What to eat before traveling is another simple question, but one with a lot of potential bad answers.
Regardless of whether you ate before your workout or not, you shouldn’t avoid eating after the workout.
A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste.
— Jules Carlysle

Penny Dollar: Can I borrow that book of yours How To Become A Millionaire?
Penny Wise: Sure. Here you are.
Penny Dollar: Thanks - but half the pages are missing.
Penny Wise: What’s the matter? Isn’t half a million enough for you?
Which is kind of what all the ‘how to make money’ and ‘how to get rich’ coaching programs are doing.
And that brings us to money, and with money, to the saying that “money is the root of all evil.” Which actually is an incomplete quote. “Money is the root of all evil” came from “The Love of Money is the root of all evil.” Some dumbass(es) somewhere along the line lost the first part and started a huge pointless debate on whether or not money is evil.

Who came up with this kind of introductory lines anyway… h/she should be forced to watch ‘Pledge This!‘ 100 times, with no breaks other than vital ones — watching that film is more painful than watching paint dry. (Paris Hilton stars in it, now do you believe me?)
OK, so you probably have a pretty good idea what the story of your stuff is, from resource extraction and production to consumption and disposal. What you may not know (not very well at least) are some of the facts and connections between the environmental and social issues that our planet is facing. And that is where “The Story of Stuff” kicks in to help you. Read the rest of this post »
