""Their 2014 report on the effects of Fair Trade certification in Ethiopia and Uganda found no improvement in the lives of workers on coffee farms, especially women. A 2020 study of the effects of Fair Trade in Costa Rica also found little benefit for unskilled workers, but did report higher sales prices, greater sales, and more revenues for coffee-farm owners—the target for Fair Trade efforts."" — Jan 03, 2026 06:01PM

“Mindful yogurt manufacturers often use bacteria that produce more dextrorotatory (right-turning) than levorotatory (left-turning) lactic acids. Molecules of the two kinds of lactic acid are mirror images of each other. Feeding the human digestive system with levorotatory lactic acid molecules is like giving a left-handed pair of scissors to a right-handed person: they’re hard to handle. That is why it is a good idea to pick yogurt from the supermarket shelves that states on the container: “Contains mainly dextrorotatory [or right-turning] lactic acid.”

“As long as there is happiness, there will be sadness. As long as there is fortune, there will be misfortune.
“…What’s real is something that not even the strength of the Goddess can change. The only one who can change it is me. If I don’t change my destiny, if I don’t cut through the obstacles in my path, then no matter where I go, I’ll always be standing in the same place, doing the same thing over and over again, for the rest of my life.”
― Brave Story
