evilmadscientist.com — "Ever since we discovered them, we have been enjoying (and eating far too many of) the highly addictive Thai Lime & Chili Cashews from Trader Joe's. These things should carry a warning label: "CAUTION: MAY BE HABIT FORMING.""

I always found the fruit very under-whelming. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't good. It was free and plentiful where I lived and I rarely saw people eating it. Side note to the whole cashew discussion. There really needs to be some kind of Fair Trade Cashews. The whole industry is shady. Farmers only get about ten cents a pound for the unprocessed nut. And apparently the middlemen run the industry like mobsters.

I heard about the truth of cashew nuts a while back, interesting stuff. I guess if you don't come across the actual thing and just the processed outcome you never find out where it comes from. That really says something about the way buy stuff today, if it comes off the shelf pre packaged we just assume it got their the way that we assume it did if that makes sense.

"You can't buy macadamia nuts in a shell, either."Try looking somewhere other than Wal-Mart.

Those poor Indians, they should work in a Chinese factory to churn out iPods.

Sorry, now re-reading this, I realised that I was indeed a bit harsh and ignorant myself. What I meant to say was that "the world we live in today, with all the consumerism and packaging etc, sort of removes us from the reality of things, we no longer understand/know where things come from, we simply get them in packages, eventually we will lose our ability to 'hunt and gather', if it's not already lost"....that's all...cheers.
