Free Ride: The Stuff I Talked About Feb 25

Here is a click recap of the stuff I talked about today!!!

[Numbers in News]

Creamy or crunchy peanut butter? Seems crunchy peanut butter lovers are more optimistic than their creamy peanut butter counterparts. A survey commissioned by Jif found that 63% of those who prefer crunchy peanut butter describe themselves as optimists, compared to 56% of those who prefer creamy peanut butter. Crunchy peanut butter fans are also more extroverted and more likely to be night owls. Creamy peanut butter fans tended to be early birds and more introverted. (SWNS)

How desperate are people to travel? A survey by Trivago found that 81% of the people polled said not being able to travel has been one of the worst parts of the pandemic. And of those people itching to travel, 25% said they would give up all their savings if they could travel right now. 45% said they would give up their jobs, and 20% said they would ditch their significant other if it meant that they could travel immediately.

Free Ride: The Stuff I Talked About

Here is the stuff I talked about during the show.

Numbers in the News

Veggies are hot. You hear a lot about all the comfort foods that people have been reaching for over the last year, but it seems just as many people are reaching for healthy stuff  — particularly vegetables. 70% of people in a new survey say they have been eating healthier than ever — and 39% said their stay-at-home time has led to them eating more veggies. 68% said they have been using veggies more in their cooking and in more innovative ways. (SWNS)
Speaking of healthy eating … Move over paleo and vegan diets, there’s a new diet in town … and it’s a combination of both of those popular diets. It’s called the “pegan” diet. Created by physician and nutrition author Dr. Mark Hyman, the diet is basically 75% plant-based – with some animal products allowed … like grass-fed meat and butter, organic eggs, and wild-caught fish.
