What's the deal with nuts and why do these little pod things contain FAT?? Why should they contain fat?? It doesnt make sense to me. Beans and peas dont really contain considerable amounts of fat, so why do nuts? It's not a meat, doesn't come from an animal, so what's the deal? Nothing else that grows from the earth contains any real fat. The problem is tey taste so damn good too. I could eat jars of natty peanut butter and a bushel of walnuts a day! Life isn't fair, it's cruel trick nature played on us.
 
They're good fats.

Nuts, Olive oil, Fish oil and Flax oil (from flax seed).

Most people don't eat enough good fats.

but why do they have fat?? yadda.. i know they're good fat, but I want to eat a hell of alot more of them then I do trying to adhere to a diet
 
Remember:
Oils = Fats
Nuts = Covered in oils

When you have natural peanut butter, for example, all the oil from the nuts floats from the top. Nuts contain natural oils, and oils are fat.
 
You've obviously never heard of Corn Oil or Vegetable Oil. There are 'animal fats' and 'vegetable fats'.

Did you know that avocado's contain a fair amount of fat?
 
Of course, the fat in avocado is monounsaturated fat, so it not only is relatively very bioavailable as far as fat goes, but it helps raises HDL (good) cholesterol levels while lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol.
