so i found out why pecans are so expensive. It’s damn Chinese people’s fault. Apparently, in the year 2006 they didn't import any pecans, and didn't grow any either. but since then they have developed a taste/craze for pecans, and it’s sweeping the nation like gluten-free is here. pecans you see, cure everything and are amazing for all aspects of your health, including stopping alzheimer's, and basically the only place that makes them is the american south. so it’s gone from 3/pound just 5 years ago to 10/pound now. and I'm sure it will just continue to go up.
i fully support american troops being dedicated to fixing this situation
