Seen any walnuts in your medicine cabinet lately? According to the Food and Drug Administration, that is precisely where you should find them. Because Diamond Foods made truthful claims about the health benefits of consuming walnuts that the FDA didn’t approve, it sent the company a letter declaring, “Your walnut products are drugs” — and “new drugs” at that — and, therefore, “they may not legally be marketed … in the United States without an approved new drug application.” The agency even threatened Diamond with “seizure” if it failed to comply.
First pizza is a vegetable, now nuts are a drug.
resisting the urge to make a “well that would explain why my nuts are so addictive” joke even though i kinda just did anyway OH WELL
god bless america

Wait hold on
the country with the right priorities
Yes, this is all very silly, but what exactly would you rather the Food and Drug Administration be working on?
To stop sucking the dick of the pharmaceutical corporations, for one thing.
So….can I OD on walnuts?
Ugh this is so bad, just so bad. I mean just look at the website in the OP link and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Congress didn’t say pizza was a vegetable either.
