DC Tom Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Oh, I'm sorry Diamond Walnuts, the correct answer was "As a natural product, medically walnuts would be considered not a drug but a naturopathic remedy, and under federal law covering alternative remedies are not subject to FDA regulation as a medical drug." Not that the law makes any sense, either...but it is the law, and the FDA's bound by it. But even beyond that, the FDA's out of it's !@#$ing gourd on this one. "Making claims" does not make food a medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I guess I didn't realize walnuts were that good for you. I'm gonna ask my doctor to write me a prescription for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks a lot guys. Not many of you know but I am a recovering addict. Now I'm craving a can of honey roasted peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks a lot guys. Not many of you know but I am a recovering addict. Now I'm craving a can of honey roasted peanuts. I had a friend once who was hooked on honey-roasted peanuts. He insisted he wasn't an addict, he could stop any time, it was perfectly harmless, certainly less so than other legal legumes like soy or string beans, and never caused him any impairment. Then he did an entire jar of Planters Gold one day, and got hit by a truck one day running a red light on his bicycle. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 And yet the nut companies are STILL allowed to shamelessly use cartoon characters to entice children to try their products. Why isn't Congress doing something??? Think of all the good uses the government could come up with if they got a settlement from Big Nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 You guys can joke about this all you want. I kicked my pistachio habit a couple years ago and it was the most difficult experience of my life. Delirium tremors and all the rest. I tried using lentils as a sort of methodone, but it was no good. I still have to close my eyes and plug my nose every time I pass through the bulk section at Wegman's. Addiction is hell.
