Actually most of our food is tax-exempt

“Most food is VAT-free but you do pay VAT on some food. Some items for human consumption are standard-rated.

This includes catering, alcoholic drinks, confectionery, crisps and savoury snacks, hot food, sports drinks, hot takeaways, ice cream, soft drinks and mineral water.”

So its mostly targeting the added sugar food/drinks and hot food when served in a restaurant etc. It just stopped Coca Cola being exempt.

Isn’t it true that in the USA, there were no more deaths in 2020 than in 2019?

It’s almost as if covid mainly affects ppl already on death’s door and proper education about at-risk demographics and prophylactic health measures would be more effective than general fear mongering.

Yeah but sometimes added sugar isn't nearly as bad. For example, something like a small donut would actually be lower glycemic index and lower calories, and less harmful to your health than a large blackberry smoothie.

No it's not true. You can go check the excess deaths to see.

they will pay for what they've done, either in this life or the next. hopefully this one.

Agreed.
Hows Cheshire? Had a night out in Chester once, pretty good clubs

You’re a woman??? No fookin way

fall is going to be a blood bath with the delta variant out there and vaccines loosing efficiency. we need a booster shot now. i asked my doctor if i just went and got a 3rd shot would it help against the delta but it seemed like he didnt really know. all he told me is that FDA doesnt allow it. But i think you could go get one again if you asked for it and told them you never had one. but no information out there if it would help. feel like biden is letting us down here.

There’s close to 50,000 babies born in India a day . This Covid culling can’t eliminate people fast enough imo.

Biggest mistake scientists ever did was make aids manageable .
It was doing a great job before . Hopefully it mutates and is far more aggressive so it can take out more P3dos

I'm hoping the next variant AT LEAST stabalizes population growth at breakeven, but so far, we aren't even close.

imagine if they scare-mongered people about reality of obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, etc on the level of covid, report every time a person dies to it, start reporting young people dying of heart attacks, plaster pictures of the liver of alcoholics and the lungs of smokers on every bus shelter lol. hospitals here apparently are overrun even pre-covid and they all complain about funding. but somehow it only makes daily news because of covid as a tactic to scare people once again, but was just an issue sort of brushed aside and not really prioritized before. inb4 it's not contagious. but it doesn't matter, people still take up money and hospital resources and die just the same, it's just now we suddenly give a chit.

how you know this marketing campaign is a sham is that the average person in the US gained like 30 lbs during the pandemic. we knew early on being a fat-cel that does zero exercises increases your chances highly. for people who claim to be so scared of unvaccinated people spreading it and them getting it, people sure seem to be doing the opposite of what they should be doing lol.

not that I agree with the fear-mongering tactics for things like that, but the world is in for some interesting times ahead if the trajectory continues. might need another virus that is actually deadly to cleanse most of the fat/obese-cels and do a hard reset from there. i think there is no turning back and society is actually phucked in the next 70-80 years. we had our chance in the 90s and 00s to try and nip it in the bud. who knows, we might have bigger problems than just fatties walking around.

Only on Weekends, some Thursdays and whenever my period is due.

u still hate trannies?

tbh i still wouldn't risk doing intense cardio with it. It c an really fuk your heart up, same as doing intense stuff with just the common cold.

Never hated them, just hate how certain men are appropriating womanhood, trampling over women's hard won separate sex services and categories, erasing language to describe women and expecting us to gush about how brave they are.

IF they were quite happy to have and use third spaces, so-called gender neutral spaces etc, categories, sports etc (which I would more than happily campaign alongside them for) then I would live and let live... but that's not what they want, is it?

Wow great job wincel. I'm suprised.

First time you admitted the manipulation of "science" for politics.

Legislators making laws claiming to do so in the "name of science"

Science is a business, wincel.

People here have no problem with "science". Just the corrupt use of it to get whatever they want done.

Medical malpractice death count

And there you have it. Typcal modern day liberal (And a lot of mainstream Republicans). They love oppression, fascism and tyranny. They just want to be able to decide who gets oppressed. Nobody reading this should ever wonder how genocides, mass killings and murderous governments become what they are.

Agree. Zero context.

It is rare that they compare deaths to positive covid cases now vs last year (big difference but not really demonstrated).

I don't know if more reporting would help, or if it would just become background noise to people if it is a constant thing.

I agree that the daily calorie recommendations are kind of a mess. At the least I think that the daily recommendations could have more information, as in X calories a day for a woman of X height/weight/age/activity level because we know that all of those matter along with individual metabolism.

If you are a small grandma who doesn't move around much you aren't going to need as much energy as a tall female teenager who plays sports, or a 30-something nursing mother who works on her feet all day.

I get that, but trying to get ppl to take a fkn vaccine to stop a pandemic ain't politics.

You dont get liberal antivaxxers

Yes and you'd still be considered a "case" that would contribute to lockdown metrics.

Just lol at this whole clown fiesta.

Smoking-related deaths would be like thousands every day right

Using covid logic you could count anyone who died from anything that was a regular smoker at any time of their life
