Life is full of ups and downs – we need them in order to navigate this world! We would get bored if everything was always smooth sailing. When you’re feeling bad about where you are in life, remember these things:

1. You Have A Roof Over Your Head

It may seem like a sort of birthright, having a place to live; but we forget many people don’t have a place they can call home.

If you can go snuggle up in a warm bed, that is an important thing to appreciate. If there’s ever a day where you just don’t like your life, remind yourself you have a safe place to live.

Gratitude for the simple things in life is what gives us perspective, appreciation and a sense of happiness.

2. You Have Support

Whether this looks like a friend who is there for you, your mom, teacher or even your pet, someone is there for you! Some of us are put in tough positions where we need to get by in life with absolutely no help. Continue reading →

This over consumption and dependence on meat has lead researchers to ask the question: Are human beings actually meant to be herbivores? This thought stems from the damage that meat processing does to our environment and bodies.

Humans:

3. Human’s tongues don’t have fat or meat receptors. This means that we cannot taste much of anything when we eat raw meat. We do taste salt and plant seasonings, but neither of those are animal products.
