There may be some confusion about the nadinspeak term "crunchy".
During her periodic snits, which always include some kind of implied Goodbye Cruel World threat and once included a self-imposed exile to Crazy Andrea's place, "crunchy" has a specific meaning.
According to nutcase nadin, crunchy news items are satisfying but without substance. They are porous, lightweight, unimportant but popular.
Vitally important stuff, like a brushfire somewhere in the SoCal desert, or a seismograph squiggle, is solid, chewy, heavy, important, substantial.
Important stuff isn't crunchy, but it always brings out gangs of bullies to harrass the crazy bald dwarf.
So from time to time the dwarf limits us to crunchy fluff, until someone begs her to resume posting lifesaving bulletins.
