Sounds like farming!
The IRS suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an agent to investigate him. IRS AUDITOR: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them." BOAT OWNER: "Well, there's Clarence, my deck hand, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1,000 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bacardi rum and a dozen beers every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally." IRS AUDITOR: "That's The guy I'm here here to talk to- The mentally challenged one." BOAT OWNER: "That would be me. What would you like to know?" #614clinton

It seems the @TuftsNutrition Dean used to know that eggs were healthy, and sugars/starches bad for health. Now he promotes Froot Loops, Count Chocula, fake cheese over real foods. Maybe that's what happens when you rise to advise @RepMcGovern @CoryBooker @AmbassadorRice? A nation of sick people deserve better.
New chart from Tufts' new food ranking system. 53 General Mills cereals all healthier than cheddar cheese, milk, egg cooked in butter Including: Dora the Explorer, Berry Burst Cheerios, Count Chocola, Lucky Charms, Chex Chocolate. (General Mills funds a Tufts Food Inst 🤨)

As soon as I wake every morning, I remind myself that all human beings are the same as me—we all want to be happy. I resolve to use my life to ensure that other beings are happy. It’s compassion that brings about peace of mind, not anger and hatred.

Family, Being truthful about the state of our nation and world does not = losing hope. Hope sees truth and still believes in better; and is willing to strategize and work for it. That which dismisses or does not seek truth, but says "It will be okay,” is naivete, not hope.
