1043: Thongs, Bananas, & Longevity

Show Notes

We’re not blowing our whistles anymore, but if we were we would do it about thong underwear. Susie used to swear up and down that they were her preferred cut, but now she says that wasn’t true. And she has a way to find out whether you think they’re the most comfortable underwear as well. We discuss the problem with American bananas, and why a monocrop could lead to losing them altogether. Susie explains why produce can’t compete with junk food. Sarah describes a study where people have to name the things they would give up to live ten years longer, and why Susie would be happy to give up any of them.
