That’s what I kind of love about old European cities. We’re so provincial in North America with our ample body burying space.

Hoooly crap, either I am a total ignoramus is this a *majorly* overlooked story. How is it not common knowledge that this guy practically gave himself cancer by ingesting such massive amounts of fructose (you know, fruit sugar) for decades on end?!

Killed by an Apple? How unoriginal.

I feel like we need to start talking about Freelee, Banana Girl here.

There is a cheese fruit, named after its smell. (also known as vomit fruit)

All this - hell yes. I lost a friend to colon cancer back in 2013, something that was quite treatable when it was originally discovered by her doctor. She decided she was going the cannabis/vegan - no chemo route. I respect her choice to treatment but I also miss her, and hate all those do terra motherfuckers who…

If I remember correctly (and I could be wrong about this), he had dodged a bullet because the form of pancreatic cancer he had was treatable. The problem was that he tried some sort of unorthodox treatment (I guess fruitarian stuff?) and waited too long. By the time he went back for more standard treatment it was too…

25-30 pounds of fruit a day? How much does is that costing him? In money and in time? It seems like you would spend all your time either eating fruit or sitting on the can.

The fruitarian way is the best way, that’s why Steve Jobs is still alive and healthy.

I don’t even like making my own salad at a restaurant let alone a full meal. I am a lazy, lazy toddler with a credit card- just bring me cake and maybe some crayons and I will tip you and leave. No muss, no fuss.

There’s an interesting subtext here that doesn’t have to do with sport. WHY have major world religions become more conservative? Pre-revolutionary Iran was pretty secular, but the revolution brought in a conservative movement. About the same time, Reagan courted and won with the help of the religious right - very…

It saddens me when I see women covered up because they have been brainwashed into some false sense of modesty because of an ancient patriarchal religious fairy tale.

Out of necessity most likely.

This reminds me of that meme I saw about how you shouldn’t say to your children, “see, this is why you stay in school” when you see blue-collar workers, because it teaches your children to devalue blue-collar workers instead of to value education...

Psychologists can diagnose, they are just not able to prescribe medication.

Like the man who was Trump’s ghostwriter for Art of The Deal and at least two other writers. Also two people who Trump met with several times to learn about foreign affairs issues (one of them said he asked three times in a one hour meeting why, if the U.S. has nuclear weapons, they don’t use them.)…

I had it my senior year, too, and I got a colicky one. After a few hours, I buried it in the basement under a mountain of pillows and blankets to muffle the sound, and ignored it for the rest of the weekend. The paper I wrote to go with the printout said that ever since my oldest sister had a baby at 20 and moved back…

OH MY GOD LOOK AT THOSE FORMER BABIES! I AM SO OLD! HOW DID I GET THIS OLD?!?!?!

Actually I do care enough to say that putting a 14-year-old girl in the “Missing White Woman Syndrome” category is pretty fucking low and fuck you for doing it.

Don't forget this is Jezebel where all sex work is sacred
