8 Stations of the dining table for the Holy Week

1. Fasting is the fountain of youth.

2. The heart feels young if it isn't fatty.

3. You're a step ahead of chemical contaminants. Foods containing animal and
dairy fat are particularly vulnerable to contaminants.

4. Fiber from plant foods helps dilute, bind, inactive and remove toxic substances
and carcinogens in our food supply.

5. Abstaining from eating meat is actually pro poor, anti poverty.

6. Shunning the meat is also pro environment.

7. Giving up animal-based food means showing mercy in the day of holy.

8. You are not alone. Believe it or not, numerous vegetarian restaurants have
been sprouting around the Metro and even in far flung provinces.

Sometimes you have to shed your old bark in order to grow

Grow where you are planted

It's perfectly okay to be a late bloomer

Avoid people who would like to cut you down.

Get all spruced up when you have a hot date.

If the party is boring, just leaf.

You can't hide your true colors as you approach the autumn of your life.

It's more important to be honest than popular.
