Couillard really fucked this up. Radio Canada: La Vérif: irréaliste de nourrir une famille avec 75 $ par semaine. 20 septembre 2018 https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1125152/verif-utopique-nourrir-famille-parents-75-dollars-semaine-couillard Vérification faite, non seulement ces repas ne...

I looked at the referenced article. It reads like an infomercial, not like journalism. If Primal Surge XL is a supplement then it is unregulated. That means its effectiveness claims are very likely unproven and its side effect profile might not be well-known either. See. for instance: Why You...

La question de l'épicerie à 75$ talonne Philippe Couillard. Le Devoir, 21 septembre 2018 https://www.ledevoir.com/politique/quebec/537380/epicerie-a-75-philippe-couillard-a-court-de-solutions-concretes-pour-les-familles-dans-le-besoin The broader context: Pierre Fortin: Le salaire minimum à 15...

Couillard persiste: à 75$, une épicerie, c’est possible. Le Devoir, 21 septembre 2018 https://www.ledevoir.com/politique/quebec/537224/il-est-possible-de-nourrir-une-famille-avec-75-par-semaine-selon-couillard Le chef libéral, Philippe Couillard, a gagné le vote de l’homme d’affaires François...

If the question were "Can a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers) live on $75 a week for groceries?", the answer is no. Do the math: 7 days, 4 people, 3 meals a day - 7 times 4 times 3 = 84 meals per week. So the average price of a meal would have to be 75/84 = 89 cents. Not possible, if food is...

The OP (#1) asked: Est-il possible de vivre avec un épicerie de 75$/semaine? He didn't specify: 75$/semaine par personne ou par famille de combien de personnes. I took it to mean: 75$ per person. And this is indeed possible. You can eat healthily on such a budget. You just need to know how to...

Oui, c'est possible. Je l'ai fait. Mais il faut savoir cuisiner et avoir le temps pour cuisiner. Ils ont fait l’épicerie avec 210$ par semaine pendant un mois Un couple aisé avec deux enfants a accepté de faire le test de vivre avec le salaire minimum...

If a woman asks me to call her a whore it would be rude to refuse. Otherwise it's simple: Escorts are human beings that reserve as much as respect as my and your dear mother. (I'm not trying to be kinky here.) If we, their clients, were to join in the denigration, the badmouthing, the...

Culture can and does change. Examples include support for gay marriage in many rich countries or the recent abortion referendum in Ireland. And then there is this: Mediterranean children stopped eating the Mediterranean diet, and they now have the highest obesity rates in Europe. Wonkblog...

This seems to be a succinct statement of the measurement issues involved in obesity: World Obesity Federation How is obesity measured? https://www.worldobesity.org/data/cut-points-used/ "While BMI is a simple measure that is very useful for populations, it should be considered a rough guide...

Are cutoffs arbitrary? Yes they are. Somebody whose BMI is just below 25 is not going to be significantly healthier than somebody with a BMI of just above 25. Also, as Julia Sky pointed out above (comment # 25), BMI is not a perfect measure. Though this line of reasoning can be carried too far...

Patron, I think it is safe to say that Merbists (myself included) agree that the Swedish Prostitution Model is stupid and nonsensical. But that does not mean that the Swedish are, in your words, "the world’s most disfunctional people". By that logic you can easily deride many other people, since...

How is that statistic skewed? And how would you know? (That is, can you point us to any experts who have argued this?) Are you aware that according to the latest data (for 2015-2016), from the National Center for Health Statistics (in the USA), the obesity rate among US adults aged 20 or older...
