Episode 544: Sponsorship for Christmas FM in Ireland not resonating

I asked a search engine. - why are people boycotting Coca Cola?People are boycotting Coca-Cola due to concerns over its alleged involvement in unethical labor practices, environmental issues, and its operations in disputed regions, particularly in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Additionally, rumors about the company laying off Latino workers and reporting them to immigration officials have fueled calls for a boycott among Latino communities.I can’t believe anyone in Ireland going around an Irish supermarket feels Coca Cola is the right sponsor for ‘the magic of Christmas’Christ under the Rubble:https://youtu.be/Q-1brSPn66w?si=FVNeuagt9CZmPkpF

Episode 542: Please bring back Orasi sugar free milk … below this is a conversation about balanced plant based diets

I think it is shocking how uneducated we are about what vitamins we need on a plant based diet.. everyone talks about vitamin B12 … but not Vitamin D or A Or can orasi remarket themselves with a barista sugar free milk? Like just take the ingredients of the no sugar drink and pour it into the barista packet!!! https://orasivegetale.com/en-us/https://orasivegetale.com/en-us/almond/
