On the subject of almonds: Lostlakehiker said upthread that they’re a “better food” than rice. Now I’m sure they have a lot of nutrients in them, and in Calories/lb., I’m sure they’re way ahead of rice, but…. Let’s remember that almonds are the pits of a strain of apricot that’s been bred to concentrate less cyanide there—but “less cyanide” does not equal “no cyanide”. You really don’t want to make almonds a major part of your diet.
