You know if you saved $10,000 a year on coffee and toast extravagances, that amount alone probably wouldn't go far into paying off an $800,000 house that should be barely worth $150,000. I don't know what people sneering at avocado toast think house prices are these days. A bag of avocados here is like $5. 0.00001 of a $500k home. Yeah, bank that $5 for whatever measly interest you earn off it.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/202 … -resourcesSchools are using “misleading and biased” information materials funded by the alcohol industry to educate pupils as young as nine about drinking, according to a study.
Teachers in thousands of UK schools employ lesson plans, factsheets and films produced by bodies with close ties to the drinks trade even though they “portray alcohol as a normal consumer product to impressionable young minds”, the researchers found.
looks like our resident scientist has been brainwashed with the same misinformation! those darned brewer families!They conclude: “All programmes promoted familiarisation and normalisation of alcohol as a ‘normal’ adult consumer product, which children must learn about and master how to use responsibly when older.”
The materials also “employ selective presentation of harms, including misinformation about cancer.” Some misleadingly imply that only heavy or excessive drinking raises the risk of the disease, whereas research shows low levels of drinking also increases the risk of some types such as breast and mouth cancer, they say.
