"My work has also motivated me to put a lot of time into seeking out good food and to spend more money on it."
Food

Evolution

Science

Religion
"Human cultures vary widely in the plants they use to gratify the desire for a change of mind, but all cultures (save the Eskimo) sanction at least one such plant and, just as invariably, strenuously forbid certain others. Along with the temptation seems to come the taboo."
