An article: The Multiple Choice Test

Back in high-school in Brazil, her chemistry teacher challenged the entire school: If anyone gets 100% on the multiple-choice test tomorrow I'll give the everyone an A as well! So next day they received the test and Ursula remembers carefully answering each question but having trouble with one of them...

I didn't believe that the correct answer was even listed, so I wrote and circled my own answer on the test's paper.

The following day the teacher came back with the results... but she apologized after realizing 1 question was missing the correct answer. Plus to her surprise, someone had pointed out the correct missing one and answered all others correctly as well. So as she promised, the whole school got an A on their test!

She then announced Ursula's name and all her friends jumped in joy for helping them with their grades. What an amazing day that was!

This multiple test story made her realize a great analogy. That just because most people choose to be a omnivore, it does not mean that this is the correct answer also. In fact the truth many times can be hidden or hard to find, as there is no "correct answer" and we are all unique! In life it is important to have clarity, follow your heart (but take your brain with you as well) and make your own choices without being influenced by others. A diet that works for you might not work for others, and vice-versa. Just as a diet that works for a body builder does not work for a computer professional, and so on.

All diets exist and we encourage you to find your own as well!
