Back in 2005, while explaining why so few women occupied top science positions, economist Lawrence Summers suggested it could partially have to do with “issues of intrinsic aptitude.” It was one reason why he was forced from his Harvard presidency position the next year. And if this standard still holds today, a lot of little kids will have to be canceled. After all, by age six already, a large number of them embrace Summers’ theory.
That is, they believe boys are better at computer science and engineering.
That’s what a recent analysis of almost 100 studies found, anyway. And, of course, this is a major problem, the mainstream media warn. As they may put it, this means the kids “are internalizing gender stereotypes.” Yet there’s another reason children may think males are better at computing and engineering.
Because they are.
If that sounds like bias, well, there’s plenty to go around. Just consider that one of the studies analyzed found that by age eight, students believe girls possess greater verbal gifts. Other research has found that kids think academic success is “for girls.” But neither is what the media lead with (in fact, it’s hardly mentioned). It’s not something they say is a problem. It’s also not suggested that this could be the result of “internalizing gender stereotypes.” (And now we know why, increasingly, people are internalizing a certain mainstream-media stereotype. Hint: It’s the one that’s gradually putting them out of business.) […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
