Ugh, Premier Kinew, bet you think this is a great quote about Pepsi/Coke, but it perpetuates the personal blame/stigma related to diabetes, there are many systems level drivers that put people at risk of diabetes and your quote makes it seem like a choice www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...
Pepsi causes more damage to Manitoba than alcohol does. Coca-Cola causes more damage to Manitoba than meth does and if you don’t believe me, go spend time in any of our hospitals.”

Meal planning isn’t new, but changes ask students to consider a wider array of factors as they brainstorm about recipes, budgets and shopping lists.

The Grade 12 health curriculum assigns final-year students with planning a week of meals for living independently.

You ever make a cheesecake so good it hurt? well you didn't because that is impossible but I believe I came as close as humanly possible to that

But we need words to differentiate the types of Göffel, this one is a spoon and a fork connected at the handle, but there are also ones that combine the fork tines onto the spoon. Perhaps a Spitzgöffel and a Griffgöffel?

The chocolate shrinkflation to look out for is the chocolatey filling garbage, they make these cheaper creme fillings that are basically sugar and vegetable oils so they can use less of the expensive real chocolate (which is the stuff you actually want)
Cadbury dairy Milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts, 90 gram bars, used to be 100 gram bars Cadbury Dairy Milk Almond creme, mille chocolate with Chocolatey creme (bullshit) and chopped almonds, it is 105 grams instead of the previous 100, or now 90 gram bars, seems like a deal except it is more of the stuff you don't want

Difficult people will elicit very different responses upon their death, I think it is likely best to allow people to express whatever they like, I mean the dead will never see it and generally good people don't tend to get much hate when they die

Hear me out, what if they just let the data centers burn instead of all of Europe, and then let the lobbyists decide if they want to be in the data centers or not
Europe must choose between AI and climate goals, data center lobby says
