Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I suspect Big Cashew.
I live in the heart of Big Almond, so I would believe that.
(It is a STUPID place for a person who is allergic to almonds to live. I know. I own my stupidity in this matter.)
I am SO grateful to Big Pharma for making a pill that actually helps when I think "I have a problem with my brain being missing". FTR
Now you all are making me hungry! I had a lunch mishap- as you may remember I can order food online from the cafeteria and have it delivered. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza and a salad.
I got a salad, with pepperoni.
I sent it back, but now I have to go find some food. I would have eaten it, but I was being charge $2.50 for the pepperoni.
The delivery person said she wasn't sure, and she asked her manager, and they both thought that's what the order meant (I guess it just comes up 1 pepperoni, 1 salad in their system). In addition, in the system there is actually no way to order anything extra on any salad or put in notes, so the manager wasn't really on the ball either.
Oy, Sophia, what a bummer!
How obnoxious and weird, Sophia!
only now you're free of the iron grip of Big Pharma!
But in the grip of Big Cashew! And you know where cashews are from? OTHER COUNTRIES. Clearly terrorists have told her these lies about cashews, hoping to take over the brains of the American consumer...
I thought I'd heard all the woo, but cashews = antidepressants is a new one to me. Maybe cashews naturally contain fluoxetine, like morning glories naturally contain LSD!
JZ, your rant was epic. The Papist line made me choke on Mountain Dew.
BTW, I cam across a website titled "Cashews: The World's Healthiest FOod" that makes no mention of anti-depressant benefits. You'd think they'd include that.
Big Pharma makes then censor that.
I keep looking for Like buttons. Oh, the power of Big Facebook!
Score! Another department had a potluck today and I am scavenging their leftovers for lunch (although, really, my cheesecake and eggs would probably have been enough). Had to try the Lay's Bacon Mac & Cheese potato chips - tasty, but not, to my mind, significantly different from BBQ potato chips. I would actually like to try the cappuccino flavor.
Zen, if you Google cashews +prozac you'll see it in all its awfulness, but I'd recommend against it, because most of the websites peddling it are also excruciatingly badly designed. But, basically, cashews have a lot of tryptophan, and tryptophan gets processed by the body into serotonin, so clearly it's Nature's Prozac. I think I lost eight IQ points just reading the first three links (or possibly it's the blinky-e-coupon-for-survivalcavefood-MEAT-induced headache).
