both sugar and its substitutes are bad for you, in different ways.

[โ€“] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

Much much less so the substitutes, but otherwise this.

I forgor denmark didn't use the euro for a sec and I was extremely confused as to why pepsi costed that much in Denmark LMAO

[โ€“] krash@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

The Danish krona is actually pegged to the euro, so you are half right ๐Ÿ™‚

It's extremely inexpensive. The generic 1.5 liter option costs about $0.60 USD.

Just some context: Lidl has this sort of campaign going on for years as of to promote their own store brands - other markets here do that too. They do the same with showing a shopping cart consisting of store brands vs brand products and on how much money u can save.

Maybe they can use the current momentum to push this campaign more โ€ฆ

Just Saying:

Even if Lidl is not a monopoly it is currently, it will become one if we let it. Just think about it:

  • they control a lot of stores
  • it is still controlled by a very rich man
  • they will soon push out many independent products for their own

Even if we can't outlaw making a profit from the means of production, we should at least make all critical infrastructure (like supermarkets) be owned by a in German we call them โ€žFรถrderkreisโ€ with an ethics committee where the people working there and others associated with it can democratically vote about any and all changes.

I don't understand why we seek to be better in this kind of files (bad food, stupidly sugared beverage)

It's not like a national pride

And it's the choice of the new generation.

Neither, this is a ton of colored sugar in water, not healthy in any way. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
