Nuts to you!

I bought a bunch of fudge when I was in Seattle last week, several kinds, one was a maple fudge, it is delicious but has one problem that reduces my enjoyment.
It has walnuts in it.

I do not get the obsession with putting nuts in everything, ice cream, brownies, cake, fudge, candy bars, anywhere we have a dessert that is supposed to be creamy and delicious, someone has to go ruining it by putting tasteless hunks of nuts in it. It's a texture thing for me mostly, I mean I don't get any fun out of their flavor either, but I don't hate it at the same time, but texture is something that just puts me right off.
Now I know I apparently am in the minority here given the amount of nuts in products everywhere, so I guess I can accept that I am the freak, but disliking nuts is also ecologically friendly.

It takes a shitload of water to grow walnuts, or any nuts really, and they happen to be grown quite heavily in California, which also happens to be in the middle of one of the heaviest droughts in history, and it isn't really letting up it appears. But because Americans can't get enough of the damn things then the problem isn't going to go away.

Anyway, having justified my dislike for the item on both personal, and ecological grounds, I go to bed with a deserved feeling of superiority over you nut eaters.

The only nuts I tolerate? Deez Nuts.
