She also happens to live in a tiny rural town that’s an hour and a half drive to the closest major city, I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Some guy already did this years ago, his whole thing was basically “McDonalds doesn’t make you fat, watch as I go on a calorie deficit diet where I eat McDonalds burgers with no buns.” It was dogshit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Head
I can’t speak to your grocery store but I’ve seen the clear bags since way before the pandemic, pretty sure they’re cheaper.
I think this is pretty much accurate. Inflation is basically 100% corporate price gouging, if it was a natural phenomenon the prices of everything would rise at the same time instead of the huge disparities we’re seeing between different sectors of the economy. Marxian economist Richard Wolff does a great job of explaining it. I think a lot of leftists are alienated by academic economics, because they only teach free market rules as if they are laws of nature, and therefore might feel less confident debating whether inflation is some magical act of god versus of a conscious policy.
I’m allergic to this shit. I had to go to the ER for a cat bite once and they said - good thing you remembered you were allergic because otherwise we were going to give you some and the reaction can be quite nasty.

I’d recommend hollow body crunches instead of sit ups, way less strain on your lower back.
