on a scale of 1-10

I'm allergic to peanuts.. so I guess that's a 0 on the healthy scale for me.

On the other hand, peanut oil like in some Asian cuisines has no effect on me.

Why would you think they are bad?

Anyhow, peanuts (and most other nuts) are very good for you. I regularly snack on Cashews and almonds.

Yep. Nothing wrong with peanuts. They're full of essential nutrients, have a decent amount of protein, and while they are high in fat, a large amount of that is mono-unsaturated, which is good.

I prefer Macadamia Nuts myself but they're god awful expensive and you got to watch the portion sizes :laugh:

Nothing is better than bacon. You die young, but you die well fed.
