I’m embracing my thoughts. It’s a whole new world and I’m the carpet AND Jasmine. And Aladdin? Hmm. AND the monkey! Yay! Who is the tiger?

Anyway, I’m letting it all flow free and seed is what I woke up curious about. I’m collecting seed, but I don’t know much about it. Here is a fine mind ramble from Gamble that may come in handy later. It also may just scare/confuse you/me, so if you want to read something more sane, skip to the photo caption below. Also, many of these questions probably have answers. I was just having fun relishing in wonder this morning…

• Seeds have protein, so wouldn’t strawberries have a bit of protein?
• Is the protein in a banana in the seeds or the meat?
• What do you call the banana part of a banana? Other than banana? Or meat?
• What makes us eat certain seeds and not others? Cashews (big) vs. lemon seeds (smaller), I’d think we’d eat the smaller one… Is it just taste? Or texture? Or some other biological reason?
• Many seeds are designed for animals to eat, travel around with in their belly, and poop out later to spread the seed. Some scientists think avocados were designed for bigger animals to eat, digest, and poop out the seed. Does that mean I am really over-stepping my boundaries as a small person every time I eat one?
• Do all seeds have tannins like an avocado seed?
• How come those large animals could process avocado seeds while to some smaller animals, avocado seeds are toxic?
• When we chew seeds, doesn’t that kill their chance of survival?
• And doesn’t that go against this idea of ingestion for poop seed sowing?
• Is that why seeds and beans are harder for humans to digest?
• Because chewed seeds are stickin’ it to the man?
• Are you upset by that bad joke? Is that a joke?
• I heard that when flax seed is eaten whole, we don’t get its full nutrients so its better to eat ground flax seed. But we end up chewing it when it’s whole, so what’s the difference?
• But it’s true that when I eat whole flax seeds, so many end up in my poop fully intact. Seems like that would be good for them- why wouldn’t the flax seeds make that option appealing to us nutritionally?

• Nuts, seeds, beans, peas, and legumes are all seeds. Why do we call them different names?
