For you, right on cue:
- Comment on Mexico’s deadly Coca-Cola addiction 1 day ago:
Yes but harmful on the scale of foodstuffs where the headline was mimicking opiate level.
- Comment on Mexico’s deadly Coca-Cola addiction 1 day ago:
I don’t think there is much in coca cola that is very addictive or immediately deadly. I think this story is just some people in Mexico like drinking coca cola.

Natural systems are not beautiful ballets they are savage red raw, unfair and impossibly pitiful battlefields, made beautiful only by our privileged position of working our way largely out of them. At the very start of this video he has the look my dad used to have as he watched us getting ready to sing Happy Birthday to him.

I actually can raise my hand for this one, the impact with the skin surface emulsifies the outer banana layer which is then readily absorbed by the pore system. Bananasplitsynthesis is a very well understood process.
- Comment on Sure. Whatev's 6 days ago:
Well that is a very simplified view of nature, in reality they do not always bounce and banana is just a catch all term for any elongated fruit.
- Comment on For French origin words like "meter" American English inverted the last letters of "metre" to better match the pronunciation. Why isn't it also the case for other similar situations like "possible"? 6 days ago:

At some point every person who enters a relationship in this way realises that they have generated absolute proof that their committed partner is utterly open to infidelity to the point of separation.
- Comment on DWP spent £50,000 trying to stop release of review into disabled man’s death 2 weeks ago:
The Department had found that to meet transparency targets it was quicker to increase opacity and thereby loop around and back into transparency from the wrong direction.
- Comment on Hospital admissions for lack of vitamins soaring in England, NHS figures show 2 weeks ago:
Thanks frazorth and Zombie for your full replies, I should have guessed that what was common to both your answers would be the idea of manufacturers prioritising profit through saleable appearance and ease of production rather than nutritional benefit. The world we have made for ourselves seems to have profit and unchecked greed at the root of every problem.
With such high hospital admissions it surely would be more economic if not basic good governance for the government itself to add key vitamins to the food supply in a digestible form in the way fluoride is added to tap water. I suppose there would be complaints of ulterior motives, maybe something added to calm the population. And to be fair the thought of pacification might pass through a politician’s mind from time to time - with some historic attempts.

I think oftentimes they find use of their own urine demeaning and so prefer to outsource.

Would all of this be solved by over the counter multivitamins or is there more nutritionally missing in a poor diet.

- Comment on Eating Our Way to Extinction (2021) - narrated by Kate Winslet, this powerful documentary explains how food is the #1 factor destroying the environment and how we can reduce our impact by 75%. 5 months ago:
I have not watched this documentary and I am sure it is a very truthful and noble thing but once again it is laying the blame and potential solution on the ordinary person when in truth the largest 100 corporations are responsible for about 75 percent of all environmental damage and greenhouse gases.

- Comment on Extend success of UK sugar tax to cakes, biscuits and chocolate, experts urge 7 months ago:
I knew Jaffa Cakes were zero-rated for tax purposes which is good as they are my main source of vitamin C. I was meaning really just the possibility of incentives in price for the healthier options, claiming back more on processing. Tax exempt carrot rather than the sugar stick.

Also tax on fruit and vegetables urged to be removed. No? Not that one, oh ok then.
