be spoken of here between laziness and learning. Laziness, in a way, is a driver of efficiency. You want to do something in a way that requires less effort.
It is learning, though, that gives you the tools you need to be "lazy" (if we agree on reading "lazy" as a desire to do less, as opposed to a desire to not doing anything at all - there could be debate here). In turn, finding a way to do less work takes work itself.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that these complaints could hold some validity, it's just a shame that the author doesn't seem like the type to do anything about it.
He frames himself and Joyce as opposites, as if in an attempt to make what follows fair game.
I think if someone came up to me and said, "Not that my opinion matters, but I think you're disgusting", I'd still be pretty offended. I think onlookers would see something like that as unnecessary.
Just don't write the letter next time, eh Wells?
For probiotic foods to have any meaningful effect, though, make sure your gut is healthy first. Probiotics foods are good for one type of bacteria but you also need to neutralise the bad types. Stop eating sugars, saturated fats etc. Your stomach is an ecosystem that will suffer any changes quite badly at first, but will thank you in the long term.
