As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet, they are choosing animal-free plant-based options. Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands of the cultivated (培育的) meat is rising. While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes (替代品), none of them have the same taste of cow’s milk. Now, a food-tech company created real dairy products (奶制品) without harming a single cow or the planet.

The company stresses that their product produced in the lab is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. And it is very healthy. The company also says that the lab-produced milk tastes the same as the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. “Our company was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not a choice,” John said. “But today’s milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destroying our planet, our health, and our animals, and is simply not sustainable (可持续的) anymore.”

The environmental price tag of dairy farming is too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as pollute the air around them. Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure (粪肥) and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company. And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.

It’s a common experience: You’re reading through a social media page, and you see pictures of friends traveling or going to parties. Suddenly you start to wonder why you’re not doing those things. Are you missing out on something fun and exciting because you’re locked into everyday life? This experience has come to be known as the fear of missing out, or FOMO. To some extent, people have always worried about missing out on things. But with the rise of social media, FOMO is becoming much more common.

Wanting to be in on the fun when exciting things are happening is completely normal. But for some people, it can lead to an obsession with checking their phones to find out what other people are doing. Even while doing things that are fun or necessary, people can feel like there’s something better going on elsewhere. This urge to connect can lead them to disconnect from the people they are actually with. It prevents them from being satisfied with the good things in their lives. It can even be dangerous; some people try to check messages while driving.

It’s important to remember that what people choose to post on social media does not necessarily reflect their life overall. People tend to pick and choose the things they share, so we only ever know a small part of anyone else’s life.

It might even be necessary to turn off your phone or log out of social media for a while. Get rid of the constant reminders of everything that’s happening in the world. You can even set particular times in your day to check email and social media. By stepping away for a time, you can help keep other people’ lives in perspective.

Finally, focus on the things in front of you. Enjoy them, do them well and let everything else go. When you fully engage with life, you’ll worry less about what you’re not doing.

The hardest thing to do is keep trying hard to achieve our goal when we see no signs of change. This is because our brains like obvious evidence that our efforts are getting us closer to what we want and who we want to become. 【小题1】 So how do we keep motivated when it seems to make no progress?

【小题2】 Write down any and all observable changes, even if you feel like they are not worthy to write down. Those kinds of changes usually do not continue in our memories so we may not be able to notice all the changes that are actually happening. Small changes, when gathered, eventually cause the big change that we long for.

Don’t compare with anyone else. Celebrate what is happening in your journey rather than looking at someone else’s path and thinking about what happened to them. 【小题3】 You don’t need to come in “ first place. ”

Question your expectations. Often ask yourself: 【小题4】 Unrealistic expectations increase disappointment and can be difficult to recover from when unmet.

Have a life outside of your goal. If you stare at minute hand of a clock, the passing of an hour will seem like a lifetime. When you are working on a goal it is important to diversify (使……多样化) how you spend your time. 【小题5】
