I got this e-book and it has some cool facts we may not know about our daily life.

For example (first part is about food)
1: But I love Applebee's chicken sad

Many of the “low-fat” menu items at Applebee’s
restaurants contain over 500 calories; the “low-fat chicken
quesadillas,” for example, weigh in at a whopping 742
calories and 90 grams of carbohydrates per serving.
Applebee’s slogan:
“Welcome to the neighborhood.” Of people who think they
are dieting but aren’t.

2:
Despite its extensive menu, chain restaurant T.G.I.
Friday’s only makes nutritional data available for “low-fat”
dishes (under 500 calories and 10 grams of fat each).
There are only three such selections on the entire menu.

3:
Though banned by all European nations and
Canada, the synthetic hormone rBGH (Recombinant
Bovine Growth Hormone) is still used by American dairy
farmers to boost growth rates and increase body mass of
cows, despite being linked to higher risks of breast
cancer and hormonal disorders in humans who
consume milk from those cows.

The last one is pretty sickening, got damn it corporation why you killing my grandfather!!

depression rates (8.0 percent) than whites (4.8 percent).

6:
FroStudies show that 87 percent of people fear getting
trapped in dull conversations at dinner parties.

7:
More fast-food employees were murdered on the
job in 1998 than police officers. An average of four to five
fast-food workers are killed every month, usually during
robberies, as fast food is largely a cash business and most
restaurants have large amounts on site at any given time.
