Marathon Runner Stops to Help Old Man

Marathon runners have a bad rap for being totally consumed in the race, not letting anything or anyone get in the way of their finish time.  And understandably so, they've trained for months and months for race day.  But what happens when an elderly man happens to cross the road in the middle of a marathon?  In the video, above, you'll see runners deliberately going around a man who's slowly making his away across until one considerate racer takes a few seconds to offer his assistance.  A couple passing competitors even clap as he does so.  Such a sweet and simple gesture proves that maybe runners do have hearts of gold — instead of purely focusing on the gold — after all.

Emotional Stages of Shopping at Whole Foods

Every Whole Foods addict knows that their weekly shopping trip is not just a time to stock up on healthy foods — it's a spiritual experience.  There's not many places where health nuts can gather together to obsess over colorful produce and gluten-free desserts without feeling super judged.  If you're one of these organic-loving shoppers, you consider the popular chain The Holy Grail of food stores.  And even though your first trip may have been a little intimidating (who knew that there were so many types of quinoa?), now you're practically the store's biggest advocate.  Sure, you may get a little too excited over perfectly ripened avocado, but hey, Whole Foods is just that good.

That big, beautiful green sign never gets old.

 

2. Deciding between a basket or cart is a true test of commitment.

Who are you kidding?  You’re in this for the long haul!

 

3. Bringing someone to Whole Foods, aka The Happiest Place on Earth for the first time.

Surely they’ll love it just as much as you do and thank you for years to come, right?!

 

4. Spotting free samples in the produce section.

Maybe I should have five or six peach slices, you know, just to make sure that I actually like it ...

 

5. Having to choose between snacks for your wallet’s sake.

Locally grown strawberries or non-GMO apples?  Why do hard decisions happen to good people?!

 

6. Waiting for someone who is taking too long at the scale in the bulk section.

It does not take this long to weigh granola.  It just doesn’t.

 

7. Picking the perfect drink at the juice bar.

Smoothie or juice?  SMOOTHIE OR JUICE?

 

8. Using every ounce of will power to make it to the register without grabbing a sweet treat.

The bakery section is trying to ruin that spinach coconut water smoothie you just drank and you are NOT having it.

 

9. Forgetting how long the checkout line always is.

How are you supposed to wait another minute to dive into those three different flavors of kale chips?!

 

10. Making the mistake of looking at your receipt.

Well, it looks like you’ll have to give up going out with your friends for a month to compensate for that freshly ground almond butter.  #WorthIt

 

11. Walking out of the store ready to cook your heart out.

Until next week, Whole Foods.

Cholos Try Kale Chips and Kombucha Video

Unless you live in Lulu, spend your free hours at SoulCycle, or reside in San Francisco, chances are you have no idea what kale chips and kombucha are.  And even if you are a health nut, we'll wager that these foods were an acquired taste, which is why this video "Cholos Try Kale Chips & Kombucha" is a must watch.  It basically nails what everyone probably thought when they were handed their first bag of crumbly kale chips and sour bottle of kombucha — except it's way funnier.  The hilarious commentary includes things like "This looks like weed ... you're trying to get me arrested" and one of our favorites, "It says 'organic and raw' — I'm organic and raw."  Keep watching to see how the kombucha and kale chips fared, while we keep hoping that every food review could be this funny and honest.
