Summary

Paul talks to Cheryl about organic bananas.

Cheryl reports that someone in the store was questioning why she would spend extra on organic bananas.

Paul has become anti-banana because regular bananas get sprayed with toxic gick, which would be a good reason to buy organic.

He goes on to explain his theory that non-organic food is a cunning plan to get rid of old people faster so they don't have to pay pensions.

He also wonders how many banana executives eat the bananas they sell.

Paul would much rather apples than bananas; he's upset that bananas cost less than apples in the grocery store.

Cheryl lists things about her garden and her lifestyle which stand out where she lives, as her garden is for growing food; the neighbors think it's weird.  Paul understands, he has the same issues when trying to talk about gardening.

Cheryl would like to raise rabbits, but the rabbit she bought has become a pet.  Paul feels that wouldn't be an issue if there were 20 rabbits.

Foraging is another issue which the neighbors look sideways at.

The next point is sewing her own clothes, rather than buying them in the store.

Finally they drift off into talking about homesteading vs boot camp, and how "the system" is failing.
