Hey there guys, I was just looking around online and found that amazon is selling sterile saline solution at a price of almost 20 USD/Liter. This may not sound so outrageous to some people, but if you know a little bit about chemistry it is not difficult to prepare your own for far cheaper. All you have to do is combine 9 grams of salt with 1 liter of boiled or distilled water in a clean container rinsed with ethanol and you have the same thing for a fraction of the price! Do any other examples of similar situations come to mind for you guys?

Oooh I like this!

What about; spending lots of money on fitness and diet programs when in reality developing your own self-accountability muscle through i+1 Habit training can ACTUALLY get you there!

Habit training is the key. I have so much still to learn and do.

Oh, I had not thought about the fitness aspect, but that makes a lot of sense. I actually saw that various firms are trying to research pills that can help offset some of the negative side effects of obesity, which is a little crazy to me. I mean, they must be spending ridiculous amounts of cash in hopes of finding a pill that can block one small fraction of the negative side effects of unhealthy diet and lifestyle instead of investing in ways to help people lead healthier lives.

Hahah seems very United States-ian of a solution!
