What are some good recipes for homemade cat food?
A cat, being a carnivore, needs a diet that is about 75% calories by fat and 25% by protein. They do not ever need any carbohydrates. Carbs will only make them obese and get diabetes.
If their diet is too high in protein they will also become ill. They need to get their energy from fat. So don't feed your cat cans of tuna, for instance. That's almost all protein.

It pisses me off how society shows men as ugly and mean, and women all graceful beauty-beauties. Why don't they see as much beauty...
Because we're living in bountiful, peaceful times. Men have become somewhat less important as a result. Naturally the women are using this as an opportunity to assert dominance. The dominant get what they want. And what do women want? Usually the chance to mate with the alpha males while getting the subordinate ones to support them. Notice that not all the men on TV, etc. are portrayed...

how fast can i lose 20-25 lbs if i eat 800 calories a day and jog for 30 minutes 5x a week?
The reason you're overweight is precisely because you're eating all those veggies. Go on a high fat/zero carb diet instead. If you eat nothing but meat and dairy with about 75% of your calories coming from fat and 25% from protein you should be able to lose about 2-4 pounds per week easy. There would be no limit to how many calories you ate as you wouldn't be eating any carbs so you won't...

Even altruism is ultimately selfish.

How is it that something that doesn't cause you physical pain can still hurt worse than any injury?
All of our feelings are only tools to get us to more sucessfully reproduce. Physical pain feels bad because the injured or ill cannot procreate as well. A broken heart can feel even worse because of the loss of opportunity of having children. It's instinctive.

1 in 7 Americans live below the poverty level.What's wrong with this picture? Why is he US govt avoiding the 'd' word (depression)?
They used to be called 'panics.' But it was felt that that was too strong a word. So they used 'depression' instead. So we're depressed rather than panicking. Then they changed it to 'recession.' So we're not depressed; we're just at recess. What's next?

This would be like a super Atkins diet. Very fatty meat, eggs, cheese, mayo, etc. are the kinds of foods you would eat. Hunger should not be much of a problem with a high fat diet.

Stay away from smoothies and stop believing the quacks who claim that they're healthy.

Do not try and become someone like you see on television. In other words, don't pick as a career actor, athlete, artist, author or anything else that seems glamorous. These fields are always overcrowded, with your chances of getting a decent job almost nil. Instead, pick something boring sounding like accountant or engineer. That's where the money's at.

Humans will get vitamin deficiencies unless it's fortified. And due to its high carbohydrate content the consumption of it is a leading cause of obesity and diabetes in this country.

Why do girls allways say they want a nice kind guy when they don't?
It is in a woman's best interest to have someone with the best genes father her children. Preferably a man who is good at getting other women into bed as that will improve her own sons' chances of reproducing their own DNA. Thus you will see women attracted to 'bad' boys who have another girl with them already.
However, it is also in their best interests to have a man who will support them...

Suppose 2 dice are rolled. What are the odds that a sum of seven turns up?
There are 36 possibilities and 6 of them result in a 7. So it's 6 out of 36 or 1 out of 6.
For a 6 or an 8 the odds are 5 out of 36.
For a 5 or a 9 the odds are 4 out of 36 or 1 out of 9.
This pattern continues through all the numbers down to 2 and up to 12.
