  There are some standards. The ingredients are listed in descending order of size (ie the first is the largest).

  They can get around this in a few ways (though this isn’t really relevant here), such as for example preserves having this ingredient list: blueberries, sugar, corn syrup. Even though the amount of blueberries is technically larger than both sugar and corn syrup, sugar and corn syrup (still basically sugar) can add up to much more than the amount of blueberries. By including multiple types of sugar they can sort of hide the fact that the largest ingredient is some form of sugar

  Herd immunity means it’s effectively eradicated, meaning that enough people are protected from it that the virus cannot readily find new hosts and basically “dies out” in the areas in which herd immunity is reached. That’s why severely immunocompromised people, eho often cannot get vaccines or cannot mount a response even if they do get vaccines, do not get, e.g., polio. If only the majority didn’t get the virus, those who are susceptible (the minority) still would, but this doesn’t really happen (in places where herd immunity is reached). Other places around the world may still have the virus floating around, but after a while at the herd immunity level in a location/ country, it is effectively eradicated.

  Kroger too—no tap payments. Instead, you have to use their Kroger app’s QR code. It sucks
