There are some of us Addicted to Food

Due to some reasons, we are overwhelm by the amount of food our community has to offer. One dollar burgers, bottomless drinks, never ending fries, (special long Bread yummy submarins) does this help us or just kill us slowly? We live in a country in which we can obtain food for a dollar or less, but this does not mean we are getting something that is good for us.

We are heading forward for out overweight population than anything else. Don’t you think we need to do something about it?

Maybe we shouldn’t take the endless drinks and food, and we should just eat what we need to eat. By eating more than we need to we shorten our lives and decrease the chances of meeting our grand children (if you don’t want to have children think about not being able to watch your dream grow into what you wanted it to be).

So next time you are face with the decision of eating another bite or walking away really think about it. Do you really need the next bite (you are super full), do you really want to feel all tired because you over ate, do you really want to have a heart attack at 35, do you really just want to kill yourself slowly?

I understand that there are some of us that are addicted to food. With every other addiction like alcohol or drugs, you don’t need them to live (survive). When you are addicted to food is whole different story. You need food to survive, so even if you are trying to quit your addiction you are always tempted when you eat.

RENEWABLE ENERGY A SOLUTION FOR THE MALDIVIAN ECONOMY

After learning about "Two foreign companies expressed interest in looking for oil in Maldives" what immediately came into my mind was my country Maldives, where apart from total dependence on tourism revenue.the country's major source of electrical energy is from natural gas. This leads to a question on what will be fate of my country's economy when the oil price hit unreach.

Some presidential candidates still targeting for oil.why not green energy? why not windmills ?

Smorking rate is getting higher Among teenage Girls and Boys Is there any adventure or fun in smoking? Absolutely not! Don’t be fooled by the fun packed advertisements of the cigarette making companies. There is no “taste”, no “fun” and no “adventure” in smoking cigarettes. These are just the slogans of the cigarette making companies which are multiplying their profits at the cost of the precious human lives. Say no to smoking, if you want to live a normal healthy life free from diseases. Why not take a bold decision NOW and quit smoking immediately! Are you prepared to do so? Tobacco use is going to kill nearly 10 million people each year, mostly in their productive middle ages. It is estimated that 75% of these deaths will occur in the developing countries mainly due to the high number of smokers and lack of medical facilities available there.Future is on teen hands. please throw your cigarettes and hold you dreams.
