• PS, where do you think fruit flies come from? Why do you think non-domestic fruits are either heat treated OR irradiated? Because flies off all sorts lay eggs in side of them. Fruit flies don't randomly show up, they come from the fruit. They hatch,…

• Megan, relax. Let all of those emotions and fears just roll off of you. Why fear when you can be fearless? Accept that accidents happen and be prepared for the best day of your life. You will thank yourself later...

• ungrateful- You have the gist of it, but it’s not that we don’t eat until we are “really” hungry, we don’t eat until we are truly hungry. Appetite and hunger are very different. I usually don’t wait until true hunger kicks in to the fullest, I only …
