    I had THE hardest time finding a fragrance-free, alcohol-free, mineral-oil-free physical sunscreen.

    Sometimes you say things

    This is a first world problem?

    There is literally some type of medexpress everywhere plus I have great health insurance, but I won't see a doctor.

    THIS!!

    I've also been told that this is a "guy thing", thoughts?

    Uncandidly... The hospitals are just full of people that have nothing wrong with them and are just dying to be told they have a problem so they can get time off work and an excuse to do nothing...

    Just being there with something I'm capable of dealing with myself, I can't help but feel like I'm just contributing to the hysteria caused by the medical industry...

    And I know what there going to tell me, just rest it...

    Agreed, well put. I took me screening in agony and vomiting to go to the hospital because I had a kidney stone lol

    I understand there are many who have legitimate issues but these pharmaceutical adds really are just trying to sell drugs...

    I would recommend How Not to Die to everyone, it's a mind blowing book...

    In it, Michael Greger sites a number of studies that were done showing that 98% of specifically antidepressants prescribed in the US are no more effective than a placebo...

    The numbers for people claiming a gluten intolerance are just as bad...

    We are a poisoned population made to feel sick, the food and pharmaceutical industries are a lot more insidious than people give them credit for

    Not to mention their mark-up on product cost to consumers is like 120%

    depends, are you counting the millions of dollars of research behind the pill, or just the cost to make it?

    One time, at a fancy restaurant, the server told me that the ice cream had caraway in it. I'd never heard of it and I assumed she meant cassowary. I was disappointed with dessert.

    Well stated! It’s disgusting how many fraudulent compensation cases there are. This is a tough conversation to have because idealistically I believe in a universal system but the reality is that it’s simply not that simple.

    Yeah I got a little carried away there :lol:

    There's just something fundamentally wrong with the for profit system, but I get it... You get what you pay for

    There's just no watch dog to protect the interest of the people from corruption

    The department store has stopped stocking my favourite shade and brand of eyeliner.

    This is a real problem though, one gets pretty attached to cosmetics!

    I refuse to get USDA Choice meats anymore and buy Prime at Costco because all choice meats suck anymore.
