almond
An almond is a tiny hardened bomb masquerading as health food. With each bite, it whispers "good for you" while your heart shamelessly surrenders to the sweet seduction of salt and oil. Paraded as a shield for beauty and youth, it becomes a slave to cravings on the slightest whim. In its raw form it’s a badge of longevity; roasted, it splendidly transforms into an emblem of contradiction. Its noble appearance serves as an alibi for rough seasoning, making it a cunning swindler of health zealots.
