I don’t have a car, so I usually carpool with a friend and we drive 20min one way to the grocery store. I don’t understand why the answer is to make the drive take longer? Why can’t I have a functional bus system instead, or a closer grocery store I didn’t need to drive to?

You need to hydrate, homie
Nah, the hate for Red Delicious comes from the fact that they’ve been bred to look good and have a long shelf life instead of having good flavor. They used to taste better, but due to the industrialization of farming, orchards were paid more for better looking apples. Eventually, the cultivar developed into the modern Red Delicious, which has a thick skin and starchy texture that resists bruising during machine handling.
It also doesn’t help that there are many health influencers out there who do make outrageous claims, so it’s not always clear that the “sugar causes diabetes” isn’t being followed by “that’s why I don’t let my kids eat carrots, because they might as well be eating candy”.
If a nurse won’t give CPR to somebody because they’re afraid of getting sued for a broken rib, then they shouldn’t be a nurse.
I’ve been CPR trained, and we were taught that broken ribs are a normal outcome, and we shouldn’t let that worry slow us down, because the alternative is the person dying. I’ve done CPR on somebody that overdosed in the parking lot until someone showed up with narcan, and I’d do it again.
Can’t hurt. The state with the least obesity is Colorado, and they don’t have a sales tax on groceries, but do with candy and stuff.
And not just fresh fruit and veg, but a variety of good quality fresh fruit and veg. Red delicious apples are cheap fresh fruit, zucchini is cheap fresh veg, but you won’t enjoy eating your fruit and veg if all you’re getting is nasty apples and zucchini.
Nah, a neighboring city has ordinance written with aesthetics in mind too. Like, it’s in the city code that your front yard landscaping has to be congruent with the aesthetic of the street landscaping.
It’s absolute insanity.
Edit: For the actual text
Entry areas, access easements, and driveways shall be landscaped to create a feeling of identification and continuity of plant materials related to the plantings around the buildings and parking areas. The primary entrances to the multi-family development, defined for this section as the entrances from public roadways, shall have landscaped areas on either side of the entrance. This landscape area shall be a triangle beginning at a point where the back of the sidewalk and the driveway intersect and running a distance of twenty feet parallel with the street, and fifteen feet from the back of the sidewalk along the driveway, and diagonally connecting the two lines. These areas may be utilized as rain gardens.
To be fair, they don’t usually explicitly call it a “genocide”, they just dance around the term. Probably because they know they’re full of shit.
Right, but the proposal in the article is “traffic fatalities is because traffic goes too fast, make them drive slower”, then they wonder why it’s not popular. It’s rare that I see proposals actually bringing forth things that would reduce the amount of traffic needed.
