radiation workers practice ALARA, which is an acronym for "as low as reasonably achievable".

Nothing wrong with eating bananas, but I wouldn't want to eat 20 a day for all sorts of reasons.

I have a friend who was course VI at MIT but also a serious (chemical free) bodybuilder. He told me the story of working summers at a gym and he saw this one guy eating a large number of bananas as he trained. I don't know the number, but it was large enough that it was clearly going to be based on some serious bro science.

So my friend asks for the explanation. Guy asks him "what's the strongest animal?"

The answer (which I would dispute) was 'the gorilla'

"And what do gorillas eat?"
