South Africa introduced a sugar tax in 2018.

The sugar tax resulted in a significant drop in sugar production in SA (and thousands of jobs lost).
How old were you when you realized your original plan of playing the hero at work, working relentlessly, doing way more than you were paid to do, and assuming you’d be rewarded without ever having to ask was a stupid idea?
We’re not doctors. We don’t work in the ER, and we’re not defusing bombs. We work in spreadsheets. Nobody needs a response within the hour. The fake urgency in corporate needs to stop.
How to destroy your life
-Don't exercise
-Be a pessimist
-Spend all day indoors
-Don't get enough sleep
-Complain about everything
-Blame others for your circumstances
-Eat a diet full of hyper processed foods
-Wake up and immediately go on your phone
-Follow people who spread fear and negativity
If you want a great life the opposite of this list.
You are absorbing more in a single day than your grandparents processed in a month. Notifications, opinions, outrage, disasters, advertisements, noise. Your nervous system was not built for this. The reset you're looking for isn't a supplement or more information. It's a walk without your phone. Dinner with no screen.
A bedtime that respects your body.
A pause for fresh air, sunshine, and laughter
Zig zagging through traffic like you’re part of a kasi wedding celebration only for us to meet at the robot at the same time. Waste of energy and time. Relax and drive like a normal person. Can’t out drive peak Monday morning traffic unfortunately.
