comment Which way makes it hotter?
Actually, I was somewhat wondering whether I was missing something, i.e. whether I was just not looking at it the right way. @Henrik has in essence answered that. :-)

comment Best way to reorder a list on a web page
Good observation, Chris! That was in fact brought up in the course of the discussion on metaSO by one of the StackExchange developers so it is on their list to do but "not a high priority". Sigh.

comment Why do US food labels intermix desirable and undesirable properties without distinction?
No argument that they are all necessary, though I submit that one does not have to try to eat enough fat, cholesterol and sodium--they are so pervasive that my goal is to minimize them as much as possible, knowing that I will still have a surfeit of each. Contrariwise, fiber is something I always strive to get more of, knowing that my dietary habits are inadequate (but improving!).
