I get it when a person I know is bragging about how she/he now leads a very healthy life a.k.a becoming the gym goers, had solemnly made an oath to never eat any meat of a sentient being, and never miss 5k morning jog no matter what; it's understandable, a healthy life is indeed hard … Continue reading Bizarre
