Eating fruits and vegetables has been linked to lung cancer.

Well, fuck it. I mean this is it. There is a link to cancer in absolutely everything we do. Might as well eat all the chocolate chip cookies I can get my grubby little paws on then.

What I find irritating about this is I think we humans have deluded ourselves into thinking there is some magic formula that will get us around sickness and death. And Mother Nature, like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown to kick, keeps coming back with her irrefutable answer — fooled you yet again.

I don’t know why I never realized this before now but butter is absolutely the best addition a person can make to any food. The best. It can make a stale piece of bread taste delicious. Maybe there can be too much butter but I seriously doubt it. I have never had that experience. Too much pepper yes, too much salt, an emphatic yes. But butter never. Even if I don’t like the taste of something, or I think I won’t like it, I can be persuaded to try it if this thing is slathered in butter. So I have tried snails and oysters but the only reason I even attempted a taste was because of the butter.

This is an irrefutable truth.
