This is a disingenuous take that punishes companies with better data collection practices. iOS has many toggles for disabling data collection, ad personalisation, limit apps from tracking you with more persistent techniques, and so on. I&#x

Indeed, lots of anti-fat researched was sponsored by sugary drink companies. But the jury is still against too much saturated fat, since the lymphatic system doesn't handle it in the healthiest of ways. So limiting saturated fats is st

It's disheartening if you do care about long-term issues, but perhaps these are all long-term issues. In a way, I think people tend to fight for causes they are exposed to and think their voices are on the right side of History. I'
