The Real Junk Food Project
For Adam Smith, the slogan ‘Life is a Beach’ turned out to be somewhat prophetic. Drawing inspiration from his days on the beaches of Australia, Smith decided to dedicate his life to creating The Real Junk Food Project (or TRJFP for short).

Using that food, Smith has then created a “pay-as-you-feel” cafe, with customers using money, labor, or other social currency. { read more }

To pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than oneself. Whenever a man so concentrates his attention — on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God — that he completely forgets his own ego and desires, he is praying.
