Seriously, gently caress that poo poo. It should be completely banned from sale, along with bitter almonds, a special subspecies of almonds. Both contain a serious concentration of the cyanide compound amygdalin.

It's been sold by rear end in a top hat quacks since the 19th century, under the name 'laetrile' or 'vitamin b17'. Vitamin b17 is not an official name, because vitamins are nutrients you require to survive, while amygdalin is purely toxic and has no positive qualities whatsoever.
This bag is also made by quacks because it has the 'vitamin b17' name on it. At least they took the effort to warn you about the dangers, usually they don't even bother.

This crap is being sold as a supposed cancer medicine, they say that if you take this the cyanide kills the cancer cells or something, so you don't need actual treatment anymore (which is technically true, dead people need no treatment). When my mom was suffering from cancer some shitstain convinced my parents that this crap works against cancer and they both started taking a spoonful a day (my dad for 'preventive' reasons). It took me a crazy amount of work to convince them that stuff is dangerous and to stop taking it, and even now it seems my dad isn't completely convinced it isn't good for you.

I don't really care that much if quacks sell expensive magic water as a panacea. It's annoying but they don't really hurt people with it. However, amygdalin is actively harmful and I consider people selling this crap murderers, and seriously think the law should treat them as such.


Yes. Yes, I have strong feelings about this. I think they are justified in this case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdalin

quote:

The promotion of laetrile to treat cancer has been described in the medical literature as a canonical example of quackery,[2][3] and as "the slickest, most sophisticated, and certainly the most remunerative cancer quack promotion in medical history."[1]

I need you to wear this. I need you to wear this all the time. It's office policy.
So WholeFoods stocks literal poison made up to look like health food. uhhh.... This means hundreds of people in and out of the government didn't do/aren't doing their jobs, so surely it'll be a really, really really big deal and Sunfoods will get torn the gently caress apart and its constituent members removed from society, right? Along with everyone else responsible for making Painful Death available for $11.99.

This is like precisely the crime that the stocks should be reserved for - selling poison to the public by claiming that it's the opposite of poison. That is like the ultimate "everyone gets to throw poo poo at you" offense.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apricot_kernel

quote:

In 1993, the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets tested the cyanide content of two 220 gram (8 oz) packages of bitter apricot kernels imported from Pakistan that were being sold in health-food stores as a snack. The results showed that each package, if consumed entirely, contained at least double the minimum lethal dosage of cyanide for an adult human. The apricot pits were recalled and removed from stores.[3] There was one reported case in the medical literature of cyanide toxicity from apricot kernels from 1979 to 1998 in the United States.[

Someone tweet/message/call whole foods and ask why this is being sold

I can't see the size of the package but I can see b17 being advertised on the front...

It seems like that warning should really be on the front of the package. It doesn't need to be size 60 font and bright red letters, but it should be a hell of a lot clearer that "Hey guys don't eat more than 7 of these for the love of God"

My favorite NASCAR fight: Denny Hamlin vs. Danica Patrick last year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUA5fpDTPnY

To be fair, she's a bit quick to pick a fight, but his response stinks of MRA-style bullshit -- the Dutch tilt makes it less obvious, but she's 5'2" and he's 6' and half again her weight. And he blames her for what was obviously his fault instead of apologizing, puts his hand on her shoulders WAY more than is normally acceptable, etc.. And then Tony Stewart, her boss, one of the biggest names in the sport, who is very good at loving people over the way Denny did badly to Danica, and has literally killed a man on the track, just loving apparates out of the crowd and challenges Denny to a fight, reducing the kid to a stuttering mess.

The proper response from Hamlin when she grabbed him by the lapels would've been to back away, hands up by his ears obviously not touching her, and say "Oh poo poo Dani I'm sorry, it was an accident, my fault, it won't happen again". Because as it is, if it happens again, he'll probably get a helmet through his windshield next lap.

If they hadn't just completely destroyed a quarter-million dollars' worth of racecars, I'd accuse them of scripted kayfabe like in wrasslin', their suits are perfectly contrasting colors (just like the guys in the thing I quoted, interestingly.)

Also lol fat Michael Caine-lookin' reporter there obviously uncomfortable with how many other reporters are touching him to get their mics in :v:

Edit: the actual insult that prompted the argument:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB27HH9S2_k
Yeah, you don't do that in NASCAR. Getting too close on the left rear at 200mph screws up the lead car's aero, and does basically the same thing as a PIT maneuver. She's justified in shaking him by the lapels and yelling "WTF WERE YOU THINKING?" It's a thing that happens, like the announcers said, if Hamlin had backed off the guy behind him would've hit him. But trying to say it was her fault the second time he'd done it that weekend is kind of a dick move.

The singer making that face when rewatching her own lovely music video that went viral and gave her a career? "Ooh, I made Poor Life Decisions."

Also, if you actually like that song something is wrong with you, because she obviously is in pain watching it.

She's a 15?-16? year old girl that is embarrased about something that she did when she was 12. Also the producer on the track (the guy that's on screen there, I don't remember his name) comes across as a bit of a creep and a weirdo.
