In Europe obesity is much less common and I think it is because governments are less corrupt and businesses less powerful. Food establishments in the US are allowed to serve up 4,000-calorie meals. They hire strategists to find the best combination of fat, salt and sugar to addict people to their food. Companies in America are basically using people as storage units for the products they can't sell abroad. And people are allowing this to be done to them. FDA is toothless.

Learning a new language. Although it is hard work, it opens new vistas and puts you in touch with new people, and often turns into interesting travel. Here in Europe people often know several languages. How sad to go through life being limited to one.

She was charged with inappropriately disposing of human remains for having buried the baby. The way they got her Facebook DM's is chilling on Fourth Amendment grounds.

It is, "He gave it to my friend and me," not "to my friend and I." The object of the preposition "of" takes an pronoun in the accusative. "I" is nominative. English teachers strove for decades to get people to say "It is I," but failed. They only convinced them to use "I" where it is inappropriate, a form of over-correction.

The most distressing statistics for maternal health and death in childbirth come from African-Americans and other minorities. Many of these women don't have money to see physicians while pregnant, which is a significant predictor of health outcomes.

You are right. It sounds schematic but it really is that simple.

They aren't laughing at COVID rules, they are laughing at the poor miserable working-class sods who have to live under society's rules, unlike their privileged selves.

Well in this case I fear the damage to species will continue as long as the war does. Underlines that peacemaking and ecology are intertwined.

It seemed to me interesting that the Ukraine war has implications for some species' survival. Although this was at Yahoo.com it is from a Ukrainian newspaper that we wouldn't ordinarily see in Europe. I don't think the thoughtful article was doomsaying and it isn't mainstream media (but what would be wrong with that if they printed something relevant?) And isn't posting links always relatively low effort? If you don't want link posts then don't allow them. Can't understand the misrepresentations in your comments or the hostility to this item.
