"Does It Matter if I Eat the Stickers on Fruits and Vegetables?" 

 

Quote

Though the stickers are edible, they have no flavor and no nutritional value. 

 

Ya think?

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

I did like this notion

The PLU sticker, which stands for “Price Look Up,” serves an important function in grocery stores: how much to charge the clerk for that item.

 

Why is the clerk being charged? I'd do a big shop if the check out clerk was going to be charged!

All 'newspapers' just reprint press releases uncritically. Seeing the same garbage on multiple sites is normal.

The bigger problem may be that you probably aren’t washing your produce before chomping into it  🤨
