They are very good for you. They have protein, which makes it good for you, so don't sweat it!

Peanuts are good for you! They contain 'good' fat. However, this means that they are high in calories, so if you are watching your weight I wouldn't munch for an hour. Also, if they are salted you are probably consuming way too much salt.

Peanuts have protien but are also high in fat. They're good for you but in moderation. Canada's food guide reccomends 1/4 to 1/2 a cup.

Great for protein, terrible for fat content!! Munching on them for an hour will not help your waistline, but hey it's Christmas. Have a good one!

Peanuts are best eaten with Dr Pepper.

Peanuts are a very nourishing food source and high in fat though it is a vegetable fat.

They are good for you unless you are allergic to them!
Walnuts and almonds are even better for you!
