Those we in the so-called civilised world refer to as 'primitive cultures' often share with each other and work with each other to provide for their entire village
Fishermen and huntsmen will return home with their catch and share it with others who have not been on the hunt
We in the UK used to be much more caring and charity minded 20 years ago than we are today
20 years ago I ran a charity shop for a well-known charity - non of use were paid we just though it the right thing to do - work in a charity shop and go to charity fund raising coffee mornings
My shop had a rota of 40 volunteers - we could have had hundreds but I could not fit anymore in
Now in UK very few people help charities - the charity shops pay their staff and also have people sent to them for work experience
Directors of charities earn far too much money and in UK a great many fraudulent charities are being set up to raise money for refugees - almost without exception those charities are sending money to Islamic militants
I know that because I discussed with friends raising money for a hospital in Kobani and found out about all the scams
Luckily I did not mention this to a certain surgeon it would have raised his hopes up - it is almost impossible to start such a charity in UK - SORRY if you read this - you know who you are we did try NEVER give up

Healthy meals if didn't involve too much coffee drinking.
I have used my Actifry for frozen chips. It really makes nice and tasty chips.

No more, no less. After breakfast, tea at noon and 5. Coffee is just to keep me alive when I come out of Dreamland. It is the only thing that can decide me to return in that boring and ugly world : COFFEE.

It was even the 2 only way to cure (to make DIE) people with the bloodletting.
