Most people make NEW resolves for the NEW YEAR! Some may decide to quit smoking, others may say NO to intoxicating drinks and other stuffs, while so many others may decide to concentrate more on their academic endeavors or to take their professions and businesses to new unscaled heights!
The one important point that this photo reminds me of is that overindulgent people must resolve to fight obesity! It will save on personal and governmental health-care costs and leave a lot of surplus food stocks that can help millions of people in the world that go to sleep with empty stomachs!
So, what is your NEW YEAR resolve?
HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR AND A VERY HAPPY NEW DECADE!
