We often hear meat-eaters say things like, “If beef isn’t good, why do the manufacturers of plant-based burgers try so hard to make their burgers taste like real meat?”
There is no doubt that cow and pig meat tastes and smells great; every vegan on Earth will tell you that.
The problem lies elsewhere, in a) the environmental impact of clearing the rainforests to make room for more cows, and b) the cruelty inherent in factory farming and the slaughtering of the animals.
Meat–It’s What’s for Dinner, if You Don’t Care about the Animals or the Planet
If you want to watch a video to learn what the ultra-right-wing Hillsdale “College” says about the decline of the American citizen, you’ll have to Google it, because I’m not going to link it.
We often discuss the World Happiness Rankings, and how the Scandinavian countries are consistently at the top.
It’s interesting, as I learned when I visited a customer’s home in Denmark, that kids don’t start school until they’re seven years old. Does this contribute to happiness?
As my friend told me, “The rat-race starts soon enough. Yes, the French and the Germans are ahead of us academically for a while, but by the time our kids are in high school, we’ve completely caught up. Why not let them be kids?”
Yet there must be some who admonish that children’s minds are like sponges, soaking up whatever’s in the vicinity. Would you rather it be cartoons or arithmetic/reading?
Also, there is the subject of socialization, which is why common wisdom would suggest that there is value in having four- and five-year-olds growing up surrounded by the peers.
I honestly don’t know.

What changed the world forever in 2016 and set Trump’s sociopathic criminality loose on this planet was Hillary Clinton’s flippant remark to the effect that Trump supporters were “deplorable” human beings (see below).
Guess what? Nobody wants to be told that they are wrong, stupid, or despicable. Most of us learned this somewhere along the line, and one would have hoped that her Wellesley College / Yale University education would have clued her into this important fact.
Human civilization would be in a completely different place today had she simply said, “I will be a president for all Americans, regardless of their wealth, physical and mental health, ideology, or level of education.”
