Nutty

I was just snacking on a tin of onion & garlic flavored almonds, when I looked at the side of the can and noticed a little tidbit bubble that said: "One serving per day may be healthy for your heart."

I find this information vaguely unsettling. One serving per day may be healthy for my heart? Maybe I'm just a glass half empty kind of guy, but what I infer from that statement is that one serving per day also may not be healthy for my heart.

Hasn't there been enough research done on nuts to determine if they're good for you or not? And in what quantities? I'll tell you what, if the makers of the almonds can't even definitively say that their product is healthy, it probably isn't. It's kind of like a drug dealer saying "Come on man, one line of cocaine a day might actually be good for you. You never know. Just buy the shit."

I don't know about you, but if I went to a doctor and he prescribed me pills and said "This might be beneficial to your health," I'm finding a new doctor.

  1. Conversely, if I met a hot girl and she said "If you take me home, I might sleep with you," I would definitely do it.

  2. Yeah, but what if she said "Sleeping with me may (or may not) be healthy for you"?

  3. Right on about the doctor. However, regarding nuts, I would blow caution to the wind and if you feel like a nut, have one or a few!
