Just because a bodily function is natural doesn't mean it's not gross. (See: pee, poo, birth.) I don't blame people for being grossed out about periods. Blood is typically supposed to stay inside of your body. So when it doesn't, yeah, that's a little weird. I understand and admire what these kids are trying to do,…

I do that with laughs. Anyone else?

Yeah, right? I can't be the only one who thought that didn't make no kinda sense.

You're welcome! I feel that most of the time on Jez, we're supposed to be pro-fat in the name of "tolerance." Which just isn't practical, responsible, or healthy. I feel like it's the one issue that turns otherwise intelligent, educated Jezzies into stubborn idiots who refuse to recognize not only logic, but also…

I'm in NorCal. I know that strawberry shopping can be an exhaustive exercise and success often includes a degree of luck, but this summer the selection was just bad. I'm thinking maybe there was a hiccup in transportation or something? But does an issue like that last the whole summer?

OH HONEY DON'T EVEN WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE.

Simple answer: I don't think you can. I'm in the same boat. I don't want kids right now, and most of the time cannot really ever see myself wanting them ever. But I've lived life enough to know that you can never say never.

Can I just ask you: have the strawberries in your Safeway been utterly repulsive, too? Like, covered in mold while up for sale on the shelf? I feel like it's been a real problem this summer. Not sure if it's the crops or just my area.

It's definitely a topic with many shades of gray. It's tempting to oversimplify things in an attempt to reach a resolution, which I don't think helps anybody. I feel like the main take away should be: don't exclusively eat crap, get off your bum every day, and employ common sense.

I see. I'm basing my experience on Safeway, which I feel is pretty middle of the road. Fruits and veggies there are pretty cheap (corn for 25 cents each), and some snack foods are surprisingly pricey (Rice Crispy Treats for about 5 bucks). Then again, I know whole wheat breads and healthful cereals are pricier than…

Do we really make junk food way too accessible and cheap, though? I feel like six bucks stretches a lot more among fruits and veggies than it does ice cream.

It's not classist, it's just true.

You're right; it does not. And "overweight" does not necessarily equal "unhealthy." However, I think it's the potential for unhealthy repercussions that come with being overweight that people do not consider. (Thankfully) former Jez writer Lindy loved to say, "I'M OVERWEIGHT AND I HAVE PERFECTLY HEALTHY CHOLESTEROL…

One time I made brownies just so I could eat the raw brownie batter.

DON'T EVEN with him. He's a troll who thinks being contrarian = intellectual gigantism.

You're getting needlessly asshole now.

I feel the same way about Twilight and the name Bella. Such great names wasted on such worthless people.

"Good bitch" is my newest backhanded affection boner.

This week started with creepy pervs leaking celeb nudes, leads to Joan dying, and culminates in my top Jez writer leaving. AND summer is over. Everything sucks. I love you and all you did for T&T gifs. Best of luck. Keep being awesome personified.

Yep. I want to OD all the time knowing these people are a thing.
