- 1. The pet food industry does not have your fur-babies' best interest in mind.

- 3. The dumbest people are usually the first ones to voice their opinions.
- 4. Not everything should be done in moderation; some things shouldn't be done at all.
- 5. Your body converts aspartame into formaldehyde, and there's actually a debate as to whether this is a bad thing or not.

Quitting smoking isn't as terrifying if you make-believe your withdrawal symptoms are being caused by some exceedingly enjoyable narcotic, and you will, in fact, spend the first few days laughing your head off at your silliness. The subsequent five days you spend standing in the shower shaking and crying will kinda suck, though.
- 15. It is better to distract an annoyed cat who is hellbent on attacking his brother with kindness and something to smell rather than making an attempt to discipline with loud voices and clapping hands.
- 16. Not all rap music sucks.
- 17. If you profess your dislike for a particular group of things, you'll soon find yourself loving something from it.
- 18. Preferences and opinions have nothing to do with truth.
