Knowing the future and changing it are two different things

It's a common Mandela Effect. Interview with A vampire instead of interview with THE vampire.

Read the book 6 times plus, saw original movie a few times and wrote a book report on it. For me it's always been interview with A vampire

Mandela effect?

All the younger people I text with use more acronyms and abbreviations than I do. I even spell out okay.

Same. First program I built was a bouncing circle, took 15 minutes to code and an hour to save to the cassette.

I think you are missing the entire point. Nestle puts sugar in the baby formula because it's a physically addictive substance. A mother who buys the formula but later tries to switch to different formula will end up with a baby going through sugar withdrawals. I think it's safe to assume the baby may not even feed until it's given the Nestle formula.

This isn't the first time Nestle has done something like this, they have a dark history. Some might even call them evil.

Plus all the long term health issues associated with giving children sugar. "Added sugar intake at an early age may have adverse life-long health consequences, including overweight, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, and dental caries, as well as worse dietary habits" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8624134/

And yes I think it should be regulated for children, based on the science it is a serious health issue.

Also you keep mentioning the "left" like this is some political discussion. This has nothing to do with politics. **I think most people would agree that using a legal addictive substance to hook babies to your product is a real dick move and something should be done to prevent it from happening. **

"Eating too much sugar can lead to weight gain, which then increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and some cancers. But sugar also alters our mood and provides feelings of being rewarded and euphoria; hence the comparison to illegal drugs." https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.ramsayhealth.co.uk/blog/lifestyle/is-sugar-more-addictive-than-cocaine&ved=2ahUKEwj-8KOjt8uFAxUT4skDHUPYBWAQFnoECEkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2ys5-XMhDhbu8-D39e9u4j

Yeah it should be regulated as a highly addictive substance. It shouldn't be in baby formula.

I don't know what you mean by "addictive as anything else". We are talking about the relationship to how your brain reacts to these substances, using science. Based on that there's only a handful of highly addictive substances out of millions of potentials.

This isn't psychological addiction, we are talking about physical addiction. And sugar is comparable to the 2nd most addictive substance in the world, cocaine.

And you think that's a good idea to give to infants?

You think that it shouldn't face regulation?

Your argument is subjective and lacks substance. The facts are very clear here.

Sugar is roughly as addictive as cocaine.

So yeah, addiction is probably the end game.

The first 3 episodes are written by one person, the last 5 are 5 different writers.

I think they nailed the design aspect, everything looks like it would belong and doesn't look cheap or fake.

It starts off good and then suffers from some odd writing choices and feels rushed and not natural or fluid as you get towards the end.

Great actors, decent story, great design, overall a 7.5/10 for me.
