They are high in fat though. Why would an obese person eat them?

Cool way to pass the time. I can do the "store in your cheek and crack one at a time " thing so it's cool at sporting events or if I'm sitting around in my backyard

Neurotic people who can't stand still and have "restless leg syndrome" of the whole body benefit from the mental stimulation of chewing on seeds. Sunflower seeds take a considerable amount of effort to get into, which fools your brain into thinking it has eaten much more than what it really has- thus people tout it as healthy for this reason, because it makes you work harder for a small but tasty reward.

Unfortunately, these same neurotic people who eat whole bags of seeds at a time will usually litter the floors thinking that the shells must be biodegradable, so they're not doing any harm. I work in the restaurant business, so it irritates me to see any amount of seeds on the floor. They don't go away on their own. They're difficult to sweep up and slow down your routine.

Cigarette butts, leaves, and sunflower shells make up 90% of what I sweep up on a daily basis. :(

I also must add that they are biodegradable, just not on sidewalks and floors.

I've tried many times to like sunflower seeds in the shell. I have yet to succeed. A lot of those fellas are experts at cracking the husks, spitting them out, then eating the seed. I sure as hell cannot.

It made me cry to receive a non insult on 4chan... thank you for that. im a full stack dev and digital artist who knows lots of programming languages, and yet I do all that as a hobby. IRL I am just a depressed janitor who is really good at cooking at home and nobody cares because minimum wage work is slowly killing me..

All I know is that DON"T eat the shells.

I ate 10 packets of sunflower seeds and swallowed the shells. It literally ripped through my intestines and I passed a spiky piece of feces the size of a baseball. My intestines are still scarred from that. :(
