Besides the protein, why are nuts considered such a healthy alternative to potato chips or other salty snacks? They have just as much fat if not more... so why does everyone say they're SO much healthier?

different kinds of fat. a lot of fat in nuts is monounsaturated
Healthy fat, more fiber, various vitamins and minerals...and nuts make your duodenum chirp like a pterodactyl with retarded talons and a malfunctioning left nipple.
NOthing worse than fried starch
I think I hear a duodenum chirping outside of my window now.
Potato chips are fried in low quality, unhealthy, potentially rancid oil, are too salty, and don't contain much in the way of micronutrients. Imagine 3 weeks ago someone took some potatoes, cut 'em up, and fried them in the cheapest Wal Mart oil around. They used that oil for a while, too (don't worry, there's some potentially cancer-causing chemicals in the oil to stop it from tasting too bad when it gets old). Then they bagged those chips up and sent them your way.
Peanuts aren't the best choice as far as nuts go, anyway. You'd be better off with raw almonds or dry roasted cashews.

They're not. And they're not nuts, since some fools think they are. They're legumes.
For a healthy snack you should eat meat. Makes you big and strong.

The problem with the internet is that it is full of morons who write things that are so ridiculous that one feels a burning need to respond. But, having started, one begins to feel like the whole business of seriously criticising their statements is in itself ridiculous, like having a serious argument with a 5 year old or someone with a mental handicap. Eventually one decides to leave the comment as it is, having wasted 5 minutes of one's time. For this reason, the internet is full of beacons of stupidity like this, stubs which noone will ever respond to because it's not worth the effort. Your comment was the straw that broke the camel's back; you managed so successfully to communicate both how seriously you take yourself and how completely braindead you are that I just had to say something. Congratulations.
Neither is "SO" much healthier than the other. The entire framing of the question and the popular micro-debates in standard American society are foolish and miss the greater picture of nutrition. We gotta have healthier diets all around. The whole boat. Not just--well, I'm stuffing myself with Big Ruth steaks and packaged grocery enjoyments and pastries, because that's the American way, and
OH BY THE WAY, should I swap this one component for the other?
Cause the little stuff won't make a difference if the boat is full of garbage.
Peanuts are whole. You should eat whole food. Not Planters brand salted toasted peanuts. Not potato chips made from Monsanto Lays McDonalds potatoes that have been ground processed then fried baked salted and artificial flavor enhancements and with TBHQ and preservatives added, in a bag, sitting on a darn shelf.
Fresh plant food,
whole and up from the ground. Roots, fruits, stems, leaves.
Put that body in balance, give it the tools so the highway workers of your body can heal itself. Brain synapses, recovering muscle, clogged arteries, poop in the bowels, spring cleaning. Get that mood up. Get in tune. Get your genitals perky and healthy. The whole shebang.
Yes, peanuts are fatty, so use them as a component. Balanced eating. Need a salad dressing? Need a little fat and flavor in a meal full of fresh veggies? Get those peanuts in. Same with potatoes. Yeah, they are starchy, but in natural form, pair them with a mixed natural meal. We need green leafs, but you feel like you can't survive on only twigs and acorns? So get a complete balance.
No need to defer to packaged artificial forms. Get some potatoes--preferably organic because big farming is a disgrace--boil them, microwave them. No need to put butter or salt. They taste so good as they are. Use that steaming potato starch with fresh green beans, chopped green lettuces. So good.
What on Earth compelled you to resurrect a 2 year-old thread with that diatribe? And what were you searching for in the archives in the first place? I'm genuinely curious.

Lol at post above. I too wonder why old threads get inexplicably revived by random posters who make inscrutable comments...
Honestly as for me, I myself never even find my way to old threads unless someone else links to them or I have the link in my browser history , usually for something humorous.
Many "Hows?" Unanswered.
Both are very healthy. I make my own chips using fresh sliced potatoes and peanut oil.

All food is processed by the time it hits your stomach.

Also peanuts are used to grow potatos so it is really the same thing.
