So some dude got sent to the hospital with cyanide poisoning because he was eating cherries and decided, for some fucking reason, to crack the pits open and eat the meat inside.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think nothin\u2019 of it. Thought it was just a seed.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDeep breath\u201d<\/p>\n

I SWEAR TO THE FUCKIN GODS\u2026..<\/i><\/p>\n

(cue 25 minutes of unintelligible\u00a0yelling)<\/i><\/p>\n

\u2026.and that is why being separated\u00a0from our food\u2019s origins and not knowing anything about botany is what is wrong with the world today goddamnit.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I bet some people would eat castor beans too. Or yew. Or just fuckin\u2019 snack on some hemlock because it\u2019s natural, <\/i>man.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fucking incredible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

LIKE IT TAKES SOME FUCKING EFFORT TO GET A CHERRY PIT OPEN FUCKING W H Y<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Question: Is it the same with plums? I used to do that occasionally when I ate dried and seasoned Asian plums as a kid.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plum pits do not contain as much as cherry, but they do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do not eat stone fruit pits, people. Or bitter almonds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They all have cyanide in them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oh boy, apricot kernels. The amount of people I see lauding those as a\u00a0\u201ccure for cancer\u201d is\u2026 demoralizing. I can\u2019t find it right now but I believe there was a mother in the past few years who was taken to court for child endangerment\/neglect for feeding those to her very young child as a cancer treatment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I saw this horror last year, and yelled for an entire hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To be fair, I bet if you die of cyanide poisoning the cancer won\u2019t kill you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I have been wanting to use these photos for months.<\/p>\n

The recommendation is to only eat 3 in one hour. because that is just the most filling snack and of course they will stop at three.<\/p>\n

But then they say DON\u2019T EAT MORE THEN 10 A DAY.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not even FDA approved. \u201cmay be toxic\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just because it\u2019s natural doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s good for you.<\/p>\n

Just because it\u2019s food for another creature doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s fine for you.<\/p>\n

Best case scenario it\u2019s like grass which is basically neutral- it\u2019s generally not going to kill you but there\u2019s no nutrition for humans in it, and enough will probably make you sick.<\/p>\n

Worst case scenario it\u2019s something like belladonna berries which taste sweet but will kill you stone cold dead. <\/p>\n

Same for the wrong kind of mushrooms, other berries, leaves and barks. Before consuming, CHECK. If you can\u2019t check, don\u2019t put it in your mouth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just because it\u2019s natural doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s good for you.<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been saying this for so long, oh my gosh.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
