Navigating the Complexities of Modern Life: From Billie Eilish’s Music to the Cost of Olive Oil, and Everything in Between

Billie Eilish and Becky Hill share a dark perspective on coming of age in the modern world

Billie Eilish’s album delves into the struggles of young fame, depression, body dysmorphia and failed relationships. Meanwhile, Becky Hill humorously reflects on the social aspects of university life, joking about making friends through alcohol and possible consequences. These statements serve as a stark contrast to the simpler times of the 60s, reminisced by some readers.

On a different note, the cost of extra virgin olive oil can exceed £16 per litre when supporting Palestinian farmers through solidarity premiums. Despite its high price, consumers appreciate its quality and origin. The evolution of cuisine can be observed through products like olive oil that were not as common in the past, shared one reader’s experience in the 1960s.

Financial disparities are a major concern for some readers who complain about schools paying apprenticeship levies without benefiting while individuals like Euan Blair profit from such systems. Climate change is another hot topic that prompts discussions on mitigating its effects, including suggestions like having fewer children as an environmental strategy.
