Just my thoughts #0538

When a cow dies, it becomes beef, and when a human being dies, it becomes a corpse. If you can’t live with honor, your life isn’t even as valuable as beef. Beef is food, but a corpse is merely a cost. Cows help humans until they die, but humans are worthless once they pass away. The sooner you understand this futility, the better your life will be. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0044

Wine contains "polyphenols," which are antioxidants, but it also includes ethyl alcohol, which is a Class 1 carcinogen according to the World Health Organization. Wine sellers emphasize "polyphenols" for their benefit. Nutritional supplements, such as vitamins, are marketed by highlighting their benefits. The explanation is very appealing. But let's look at it this way. We'd laugh if the function of a car were redundantly described as "saving people from heart disease," "promoting tourism," or "robbing banks" instead of simply "moving people around quickly".  Beyond the idea of trying to sell something unreasonable with all sorts of health claims without knowing exactly what they are, there is the hidden deception of fooling others or being fooled by oneself, and greed. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
