I guess we are healthier because of researched drugs. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm sick of it nevertheless..
Why don't I read for example how a street cleaner is sweeping times square, I'm sure it is just as interesting. Picking a piece after piece of garbage of different shapes and sizes dropped by different people from all over the world. Isn't that fascinating? Now let's think of the origin of each piece of garbage, how each piece of food was manufactured or how each piece of drink was mixed up before it was consumed and thrown away. Here is what I think is a worthy research, oops.
