This is sort of a shower thought because this morning I was using some shaving cream and I thought, if it turns out in 5 years this was giving me cancer, I wouldn't be surprised.

Comes out a goo, ejected from a can with force, immediately becomes a foam?

Do you have anything you use that you think might be too good to be true?

All of these Omega-3 and so-called healthy foods that have markup prices.

Like, an organic banana vs a original banana. What the fuck am I missing out on here?

Mostly I've noticed the organic ones have more flavour. If there's nutritional differences, I'd mostly expect it to just be more of the same nutrients in the organic version.

i don't notice a difference in bananas.

I was taught to buy organic if you eat the outside (apples, herbs) but not if you peel it (bananas, garlic).

Side by side the organic herbs and spinach seem way healthier at kroger but the garlic and bananas seem identical on the inside. taste the same to me but i'm getting old and that could be just me losing my sense of taste.

at new seasons the non organic produce looks as lush as the organic stuff at kroger.
