REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Caitlyn Ruhl 4/13/2021 5:01 AMNot surprising but not good, either. I would love to see money go toward local farmers - making unprocessed food more common.
