In what region? In Scotland food is yer messages.

In the rest of the world fare means what you pay to use a bus.

Fairshare would make more sense because they're making things fair.

I'm sorry, I live in 2022. That meaning seems to come from 100s of years ago. Fair = the right thing to do, fare = a payment.

Because you pay a fare to travel on the train.

Why have we started eating twice as much in the last 15 years?

Well this was disappointing:
