Nuts Followed Humanity To Civilization

http://www.nda.agric.za/docs/cashews/cashew.htm



I'm sure they did, heh...

Anyways, this is just about cashew nuts and apples.

I have never seen a cashew "apple" (that's what cashew nuts "emerge" from) 
and thought it interesting what it had to say about them and wondered why I 
can't get them in my local American Super Market:

"The cashew apple contains five times more vitamin C than an orange and 
contains more calcium, iron and vitamin B1 than other fruit such as citrus, 
avocados and bananas."

"Cashew is an excellent choice to grow around the house as a shade tree 
with healthy fruit (apple) and nuts."

(CheeseNote:  They are "supposed" to only put out nuts if the minimum 
weather area never goes below 7 degrees Celsius or 44 degrees Farenheit)

"Nuts determined the eating habits of prehistoric people. Along with 
berries and brook water, nuts followed humanity to civilisation. Cashew 
nuts are packed with proteins, fats and vitamins to a high degree."

"Proteins, the tissue builders in our system, constitutes a large 
proportion of cashew contents. The cashew kernel contains 21 % of vegetable 
protein. Nutritionally they stand on a par with milk, eggs and meat. It 
also contains a high concentration of much-needed amino acids."

(CheeseNote:  *Most* meat eaters aren't actually in the possession of such 
trivial facts like that, which is one of the many reasons they continue on 
with their kneejerk reactions toward their continuing indoctrination)

Ah, well...  It's nice to remember the good old days of gathering various 
things from the bushes, fields, and trees.

If those were the only nuts that had followed us to civilization we'd most 
likely be doing just fine right about now.




"Uncle Cheeseburger..........!!"

"Yes, kids..."

"What's a nut....??"

"A nut grows on trees and you eat it..."

"Yeah, but you keep talking like some people are nuts, Uncle Cheeseburger...!!"

"Well, yes, kids, some people are nuts..."

"Are you a nut, Uncle Cheeseburger.....??!!"

"No, no, I'm not, kids...."

"Are we nuts, Uncle Cheeseburger....!!??"

"Well...  Well, yes, one of you is a nut, but one of you is not a nut..."

"Which one of us is a nut, Uncle Cheeseburger.......!?!?"

"Well, I'm not going to tell you...  You'll just have to figure that out 
for yourselves..."

The children turn and stare at each other, then they turn and just stare at 
Cheeseburger.

"Why won't you tell us, Uncle Cheeseburger......??!!"

"You'll just have to figure that out also....."

"Ok, Uncle Cheeseburger......."

"Allright, now go to sleep and dream happy thoughts..."

"But you never told us which kind of nut followed us to civilization, Uncle 
Cheeseburger.....!!"

"Both kinds did, kids.  Now go to sleep and dream happy thoughts..."

"We will, Uncle Cheeseburger......."

Click.

The children lay in the darkness staring at the ceiling.

"Do you think Uncle Cheeseburger is a nut...?" one whispered.

"Yes, I do...   Do you...?"

"Yes, I do too..."

"Do you think one of us is really a nut...?"

"I don't know..."

"Why wouldn't Uncle Cheeseburger tell us which one of us is a nut...?"

"I think it's Classified..."

"Oh...  Ok..."

"Do you think nuts *really* followed us to civilization...?"

"I don't know...  Do you...?"

"I don't know either...."

"I'm hungry...."

"Me too..."

"What are you hungry for...?"

"Ice Cream..!!" they both whisper excitedly hugging each other.

They lay back down in the bed and stare at the ceiling again.

They both know that they have neither ice cream nor cashews.

"We could eat the cricket....!!" one whispers.

"Go to sleep and don't act like a nut..."

"Ok..."

"Night......."

"Night..........."

They close their eyes, no longer noticing the sounds of warfare in the 
background of the night.

"Do you think I'm a nut...?" one finally whispers.

"No, I don't think you're a nut..."

"I don't think you're a nut either..."

They close their eyes again.

"You wouldn't really eat the cricket, would you...?"

"No, I won't eat the cricket, I promise..."

"Ok..."

"Night....."

"Night......."

The ancient tales of Willy Wonka that Uncle Cheeseburger read to them 
dances through their heads all through the night.

The cricket begins to softly chirp in its cage.......
