What's the story behind the Cashew hating? They seem to be almost exactly the same as Almonds, but everyone says that Almonds are good for you when you are losing weight but Cashews are bad. What's up with that?

Who is saying cashews are bad? Everyone knows it's peanuts that are bad for health not cashews0 -
Well, for me they are the devil because I want as many of them as possible to get in my belly, as quickly as possible, whereas almonds are ok but kind of have the consistency of twigs and don't trigger a big binge.
Your mileage may vary.
...anybody got any cashews?0 -
No sir, just delicious.0
-
Cashews are only bad for me as I have to eat them all xx0
-
They are not the devil, but they are her favorite snack food. Hence their bad reputation.0
-
I've doing fine while eating them almost daily. Good fats, some protein and nice to nibble. Sounds like the devil

Cashews are creamy goodness with a salty covering...:smooched:
:devil: Therefore some people, like me, have a very hard time just eating the serving size of them... 0 -
my young daughter once stole her grandpa's can of cashews- and ate the entire thing...
which resulted in.....uh.....lots of running........and not the kind you log as exercise....
that was pure hell......so perhaps you're onto something....0 -
Who told you that nonsense?0
-
Yes, cashews are the devil. Haven't you noticed that when you line 3 of them up just right, it looks like 666?
Definitely the devil.0 -
Cashews buttery deliciousness are very evil, i can't keep my hands off those little evil *kitten*, especially kirkland brand - world's most addicting cashews. I go on cashew rehab once in a while, but that's all worth it when I have cashew binge. and yes pistachios are amazingly delicious as well. Almonds are just meh.0

I don't know if they are the devil but they are no where near being like almonds. They have about half the fiber, twice the carbs, three times the saturated fat, and more calories. Pretty much none of their numbers match up besides protein.0

I've been eating this Cashew Chicken for lunch all week, http://myfridgefood.com/viewrecipe.php?recipe=20547
So good. Love cashews!0 -
Almonds are just meh.
The only useful purpose of almonds is biscotti.
Or flicking at traffic wardens.0 -
I was told cashews are more oily and fatty. Which depending on what kind of "diet" you're on could be good or bad. For me, I adore them, but am only supposed to eat 8 or 9 in one sitting, which I find almost impossible because they're sooo delicious. Almonds are not oily or as fatty I guess.0

The devil's in the house of the risin' sun. Chicken in the bread pan, now they're pickin' out dough.0

*craving cashews now*0
-
NO, they are GREAT. The best green beans ever have a handful of cashews ( non salted) along with sauteed mushrooms and carmelized onions.0

Never heard anyone say this. Personally, I eat all of the nuts ('cept not "salty" ones)0 -
Ever since costco started selling bags of hulled pistachios... ugh. I have to avoid that whole snack section for fear of one of the bags accidentally falling into my cart.0

YUM! Thanks for posting this! added it to my Pinterest board!0 -
I have been eating cashews and I have lost weight!!0

I used to love cashews but I won't even have them in the house now - ten years ago we discovered my son was allergic to them when he had an anaphylactic reaction to one. So - as far as I'm concerned, they ARE evil! :sad:0
