It’s all in her eyes, which look around, acknowledging the presence of curious faces. They gleam when she smiles through them and begin to dance when they see the camera. Her eyes know it all!

Cooked, not raw food provides more energy
Contrary to popular belief, cooked food provides more energy than its raw version, which is particularly true of meat.
