There's also something weird about the belief that telling me the story of my food's preparation will make me like it more. Things live and die, and then someone processes them into edible portions. This is a complete telling of the story, "Food." The basic plot hasn't changed for centuries. I shouldn't need to know any more details, any more history, in order to decide if my food tastes good or not.

"We're a fashion and basics business. We can't do what we do without fashion. The Gap point of view is that if we don't change the style, the business will get stale." You'll see the change in the form...
...basic lessons, however, do emerge. At the top of the list: a second opinion should include a second physical examination and a review of the original pathology slides and other tests, if any. Otherwise, the second doctor is assuming that the first doctor's diagnosis is correct...
