Opus 2024-424: Healthy Insights: Go Green

As I sit waiting for the little icon to show up that says “skip”, I am forced to listen to the verbal Clickbait being offered up on different YouTube videos.  There’s a guy who is billed as a famous  cardiologist.  I’m not sure why, but he’s famous and great and awesome and I guess he doesn’t make enough money as it practicing doctor and is forced to make videos.  I don’t think I’ve ever listened all the way to the end of anything he has to say.  In this case, I listened just long enough to find out that green bananas are good for me and that ripe bananas will ruin my health.  At least that’s my interpretation of what he said.

Life is complex.  I think it’s complex enough already without having to worry about whether ripe bananas will kill me or not.  I’ve been eating bananas all my life.  In fact, I’m going through another period where they’re becoming a part of my diet. and to be honest, I actually like the slightly green bananas more than the ones that are turning brown.  The yellow ones in between can be OK but I tend to like the green.  So my problem is not that he’s pushing green bananas.  My problem is that I have enough gurus trying to run my life that I don’t really need one to pick my bananas for me.

Basic bananas are currently 50 cents a pound here in Texas.  Gurus are a dime a dozen.  They like to sneak up on you with advertisements.  Sometimes they approach you through Clickbait where you voluntarily touch the button. Either way you are informed of all the empty spots in your life.

Good luck with that
