 I would hate to think of how much I would weigh if I
 substituted nuts for even a small portion of the meat I eat.
 I can eat about an once of nuts per week without
 experiencing weight gain. Like most of your ideas, this one
 is totally impractical.

Amadeus,

I have tried substituting nuts and seeds for meat and I fell apart.  It didn't
sustain me.  They are different than meat, and their high arachidonic acid
sp?) may actually lead to long-term health problems.  Better to eat meat and
fish and snack on nuts as well.  We are not squirrels.

By the way, I find raw nuts and seeds to be the only I can digest without
further compromising my system.  Almonds seem best...
