 Cashew isn’t a seed, its closer to a nut.  Technically Its a drupe which is a type of fruit.

Plants have developed clever ways to disseminate their “offspring” and fruits nuts and seeds are vastly different in this regard.   
Oily Fruits like olives & avocados are tasty to get animals to help disperse them.  Nuts are technically fruits so same kinda method. 
Seeds on the other hand are VERY different.  They use toxins to discourage animals from foraging them.  Some Birds have adapted but mammals generally haven’t. 
Manufacturers then use detergents to neutralize and remove the bad tasting toxins (bitter) and they also boil the seeds to reduce the oil out further damaging the oil. Cold pressed flax is good for example but it’s expensive to produce in large quantities so larger companies that need a cheap filler buy things like canola oil instead because its cheap and people don don’t immediately get sick from it.  Its a double whammy though. Firstly its rancid already from heating it AND its got many toxins that cause inflammation. 

No oil is good for you after its been heated past its smoke point but the delicate fats (omega-9) in seeds are damaged from any heat. 

As a general rule cook with omega 3 and as the temperature goes down, use omega 6 and avoid eating a lot of omega 9. 

Heres an example: Smaller quantities of sunflower are okay because they’re loaded with other nutrients and minerals that are hard to get in our diet but don’t heat them, -just eat raw. If the seed came from a fruit like a pumpkin or sesame fruit you’re good to eat more of them just remember that heating them fucks the oil up.

Tldr: 
DO NOT EAT CANOLA OIL. 
Its not food.
Prior to 1991 it was primarily used an industrial lubricant & biodiesel. 
(They renamed it Canola (from Rapeseed) lobbied the FDA (bribed) and started feeding it to  people to save money.

 Cashew milk is great but im Curious What your issue with unsweetened almond milk?  I dont have the label handy but I cut my whole milk with it since I drink so much whey throughout the day.

 Wiki is not a great source these days but even this paints an ugly picture.

 Let me be clear. Its not a “relative” Canola and rapeseed are the EXACT same thing.  They only changed the name because people my age knew it was toxic to eat.  

Eat it or don’t idc,  but its horrible for you. 
 This is just more corporate fuckery.  Not sure if you like or dislike Elon but posting this is just spreading fud about him.  Based on the number of “hit pieces” Ive seen about him since he bought twitter is amazing. Youd think he was bankrupt already. 
 Yeah shes a fucking demon if there ever was.
Nostr grows by leaps and bounds when these fuckers cancel folks.  Let em. 
Google/yt & fb aren’t going to self correct.  They need to just wither away as people embrace parallel platforms that arent controllable.

 You’re very reserved and respectful in your opinions (I could learn a thing or two 🙈)
But if you exclude bitcoin as a topic would you lean more Joe or George on their economic forecast?  George is such a doomer and Joe thinks theres nothing unusual about this election.  The truth is definitely in between but which way would you lean on their extremes? 
 (I replied to tara but that was directed to you:)

 He’s an interesting dude.  
Just looking at him… -you know he’s descending into brilliant madness. 
 Nostr feels a little like Galt's Gulch to me.

For those that didn’t, make sure you  impart this knowledge to the children in your life.  It’s never been more relevant in my lifetime.

You can go a few days with zero food but try that without fresh water and you’re in real trouble.

Put what you like leave out what you dont! 
 Woke garbage. 
This line of thinking is absurd and ultimately will destroy itself because its hateful even to itself.  
In just a few years these broke woke companies will have been replaced with companies that hired on merit.
Cross my fingers im not on an American airline flight with a DEI hire pilot. 😬 
 So what happened? I didn’t love the moderators that replaced Alex so I’m guessing the show just plummeted with downloads?  The mods just leave or did something happen? 
 Originally for me it was a fresh separation from the twitter spaces at the time.  Everyone was yelling and talking on top of one another and bitcoin cafe was a stand out.  I listened every day almost

 Ill take messy. Back to old school mssg boards.  If you don’t like something, just block em. 
 Everyone and their grandmother is talking about “liquidity” now.

Hope you’re old enough to understand that shit.

 Which one should i chose? Alby or primal? 
 Dee is right but what are you trying to do?  
The Primal wallet is great for Nostr. Easy peasy.  
Alby is a bigger feat to get working without a time investment. 
 FEMA not only has $0 to spend, but is BLOCKING rescue missions to save trapped residents.
Wtf
They are truly evil. 
 Does anybody have an invite code for getalby.com? I can't wait for the new Alby lightning wallet.  
 Do a search for those criteria.  I had two people reply back quickly.

While I agree, I notice that everything that people are doing on both sides are an overreaction to compensate for what they feel is a direct attack on their way of life.

You gotta get out of it.  Just leave it behind.

 Just takes time.  MSM is also unsustainable and will be bankrupt but it can’t happen fast enough.
