For reference, 1 litre of ice cream has about 180g of sugar in it. This milkshake is approx 0.95L and 263g, so 1.54x more sugar than straight ice cream.

(I wouldn't recommend eating a litre of ice cream all in one go either)

TLDR For non-US context: she's been nominated for a bunch of Grammies for country music, so she's presumably talented and people in the US know who she is.

Her performance is being called the new worst of all time (something people have ridiculed Fergie for since her performance in 2018, because they care about national anthems over there) but now she's in rehab for alcoholism, so that explains it.

everyone ignores that England won the Euros in 2022 because it wasn't the men's team

hormone blockers are already used safely and legally all the time by cis children who experience puberty too early. it gives them longer to be a child and not stress about the impacts of puberty

trans kids just want almost the same thing - to be able to exist with bodily autonomy. if it's fine for cis kids, it should be fine for trans kids too

the guardian has messed up their headline a bit here. The paper they're citing attributes a 9.7% decrease in children's total sugar consumption to the sugar tax.

The "sugar consumption halved!" is more accurately: "free sugar from soft drinks only" dropped from 22g per day (pre-tax) to 12g per day (post-tax).

Considering "Children aged 7 to 10 should have no more than 24g of free sugars a day" is the recommended amount - a reduction from 22g to 12g from changes to soft drinks alone is still a big win

all of these things are under the wonderful chippy umbrella of✨🌈 chips 🌈✨

(we'd just call em shoestring chips or even shoestring fries if we were feeling sacrilegious)
