00:00do you never want to eat cashews again i just ate them yesterday what is wrong because if i
00:13play this you won't i think oh i'm eating it's worse than my itchy butt worse than your it was
00:19that was bad it's bad i just had chocolate covered it doesn't matter what you say there's nothing i
00:25can say i'll still eat them because i i forget everything once i leave here that's true i do
00:30okay well never forget my itchy butt lisa well i try to forget about that yeah we all do um do you
00:37would it would it hurt you to know how they're made basically disfigures people no i don't care
00:46about you don't you don't care about i mean we'll be disfiguring people to reset the air conditioning
00:52so what's the difference yeah right um are you talking all cashews or is this just a particular
00:58no this is all yeah this is probably all of them i'll let this is a little bit of a documentary
01:02on how cashews are actually there's a cashew documentary yes lisa there is look at this
01:06what's next what's the next nut they're gonna do a documentary let's see if we can uh
01:11are in high demand but at the other side of the world this little nut has become a nightmare
01:18for thousands of women it's gonna happen india is the world's top cashew producer in tamil nadu
01:24state thousands of trees populate vast plantations the nut itself is found on the bottom of this
01:31yellow fruit it twists off easily but the real work is only getting started dozens of processing
01:39facilities in the region supply mostly european and american customers this factory owner's son
01:45oversees 150 employees all of them women to start they use a machine to cut the nose it's gonna be
01:53like this yeah i mean their speed is impressive and it has to be i can't they're paid by volume
01:59just get to work to six euros per day they have to start early in the morning this guy runs a tight
02:05ship there is no stipulated uh fixed salary for them the rest of the work is even harder and it's done entirely by hand the shell and the skin of the nut are difficult to remove just one just one just one just one just one i didn't see this in the barbie movie
02:21in the barbie movie
02:24what
02:28at a nearby cooperative women also sort nuts by hand they're self-employed and earn even less
02:35selling their products to wholesalers two or three years per day on average here too their hands are
02:42badly damaged by acids in the nuts these liquids were constantly touching all day
02:49burn our fingers and turn them black they say gloves slow them down too much
02:55and quickly rip as well
02:57hold on what's the problem i have to have a talk with you yes lisa go ahead are you you're so dark these days
03:03no i'm not you're so dark yes he is he's like he's dark not at all i want to show you the inner workings of the indian factories where cashews are made i watched this all weekend
03:17several of uh amber's cousins are afflicted with these fingers of death
03:25what's going on there's an acid inside of cashews that you've never heard of
03:31no i knew okay i had always heard that they were poisonous um but i didn't realize they were
03:37at the same time though you could wear gloves no they just said it slows them down so they don't make
03:44enough money no well what we need to do is change the cashew companies to not burn
03:52little indian ladies hands can you eat cashews oh yeah yeah you can but they're really not one of my
03:57favorites if i'm going to be honest okay that makes sense yeah i don't want to destroy your cashew lives
04:04let's find the dark side i'm fine i don't i mean there's a lot worse we're starting the day off
04:09seeing how we could deep dive into a lot of things are made yeah you want to deep dive into this little
04:14phone this is i didn't know first of all how the process went i was like oh interesting and then i'm
04:20like oh my god it destroys now this is the thing because it does it it starts like something i could
04:26see dave watching a lot of which is like uh how it's made type of show for sure it's like look how it's
04:32made look at how they do it and then they show these blackened fingers of death and you know i
04:40was just i listen i like to be educated i like to learn and i i didn't know this no and this guy
04:48here the guy who the son of the factory owner who just whips these ladies into shape every day
04:54yeah of course it's women yeah we're on cashews right now it is who knew if they don't make your
04:59butt itchy think about the women's fingers yeah look at that they really bad news on cashews yeah
05:07that's the other nuts i think the other nuts have gotten together and they're like
05:11let's take down cashews you know have we exposed the ladies fingers yet
05:16they're like no we're waiting yeah big almond that's getting this out of there exactly right
05:20that's not even close it's not even really a close i mean almond with chocolate on it is okay
05:25well wouldn't okay wouldn't almonds be like the next biggest nut i think so i think they are but
05:30like realistically taste wise i feel like plain cashews are better than like a salted almond
05:40a cashew is better but then a chocolate covered almond is superior to everything nothing beats that
05:45except no except a hot cinnamon pecan oh yeah look at how those are made dave they arrive on western
05:55shelf here we go sorry i thought we were in for a little more yeah no no i think we get it yeah i'd like
06:02to know how long you have to go before your fingers are like you know eaten by the acid yeah like
06:11again green we'll have to do more of a deep dive into a documentary yeah it is too bad though that
06:17they the only way to you know make enough money is to not wear the protective gloves
06:23but if we don't buy cashews then these people don't yeah then they all die
06:27yeah they start off like i don't know what you do so give them all which fingers and move on that's it
06:33yeah that's uh you make i mean everybody has a choice sometimes i don't know not always not always
06:41the cashews are poisonous until baked right yes i think yeah that's what i always knew that's
06:46that's where i thought their bad news ended no that's right it's not true oh yeah and then there
06:53was that yeah yeah it's real bad but an incredible amount of people suffer get itchy butt from cashews
06:59but what's weird about the itchy butt is that it's not everybody because i've i've never got an itchy
07:05butt from cashews i ate a tremendous amount of cashews last night no it only affects certain people
07:10yeah and they say if they're not completely cooked correctly it can be worse if they're not properly
07:16roasted yeah you'll develop that kind of like allergic reaction through your ass james have you had a
07:21cashew since we've just discovered this oh yeah yeah yeah my butt's been okay okay higher quality
07:26so the only yeah that's the thing he made the mistake of buying smaller cans yeah bulk that big famous
07:32nut guy that everybody knows yeah yep he's probably the one that released this video probably
07:38it's got the monocle yeah the bike he does cashews too though yeah but he yes he's more big peanut
07:45you know anyway i just thought it was interesting yeah i didn't want to bring you down no i mean i didn't
07:50want to start off i'll be able to buy them now but well i'm gonna eat some when i get home
07:55that's can't worry about it old acid fingers yep
