Thank you, Jean-Claude!
I hope I don't bore anyone with questions that have probably been answered
100's if times before, but I can't figure out why we can't eat peanuts
(Monkey nuts). When you crush open the shell, using very light pressure (no
technology there) you can eat the nuts in their raw state so presumably
Paleoman did the same. So why aren't they allowed? I read somewhere else
that it's because they are considered by Ray Audette as a bean; but if a
bean is edible raw why can't we have beans?
