Healthiest Places to Eat Out: Part One

Our ancestors had it good. Every meal, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner was home-made. E-additives, artificial coloring, xanthan gum and artificial preservatives were as mythical and unheard of as men who wear womens' clothes.  Fast forward to the 21st century. Not only do men now sport skinny jeans, we now also preside in a world which places speed above all else. "Slow food", once a staple, has now become  a luxury for the upper echelons of society. As a consequence, the food we ingest today is hardly what it seems.  When you munch into a seemingly pedestrian cookie, you're munching along with it numerous artificial flavors, colors, synthesized chemicals and preservatives.

Life Tip #123: Sorry

So you messed up. Big deal.  We're human and humans mess up. But next comes the apology... and this is when we inexcusably mess up. This is how not to apologize: "Alright fine I'm sorry, but I didn't do it on purpose *babble* *babble* *babble*" When somebody is mad at you, the last thing that person wants to hear is excuses and reasons as to why you shouldn't be blamed. An emotional person whose emotions are clouded with disappointment and anger is unlikely to respond to any logical reasoning.
