It's because they contain oils that go rancid relatively quickly, after about 6-8 months in normal storage conditions. The rancid oils often don't even have a detectable flavor (and probably not after the salty seasoning is added) but they have major health risks associated with eating them, and...

I’m a hardcore introvert, and a woman. A couple years ago I had back-to-back bad experiences with two separate professional stylists who were way too pushy with the small talk, and left me feeling like I’d just been interrogated with my hair as a hostage in case my responses were unsatisfactory...

I got my 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday. After the first dose I had almost zero side effects, just a mild irritability the first night (which might have been coincidence). After my second dose I got a bit of a headache and sore lymph nodes in my neck about 7 hours after the shot...

Nice to meet you all. I live in the woods in Montana with my husband and young daughter, in a house we’ve built ourselves. I’ve worked in the laboratory of a local hospital for nearly 10 years, working on everything from compatibility testing for blood transfusions to identifying different types...
