Do you agree with the CEO of Kelloggs who suggested that if people were having trouble putting food on the table they "should eat cereal for dinner" to make ends meet.

Yes, makes sense;
depends on the cereal choice but it is an option;
No, kids need more than grains;
No, he was being very unempathetic towards those who earn less than he does as CEO;
or
other

 

[ilovepaydays]

NO - That’s a stupid comment. Let’s be honest: How much and for how much does most cereal & milk keep you full? Especially for kids? It’s been my experience that a meal with a decent amount of fiber, fats, and protein works the best. Especially when you’re next meal isn’t going to be for several hours.

So…….this is nonstop chatter on my Twitter/X feed………

England’s NHS decision to no longer prescribe puberty blockers to transgender kids?

AGREE

Can I be neutral on this one? I think any type of permanent surgery should be delayed until the person is over 18 given the seriousness and life long nature of such a decision.

ALthough, a part of me says disagree because I do not think government should be making health decisions for people. Should be parents, patient and doctor(s).
