“Keto, schmeto,” says whoever recently decided to market a pillow on Amazon which is shaped like a large loaf of bread. On the list of things you may never need in your life but are somewhat curious about, this pillow probably has its spot earmarked.

Now ask yourself, “Do I knead these things in my life?”
