<< YES!  For that very reason, I rarely if ever keep them in the house.  Nuts,
 at least.  Seeds don't really ring my bell.  X calories worth of, say
 chicken, leaves me happy and satiated.  The same amount of calories from
 nuts leaves my hungry.

Strange. Maybe one should eat something else with them. I remember one of the
stories about my local Indians....when asked why they kept their acorn
granaries away from the village, the reply was that they would eat them all
if they were near by... so I guess they had the same problem. They generally
used to eat acorn porridge with deer meat.
