Q1 - The small print matters. Thinkers read ingredient labels and understand the purpose and potential dangers of each ingredient. Do you know what you are eating?

Q2 - A trick question. Tastes are designed (fake). Full food costs are hidden and long-term. #1 for Thinkers is nutrition - how to make nutritious food tasty, low-cost, and convenient is follow up. What is the full cost of eating a package of Oreos?

Turning off technology has taught me what a lab rat I have become - reaching for my phone, wanting my phone. When I have put my phone in another room, I have had a phantom limb effect - I think it is in my pocket vibrating. Have you put your phone off, away, and out of sight to do deep work in the last week?
