I'm passionate about
Not wasting calories on unremarkable food.
An idea worth spreading
I think the quality of your life is determined by: 1) the quality of your parents; 2) the quality of your government; and 3) your health.
Good parents can make up for bad governments but good governments struggle to make up for bad parents.
