  • Fortification can be used to manipulate some health rating systems. I don't know what system Canada uses, but Health Star is particularly vulnerable to this. Basically you can make a product that's high in fat / salt / sugar look better than it is by adding vitamins. So it makes some kind of sense to restrict fortification to certain classes of foods.

  • Total nothingburger. BioBank is a research dataset used for cohort studies. There's about 500k volunteers who contributed some genetic material, demographic and lifestyle information, anthropometrics and physiological measurements. It's mostly used to discern possible genetic and lifestyle factors for chronic disease. It's not like they're getting access to the whole NHS database and stealing DNA to build supersoldiers.

  • I mean there is peertube for video content. I know my instance runs aNONradio which is pretty eclectic music and talk radio, but there are probably other similar streams. There's quite a few services for CC licensed music. Personally I listen to a lot of actual play RPG podcasts, which are probably right on the border of hobbyist / side hustle stuff. More indie and low budget than say, critical role or the like, but still partially monetised, even if only to cover costs.

  • Hospitality worker here. Working weekends means less time to socialise with friends who are on a M-F schedule and less opportunity to attend events in general because they're usually scheduled on weekends. You'll have to put more effort into staying in touch with people and finding things to do on your days off.
