The food industry pays ‘influencer’ dietitians to shape your eating habits
Registered dietitians are being paid to post videos that promote diet soda, sugar and supplements on Instagram and TikTok

It's not that I didn't know it was bad, but I didn't realize just how bad it is

It's all about $$$$$$$

It worked like this before TikTok, too. A friend of a friend was one of the people in the room when it was decided that acai berries would be declared a "super food" and new food trend.

You would hope that this would be the lead story today, but no.

Australia has today declared an El Nino event. (Last three days have been 33+c)

On September 14 NOAA declared a 95% likelihood that El Niño will last through our winter, and the likelihood that it will be a strong event is above 70%. Here on the West Coast that generally means we'll get a lot of rain, which is good for our megadrought.

But it sounds like Australia gets a drier and hotter summer...not at all!

Hi Eric
It sure looks like its going to be hotter downunder to me.
The trouble with the heat and that is you can only take of so much clothing before the police say stop.

4 Covid jabs and I still got it.
Positive test this morning.

2 hr exposure visiting a hospital ward. (Not for me)

So sorry to hear that, Stuart

Get well soon, Stuart!

Oh no, I'm sorry Stuart! It sucks being super careful and still getting it. Hopefully your case is mild.

Even in the privacy of your own home there is only so much you can take off

Stuart- So sorry to hear you're ill. Hopefully all your efforts result in a mild case. I have not figured out how to add an image- so please pretend I am sending you wishes of a bowl of Chicken soup. Unless it is too hot for chicken soup.

I can help, Morgan!

When you are posting here on the forum, find the button that looks like a little landscape picture (on the same line as the font buttons). If you click on it, it will insert this code: [ img ][ /img ]

Just find the image you want to use online and add the web address between like so:
[ img ] https://cdn.s7.shopdisney.eu/is/image/D ... 52&hei=652 [ /img ]

(I added spaces so this would show up and not just add the image)

When you Preview or Submit the post, the image will show up instead of the code.



(Also, if you find an image online that you want to use, make sure you open the image in a new tab by itself so you're adding the image's URL and not the website's)

To display [img][/img] rather than [ img ][ /img ], use the nobbc button:
[nobbc][img][/img][/nobbc]

If you want to control the size of the image, use the imagew button:

[imagew=100]https://cdn.s7.shopdisney.eu/is/image/DisneyStoreES/465010110888-2[/imagew]
