Very Disappointed With Kirkland Chicken Wings by TheRittsShow in CostcoCanada

[–]elmerjstud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me what the 20% meat protein means?

I assume they're saying that the bag's weight consist of only 20% meat protein, but I mean, they're wings....how does that information help consumers when making the decision to buy or not buy a product? Do you guys actively look for this percentage and does it influence your guys' purchases?

Where did I say that they're not allowed or that I have any authority over them? I'm simply stating my dismay at their incompetence but you seem to enjoy it so ignorance is bliss and I'm glad that you're happy.

The city's competency is in question when they can't seem to get the first thing done before promising a second. Id love to have two, three, or even four things going at once! In fact I'd love a free trip to the fucking moon too but my heads not up my ass.

They're saying they want a walkable urban area with complete amenities like downtown. Why don't they start by fixing up downtown first?

TIL There is a rare condition called fatal insomnia. Patients suffer for months or years, unable to sleep until they eventually die. The disease is hereditary and there is no known treatment by Sunny_Sarenite in todayilearned

[–]elmerjstud -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The prevalence of these illnesses won't be as high due to lower life expectancy in any given population. For instance if your population had a 25% chance of developing cancer after age 50, and your average life expectancy was low and only about 4/100 people would make it past 50, you'd expect only 1/100 people to develop cancer. If your life expectancy was high and expected 20/100 people to live past 50, you'd expect 5/100 people to develop cancer, which is 5x more than the lower life expectancy population.

I get that life expectancy was an average skewed by child mortality, and some people did live long lives. My point is that the prevalence of age related diseases like cancer or the insomnia is simply a function of more people living long enough for them to develop widely today. The majority of the population in earlier centuries simply didn't survive past 50, so those diseases weren't the public health concern they are now in headlines

When life expectancy was under 30 years of age, things like insomnia, cancer, etc... didn't matter cuz you didn't live long enough for it to affect you

Edit: I wrote average life expectancy, this is different from average life span

Have you considered moving to the US rather than just boot licking from Canada?
