I never researched Meth before, and your page def. gave me some good facts about how it effects you. The pictures were a great touch to it! I learned how much it is being used from the chart.

I never knew you could burn 4000 calories backpacking. My parents love doing anything active outdoors, I'm sure they'd love looking
at your page.

One of my biggest problems is snacking to much or skipping meals due to being busy. Your page showed me several ways to eat
healthy in a busy schedule!
