The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

^^It finally occurred to me that I can buy a couple of pounds of popcorn kernels and 100 paper lunch bags for less than $5.^^

Unreal idea. Popcorn is very healthy also - 100% whole grain and a good source of fiber. Thanks for the idea as I might add that when I next go shopping. I have been buying mixed nots a lot as a kind of staple diet.

I find a trick to eat well is to make the decision not in the kitchen, but when buying food. Just don't bring crap home, don't even bring anything with sugar, and you soon adapt and feel way better. Most of the population is half-addicted to sugar and it really messes with the natural dopamine regulation, so you start to become unmotivated by things like solving problems, or working, and instead just start to always want food.
