Your thoughts on nuts / PB

Inspired by modifiedme's post, "An ode to Cauliflower", I welcome other's thoughts, verse, praise or frustrations over nuts, PB and/or other nut butters.  Here's mine:

Nuts, you make me nuts
No ifs, ands or buts

On one hand, you are healthy
The other - sneaky stealthy

For you come boasting that
you have heart heatlhy fat

Plus protein - thats a bonus
and yet to me your know as

The big threat to my waist
with your addictive taste

With calories that you pack
you're more like lunch than snack

Yet I am so crazy for you
and oh, how I adore you

But also hate your guts
so nuts, you make me nuts

Feeling a bit better now ~

Can I throw in a jazz hands, final line, "Weight gainer's frieeennddd~"

Here we go blaiming the victim for the crime again.  If you got your nuts from a tree that you had to locate and then dug the meat out of the shells, you would probably find them less fattening.  I'll take my nuts - a handful a day -- and keep in mind that they are to be "Cherished" rather than gobbled up.  We all have to remember that a "double dose" of nut "love potion number 9" can really send us off to strange places.

Good luck -- Joe

Oh nuts...they drive me crazy!  I measured out an ounce of cashews, looked at the paltry bugger, and pathetically sat down to eat all 20 of them.  Lame.

Peanut butter though is a daily necessity for me!

Actually, twenty is a lot if you take your time over them, like jc343 has said.

I to <3 nuts and occasionally binge but there ain't no shame in my game.

nuts are amazing, too amazing

for someone with bad portion control, they are NOT my friend

great poem btw!
