As a volunteer with a charitable organisation that accepts donations of and resells used books, I'm not a fan of dog-earring, but it's 10000000% better than highlighting (or even worse, writing comments in the margins). FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T DO THAT. Even if you're planning on… Read More

Healthier than America? Surely you jest. The UK is at least as big on fried food as the US, and quite possibly even less into actual fresh vegetables.

Don't forget "minutes from (downtown, the beach, major employer you probably work for, other desirable location)" - half an hour away, with no other cars on the road, if you run all lights and break the speed limit

$190B per year? Oh pleeeeeeease. I'd be very interested to see how exactly they're breaking down the numbers on that one. "Fat person trips on cracked sidewalk, breaks ankle, goes to hospital: OBESITY STRIKES AGAIN!!1!" And yeah, anyone who claims that alcoholism/binge drinking is… Read More
