...timeless popularity of cooking shows: "Cooking shows have taught us, changed us and changed with us. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, they have evolved to satisfy our yearning for quality, affordable, environmentally and health conscious, easy to prepare yet sophisticated food. And while many viewers may not have the time to execute the lessons nor the money to afford the high-end ingredients or appliances used by cooking show hosts, these shows prevail because everyone eats, knows something about food, and can relate to the endeavor...
...legislatures to obtain recognition or acceptance for its practitioners, who treat injured or ill individuals by praying for them. Contrary to popular belief, Christian Scientists are not prevented from seeking medical treatment; the church just wants to make sure that both members and nonmembers are also able to afford visits to practitioners, which typically cost from $20 to $30 per session, and longer-term services of private nurses (who provide nonmedical care such as bathing, dressing wounds and feeding) and nursing facilities.

Indeed, health officials said last week that early evidence suggests...
...would it appear if the U.S., the chief culprit of climate change, continued to emit and emit merely because it could financially afford to? It is a fact that the U.S. cannot trade away all of its emissions credits and will have to make cuts no matter what, but the point still stands. Although aggregate admissions rates would still fall, the sense of shared sacrifice would be lost. Sandel claims the commodification of emissions might remove the stigma associated with emissions. Paying for emissions could very well just become the price of doing business as usual...
