Definitely...to find the absolute best product for the least amount of money. Can spend days doing that. Often it also shows you if you REALLY want or need something and that is kind of rare. I doubt I do more than 5 purchases a year that a

Same story in Asia. Go to Thai cities and be surprised how many overweight children and adults you'll see. It's not just fast food, its anything processed. In India you often see kids eat raw instant noodles as snacks.

Unfortunately the amount of groups on Facebook is nowhere else to be found, especially important for people who move/travel a lot. Not to mention the majority of events & co often only is posted on FB.

The state of the world proves to you that basically everybody is a "psychopath". We are all self obsessed and our empathy barely reaches to our next door neighbor. The world is a mad house, is this really news to you?
