Are peanuts an ideal snack?
Eatin’ Peanuts in the Afternoon
By Warren Domke
A bag of peanuts, shells and all
A meal? A snack? Either, your call
Crack ‘em, peel ‘em, Eat the nut
Some won’t crack, so I’ll try to cut
Crack ‘em, peel ‘em, shells discard
Keep the shells aside, if it’s not too hard
Gets a little messy, but that’s the price
Sweep shells up, keep things clean and nice
Sure taste good, but it’s too much work
Don’t leave a mess, or your spouse you’ll irk
Crack ‘em, shell ‘em, sweep ‘em away
A pleasant snack this time of the day
Peanuts are good, peanuts are nice
Buy a bag in their shells for a reasonable price
But I stop to ponder—is this where it’s at?
With all this work, can peanuts make you fat?
Great answers! This was written for fun. I hope reading it is fun. And I like answers that are fun!

Great poem Warren.
I just happen to have a bowl of them here at my computer. Also have another bowl for the shells.
Great sitting here watching a movie on Netflix and munching peanuts.

That is a fantastic poem! It has everything I like to see in poetry!
Now, for your answer... peanuts are good for you but just like anything that tastes good, too much does add too many calories.
Have you ever been to one of those steak house restaurants that have peanuts in the shell in a little bucket on every table and you just toss your peanut shells on the floor? The first one I went to was back in the 60s'.

Now that you've low blood sugar illness, that wishes you to take some sugar for getting blood sugar. But your work don't allowed you to take meals even as working. However no drawback, you could put just one thin piece of snack like chocolate or candy, simply the thiner the easier, so that you might put it in to your tongue with none unconfortableness. When the snack thaw, you could swallow it just as swallow saliva.... That is all, hope it'll be just right for you.

I actually prefer sunflower seeds or as they are called spitz
so you need to eat them outside or your spouse will have fits
and peanuts cause some to break out and scream and shout
before their throat grows closed as that's the way it goes...
I think that peanuts do in fact - in the act of eating them
detract from the figure that once was slim.

I like pistachios more..
better taste - the shells crack more interestingly,
but I`m currently hung up on walnuts
as they reming me of brains..weirdly.
But -I lie the colouus of pistachios most -
sweet cashew-nuts seem faster to just hit the spot;
peanuts are messy,I have to admit -
When I chaw lots of them, my jeans just..don`t fit!
