Great read, I think a lot of people don't subscribe to the word "evil," perhaps because it alludes to the idea of someone else being in the driver's seat. "The devil made me do it," that kind of thing. However, when I think about atrocities committed around the world, there doesn't seem to be a more fitting word than evil. I do believe that corporations keep us in line and under their influence in any number of ways, and social media is an absolute danger to anyone who can't unplug. I personally have to just put the phone down, walk away from the computer, and just recharge. Otherwise, it's hard to separate myself from the experience, and I lose who I am in the process. Definitely lots to chew on, but making us think is the point, for sure.

Very interesting part on the food Preston!

And great advice on eating the whole food instead of canned.

I live in Germany, and the situation is bad here, but I can imagine in the US it’s even more difficult to eat healthy.

I also read a book that explained how even our cars have been designed to eat fast food. With the cup holders, most fast food can be eaten quickly and with one hand(even when you’re driving), and combined with the drive-thru.

You don’t even need to get out of your car nowadays to access food.

It’s crazy…
