Hey Guys I just wanna share a little story, how I lost faith in humanity. Today, while grocery shopping I overheard a conversation about nuts. You know, walnuts. The local supermarket sells those in pound packages, one sort is brand-name, the other is not. The conversation (it was an elderly couple) went as such: He: "let's get some walnuts" - grabs the non-branded pack -she takes both the branded and non-branded packs, compares the nutrition-facts on the bag, puts the non-branded back and takes the brand - "yes, but we take these, the others will make you too fat." Sounds, normal, eh? The problem? We are talking about non-processed nuts, still in their hull and (I checked afterwards) from the same place of origin, which means grown at the same "farm/plantation". The only difference is packaging At this point I'm not sure whats worse, the people who scam by engeneering the nutrition-facts or those who believe in them. But maybe I missed something, anybody got an idea if there is any sane reason for the differences?
Even if there isn't a difference, why only now have you lost faith in humanity? It's not like brand-name propaganda is a new up-and-coming idea... this has been around since forever
this reminds me of a thread that happened where a guy lost faith in humanity becauase someone didnt return his wallet. see that was a reason to do with him at least. this is you whining
I lost my faith in humanity years ago when i see people jay walking across the street (at nighttime its the worse), and people not SIGNALLING when they switch lanes or turn. Like.. seriously people you're not getting anywhere faster by not being safe. Thank god you got to the light 30 seconds ahead of someone else.
The odd thing here is, my faith in humanity was just lost because you lost your faith in humanity over something so obvious, yet so pointless. Yet as I say this, I am forced to acknowledge that losing my faith in humanity over your petty way of losing faith in humanity is even more petty, and as such I apologize if this causes anyone else to lose their faith in humanity.
selling non-processed nuts, this travesty. if any of you want good, healthy, and processed nuts i can provide a sufficient amount for you all.
well... there is ton of info lacking in this case... i have lost my faith in humanity a long time ago but i still have faith in individuals and japan =P
Old people can get triggered by anything. This shouldn't be enough to make you lose your faith in humanity. I thought it was going to end with people physically fighting over which brand of walnuts
Really?? Human are like cockroaches, even if you lost faith in them they won't die off. They'll struggle and show real personality at times it's needed.
most farm product have standarts, differnet size fall in different values etc, so that can be one reason.,And the brand company only sell A raring product, while the farmer try to sell B rated producted that didn't make the cut,That he isn't paid for, to try gain some profit but the reason that they make you fat, nope, 1kg of anything is 1kg so long as they are the same fruit it should be almost the same composition. next point should they choose the no-brand ones if they make you fat(more nutrious) so you can have the same nutrition with less ah the stupidity of some people
