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.
Does it count if I already know whiskey is bad for me?

My insulin.
I can promise you it's not nearly as bad as not taking your insulin.
Oh yeah, defiantly. Wife said, maybe it ends up like chemo, the benefits, out weigh the bad, but you still don't want to use it as a hair removal drug.
I definitely donβt like the creosote based preservatives that give it that weird smell.
I have type 1 though, so itβs indisputable that itβs healthier for me than no insulin - without external insulin, Iβd be in DKA, a coma and then dead probably in less than a week.
Type 2 here, just diagnosed on Nov 19th after a minor stroke. I was trying to identify the smell, was making me think of a dentist office. It's not a pleasant smell for sure.
They are also used in bandage packages, also some medical soaps, sanitizer and anesthetic - metacresol and phenol.
Cosmetic products containing carbomer - it's literally microplastic acryllic and it's in EVERYTHING
UHT milk.
I've been mad about UHT milk ever since I discovered I can't make clotted cream with the ultra high temperature stuff. I don't want unpastuerized milk but ffs, let me have some texture I can work with!
