Nuts have NO cholesterol in them. :P No plant foods will EVER have cholesterol in it--only animal products. :banana: :banana:

Besides, your body makes all the cholesterol you need, so any extra isn't necessary....

Red is right about the fat though. Nuts are high in fat and if you are dieting, don't overdue it! :bsod: Just because something is vegan/vegetarian doesn't mean it is low in fat! :roflmao2: :roflmao2:

Steak: My favourite animal ;) Oops, a tad off-topic :P

I couldn't get the article, but I hope Canada hasn't resorted to mass-slaughtering, as the Poms did over this and foot & mouth! That was completely senseless, slaughtering thousands of perfectly healthy animals :( Such a tragic waste!

Yeah I hope they don't do that. It's horrible and overly cruel and wasteful!
