Have you ever heard the expression, “You’re nuts?” This phrase has been around since the beginning of time, and has given nuts a negative name. The denotation of the word is a fruit consisting of a hard or tough shell around an edible kernel. This dictionary definition has evolved into the everyday connotation of dreadful, ever since the cavemen attempted to eat the foul substance. Nuts have caused the world to go nuts.

To fully understand the ugliness of the nut we must go back to the beginning. According to theological evidence from the Arctic Garguats, the stars show that the nut was made to punish the humans for their ignorant behavior. The edible fruit was placed here under the gods’ power to punish humans for their idiocy. Simply, ancient theology states the nut made the human race nuts.

Fast-forward to the 21st century, and we can see one alarming aspect of the nut in human disease. The nut causes diabetes. According to Dr. Doofenshmirtz, the high sodium content in current day nuts always for the sugar levels in our digestive system to lower drastically. Our body then must counteract these falling sugar levels by pumping insulin into our blood. Overtime, this extra work to produce insulin causes the body to lack the needed sugar to maintain balance in the system leading to the development of diabetes. Diabetes is a very common disease in present day, obese America, and nuts aren’t helping to stop it.

Nuts also contribute to the filling of our landfills. Do you ever wonder what happens to the shells of nuts? Nutshells are the most common waste products of any edible material on the planet. Shells fill our landfills, collect next to curbs, and damage the beauty of our earth. Imagine that you go to one of America’s beautiful national parks, and are admiring the crystal clear water teeming of wildlife with the colorful rainbow trout, cute tadpoles, and vibrant aquatic plants when a floating peanut shell coming down the river destroys the beauty. America would be a more breathtaking place with the absence of nutshells.

Nuts are ruining the world, as we know it. Peanuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, and the rest of the tree nuts are the worst creation on this green earth. Nuts have a negative reputation in the English language, cause diabetes, and ruin the natural beauty of not only America, but also the whole world. Also, people are allergic to nuts leading to rashes, hives, irritation, swelling, and even death. If we want to aid the world, we must eliminate the nut to extinction, and create a joyful, nut-free environment for all living creatures.
