> Customers dictate what gets produced.

Sure? It seems to me that the companies dictate what I consume. Many many times I wanted to buy exactly the same clothes item or shoes to replace an old one (because I know exactly how it'd fit and wear) only to discover it has been discontinued with no obvious "heir". Sometimes only 6 months later...

Whats the percentage of people chasing "fashion", especially after mid 30s?

More accurate to say that it's the other customers that dictate what you consume, by out voting you with their wallet.

Why massive discounts seem to be much more of a thing in the US compared to Europe?

Definitely, carbs means alternating drowsy, hunger cycles with blood sugar level. While an even level enables the zone.

Looks like it's true that low-carb adapted athletes rely more on fat oxidation during exercise but performance suffers nonetheless because of increased oxygen demands that basically cannot be met.

If your employer gets you a nvda card or openai subscription, it doesn't automatically mean you are getting richer, agreed?

I'm with you on this. People who pathologize themselves or others - assuming they're malfunctioning rather than acknowledging they might simply be living a life that doesn't fit - have a very limited way of looking at things.
