If you read the CBC articles, they are very careful to say that there is 50% soy DNA, so they are not misrepresenting the study. The point is to draw a comparison against other restaurants which were close to to 100% chicken DNA. They are making a relative comparison to other restaurants, not saying the 'chicken' is 50% soy.
Except CBC didn't say the chicken was 50% soy. They said there was 50% soy DNA, compared to other restaurants they tested which had almost 100% chicken DNA. Still a valid point and rather disturbing that Burger King has better quality chicken than Subway.
Reading the article, CBC doesn't say the chicken is 50% soy at all. They merely draw a comparison across a lot of restaurants and point out that Subway has drastically more soy than anyone else. I think that it is still a very valid statement, if Burger King is lying to you less about the contents of their food than Subway is, unless you think the results of the study wouldn't be consistent from restaurant to restaurant.
"While most of the samples were found to contain close to 100 per cent chicken DNA, Subway sandwiches contained substantially less than the other chains. Tests showed an average of 53.6 per cent chicken DNA for the oven-roasted chicken and 42.8 per cent for the chicken strips."
While many media outlets took the results to mean that the chicken is only half chicken, the reality of DNA testing is slightly more nuanced.
DNA tests don't reveal an exact percentage of the amount of chicken in the whole piece, but DNA experts have told Marketplace that the testing is a good indicator of the proportion of animal and plant DNA in the product.
Trent University's Wildlife Forensic DNA Laboratory stands by its test results.
Yet if they did indeed test other restaurants and they had 85% chicken by the same test, it still means Subway has poor quality chicken and maybe should consider not selling it as such.
I guess it comes down to whether the labs understood this and CBC misinterpreted, or if the labs did not understand this. If the labs did not understand this than the lawsuit should be against the labs. I'm not sure if it sounds right to me that a chicken could become half the food it is eating, so there is definitely something wrong there.
That's a bit weak. Unless it can be proven that the one restaurant tampered with the meat and added soy, the statement "Subway chicken sandwiches may only be 50% chicken" is still true.
How is keeping residential areas residential punishing the middle class? Don't the middle class have homes that would benefit from not having a loud party next to them every weekend?
It's interesting that you bring up modest lifestyle. I have one as well, but I went to these headphones because of it. I grew tired of replacing $20 pairs that would break on me, and it became apparent that buying a quality pair that would last me at least five years would be the way to both save money and enjoy music. It was win, win for me. As far as I know they are also the only company that will allow you to replace them years down the road and get a discount on your new pair.
So you think Bose can by more ad space than Sony, Apple, Samsung, and Panasonic? Interesting. Not just more of the ad space but ALL the ad space to shut out every other competitor on every review site for the last 5 years or so. Interesting.
350 is for the top of the line noise reduction headphones. Every review I have read about those headphones have put them clearly top of the market for noise reduction technology. I don't have those headphones, mine are the base level ones that are more around $120. I have the around the ear ones and my buds I had an opportunity to buy at half price. Both of them are the most comfortable headphones I have ever used. The buds I fall asleep with in my ear and forget they are in when I wake up in the morning.
Ok badly worded. I meant the 'relatively no one' not 'absolutely no one'. If you want to get technical law enforcement should have them as well, and military, properly trained security, and probably some other fields I can't think of righ tnow. The point of gun control is not to oppress people but to limit use in a way that can be managed.
For me, what makes or breaks a distro is that they take time to customize the desktop manager in their vision that fits with the OS. Some distros I really enjoyed and found the DM very efficient but then you install it vanilla and it is completely different, whether it was a menu module like Mint has or what not. Another OS that comes to mind that works well is Elementary OS, even though that is Pantheon.
People will need to 'shoot critters' in low-density places. This will not be a large portion of the population. I didn't say no one should have a gun, I said that I would advise against it. Sorry, didn't think I needed to spell that out.
I've read a lot of reviews and they all say Bose has the best noise reduction hands down. I wouldn't call myself a Bose crusader, they just happen to be my best headphones to date.
And apparently *this* issue is from an optional app, but how long before there is a bluetooth device that installs something? Or requires you to install something in order to use it?
What other audio maker has a storefront that I can walk into? Where I can buy replacement pieces cheaply, and that will let me trade up for my next set of headphones? I understand that they are not the best sounding headphones out there, but the treble is clear and the bass is deep without clipping, and they are comfortable as hell. I walked into the store and tried them on and I was sold.
I bought Bose because they were in stores I could walk into and try them. I understand that they are not the *best* sounding headphones, but I could try them on and they were very comfortable. Also they explained to me how I could buy replacement silicone pieces (I lost them all the time), and how I could get a reduced rate on my next set of headphones as a trade-in any time. They have been with me for a great many years now. Currently I am looking at getting a Klipsche but I have no idea where I can go to try them. Maybe if I were in a big city there would be a place but I live in the other 80% of the country.
So I guess to put it simply, the answer is customer service and honest sales techniques.

Ohh I thought bacon was supposed to be transparent.

How so? CBC is being sued for telling the truth?
People have a right to know what they are eating.
They did two independent studies and both had the same result. I would say it is the labs that should be sued if anything.

Have you even HEARD a $350 pair of headphones? You own a phone without an audio port don't you? Admit it.
Crap, I read Bose.
