What about eating peanut butter... the kind you buy at a health food
store that's fresh and contains nothing but nuts?


Jon:

WAAAAY too high of a fat content. Calories through the roof. One cup of peanut butter is more Calories than my total daily BMR amount.

And as far as "Organic" produce goes: Some excerpts below from a large Stanford Study.

================================================== ==========

“There isn’t much difference between organic and conventional foods...."

A team led by Bravata, a senior affiliate with Stanford’s Center for Health Policy, and Crystal Smith-Spangler, MD, MS, an instructor in the school’s Division of General Medical Disciplines and a physician-investigator at VA Palo Alto Health Care System, did the most comprehensive meta-analysis to date of existing studies comparing organic and conventional foods. They did not find strong evidence that organic foods are more nutritious or carry fewer health risks than conventional alternatives.
