It looks like I'm going to get a refund of a month's rent on the shed, plus the security deposit. Mama's buying new knitting looms. And some yarn.

I love cashews, so I would love that, if it were so, but I strongly suspect that it is not.(possibly, that is a "kernel of truth" deal wherein some science writer might have written "has mood-boosting properties & minor stress-fighters. Eat some when you're depressed." And some producer "heard" "The Superfood That KOs depression!1" because that puts butts in the seats. And, yes, Dr. Oz has won awards for his work as a thoracic surgeon before being bitch-slapped by Claire McCaskill in possibly my favorite Congressional footage not starring Alan Grayson. (I'm not immune to woo. I took St. John's Wort for a while...I think it helped) It makes me sad when people sell out that much, although I just think that the people in Oz's audience should get a hivemind instead.

And I thought, "REALLY? This is the best time to do this?"

Sounds like a Mormon funeral. Lots of "You must be a member of the church in good standing before you can be reunited in the Celestial Kingdom." There are three layers of Heaven, by the way. Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial. Celestial is the gated neighborhood, Terrestrial is the boring suburbs, and Telestial is The Other Side of the Tracks.

Some people can't think of anything without levels. Kind of seems like a drag to me, but it's all in what you know, I guess.

I can't think of the world without thinking of the infinite levels of giant turtles that hold it up.

Do a google on almost any food x, and "x the world's healthiest food" "or x a healthy food" something along those lines will be in the result set. Chocolate [link] . Lard "Top three reasons you should be eating lard" [link]

I don't think there is any food out there where a google search won't turn up a description as a health food in the top 30 results.

Turtles all the way down!

That makes a lot of sense. Crowdsourcing vs proof by authority.

Well there are exceptions like twinkies but still I think the above is true for about 95% of food items.

Sure. My point is, the "Cashews: World's Healthiest Food" site does not mention curing clinical depression.

Did the Great Twinkie Crisis get taken care of? Speaking of.
