How can big pharma return a profit to their shareholders if we are all healthy & exercise? How will politicians survive without pharma dark money donations to their campaigns? Think of all the drug salespeople that will lose work!

A truck from the 9th arrondissement mayor's office unloads fresh fruits, vegatables, dairy, grains, etc. every morning. The kitchen staff prepares fresh meals every day. I am always amazed seeing the fresh produce.

Our HS cafeteria was a combination of fat, grease, salt, and sugar. Fries, burgers, pizza, chocolate milk, industrial green beans, etc. It has been over 4 decades, so my memory is a bit foggy on specifics, but I don't remember anything healthy.

My friends Michelle & Jérémy are opening their 2nd restaurant, Vivide, 3 Rue Dancourt, 75018, following their popular debut at Pristine. We had their fantastic tasting menu last night. Get a reservation now, it won't be easy later.

That covers 70% of most costs and 100% of some. The "costs" are so much lower that 30% is a small amount.

That is what we were paying 4 years ago for 2 adults in our late 50s in Virginia, it was absolutely insane!

I now pay only 6.5% on any worldwide passive income over €47,100/yr, so not any on retirement income (SS or 401k distributions), just realized investment distributions

Even as a former US Marine, I am not opposed to the concept of direct commissioning at a senior rank - this was the tradition of the US military for many years at the nation's founding.

It is interesting that these people are NOT required to pass a physical fitness test, so much for the speech!

I hope the home owners are charged by the municipality for the clean-up.
