Whether or not they make the mistake isn't the point. If they were encouraged by a specific entity to treat it as an investment, then the blame should be placed on that entity. Regulations should be put in place to prevent that (I susp

Intermittent fasting has has nothing to do with being fat or skinny. My point about "skin and bones" is more about how normal it is to comment on someone that isn't overweight. I can't imagine people tolerating fat-shami
