Beet

The Humble feast menu included beet borsht, mushroom leek risotto, kale spring salad, and peach crisp as dessert. The menu sounded great from first glance especially since I typically eat sandwiches for lunch or frozen food for dinners on the weekend.

The increase in obesity among adolescents is partially due to a decrease in physical activity (Gao et al., 2010).

The above quote depicts death as a permeable state, as though it is a series of doors to pass through with ease.
