   >And, boy, was I hungry at first. After a while I wasn't hungry any more... That's the real secret, and it could use some expansion. Isn't that where 99% of dieters fail? Why were you able to overcome your hunger when so many people fin

    This is great. I also strongly recommend their documentary about North Korea. It's a best in class type documentary, better than many that have won Oscars. http://www.vbs.tv/watch/the-vice-guide-to-travel/vice-guide-... http://www.vbs.tv

    It's hard to keep it anonymous when you shed it everywhere you go, and it's not illegal for people to pick up those particles, analyze them, and hold it against you in a court of law.
