A La Carte (February 28)

The Economics of Sex – I guarantee this is one of the most interesting things you will encounter all day.

Get the Bigger Pizza – I guess we can file this under “stewardship.” “The math of why bigger pizzas are such a good deal is simple: A pizza is a circle, and the area of a circle increases with the square of the radius. So, for example, a 16-inch pizza is actually four times as big as an 8-inch pizza.”

You Want to #EndIt? – Lore Ferguson: I’m glad to see respected voices of men and women publicly denouncing human trafficking. … You have to act.
