Okay, I'll take a trip down memory lane. Let's see the five "sattvic" foods, as I recall, were,
almonds, honey, cherries, oranges, and probably something in the dairy line, I can't recall at the moment. And yes, in the back of my mind, I guess I still subscribe to this, to some extend. Although, it's not really hard to do.

Google has many special feature... https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=Peanuts+dull+the+mind%3F&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 I am fond of peanuts as are birds, squirrels, rats, and other rodents. Blue jays head straight for them over other kinds of seeds. Smaller birds will try to carry off a large unshelled peanut in preference to a bird feeder. High fat and protein. Birds go for that. Birds will choose GMO seeds that have higher protein over natural ones of the same kind. The idea that peanuts are bad comes from their being hard to digest. About 30% of the fat in peanuts tends to not get digested. An Ayurvedic no no. If you get stranded in a winter wilderness with a lot of peanuts and you are Ayurvedic in dietary preferences, you die. Actually some Ayurvedic sources say to reduce, not necessarily eliminate peanuts. Peanuts have a strong odor, so perhaps that is another reason spiritually minded dogmatists are against them. Also the Vedic people did not know about peanuts. India got its first peanuts in the 18th century. Vedic proscriptions do not specifically apply to the peanut as a result, modern Vedic-ites retrofitted proscriptions against nuts to them. It's all about nuts, but it is not clear whether the proscribed articles are the food or the eater of the food or both. Let us say it is perhaps unhealthy to be around nuts according to this view.

As such, the peanuts would be constantly tumbling as the coating is applied, so there would be no dents.

How do they get the peanut inside each m&m perfectly coated with chocolate, surrounded by the crunchy shell, without leaving a slight dent on it, from where it was resting on the conveyor belt? 2. Also, each peanut m&m is a slightly different size, yet they are each uniformly imprinted with an "m". Are they produced by an army of small handed candy stampers, or what? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Aggregating Questions..

Would one of the conclusions be "Transcending will make you happy and TM is the preferred method of transcending". OK fine...let's see some evidence. Likewise, with the other claims. Will "transcending" offset bad karma. Will it make people richer?. How about curing diseases? Make some real substantial claims followed by some good uncooked data; with perhaps a few citations of peer reviewed research by somebody outside of the TMO or MUM. If the claims are true, people in vast numbers should be flocking to a practice that has specified benefits. Will "transcending" help one in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse?
