I picked nuts (lose the berries). It was tough, but this way, I can still have peanut butter and GRAPE jelly sandwiches, lol, and artificially flavored berry stuff.

This is tough. I love nuts in nearly any kind of food. But if I absolutely have to choose – fruit is going to win for the long haul.

Having been given this question in a vacuum, I’m assuming we’re back in the hunter/gatherer days of yore.

I’d say the potential for nuts causing things like Colitis, if I were living in the state of nature I’d give up nuts.

Both are delicious, one is indigestible. One also can cause serious digestive problems down the road. Thus spake Jeff.

Despite having peanut butter toast for breakfast this morning, I recently had an excellent blueberry pie, which frankly did taste better.

This one is so freaking hard! Ordinarily I’d say I’d easily give up nuts and keep berries, but…I just had an amazing stir fry that was only amazing because it was swarming with all sorts of nuts…Gah.

How about I say I’d give up berries for the fall?

You are a cruel, cruel man. I’m not sure I can decide on this one. Most of them are relatively easy, but this is basically a ban on PB&J. I can’t stand for that.

I could never give up nuts!! I’m not a dessert eater, so I could easily give that up and I couldn’t tell you the last time I ate jelly. But I have this new addiction. Blue Diamond makes these Jalepeno Smokehouse almonds and I love love love them!

Give up the berries for one reason- You can walk into almost anyplace and get a berry-free meal… try it with nuts and it’s a whole different story… you can’t even order a salad without traces of peanut at Chick-Fil-A for instance.

I’m kind of cheating, since I don’t like nuts. But I think even if I did, definitely berries 100%. Raspberries are about one of my favorite things in the world, especially with real vanilla bean ice cream… mmmmmmm…..

You’ve got to be kidding me. This is even hard for people? As Youppi points out, most people eat berries in desserts and jellies. Berries and fruit are the ANTITHESIS of dessert foods. They’re good for you! What kind of guilt sets in when eating strawberries! None!

There are a ton of different kinds of nuts, grown all over the world. One could make the same argument for berries, but they suck, so what’s the point? You can call me Senor Savory.

All you berry lovers are deluded!

this is a tough one. though I probably would miss the nuts now, in the long run, I think I would jones harder over the berries. I mean, when I’m older, I want to eat jelly and jam, pie, and berries in general. I might not even be able to eat nuts when I’m older, but it’s a jones that I couldn’t eat peanut butter, snickers, or plain old peanuts at a ballgame…
