Banana Spiel

Bananas are famously high in potassium, vitamin B6, and a decent hit of fiber — good for your heart, your nerves, your digestion. They're also slang for an Asian person raised white, which, having grown up as a Korean in Australia, is a nutritional profile I happen to share.

"Spiel," meanwhile, is an old word for a fast, practiced pitch — the kind of talk a salesman gives when he wants you to buy something you didn't know you needed.

Put it together and you get a well-balanced source of vitamin B and unsolicited Spiel I call BS. I write about whatever occupied my brain that week and say what I think about it, no prescription required.

None of it is expert opinion, and none of it should change your life. I don't do verdicts, I don't do advice. If something here makes you think, that's a bonus; if it makes you laugh at how confidently wrong I am, that's also a bonus. Life's serious enough on its own — this corner of the internet doesn't need to be.
