One does not necessarily want nuts to last longer in the digestive
tract.  Ever heard of diverticulitis?  Nuts and seeds can get stuck in
pockets in the intestine called diverticuli and get infected and cause
all sorts of gastric distress.  Better to have food that is disgested
quickly rather than stick around inside for days.

Most people don't have diverticulosis.

songbird's point is that the fat and protein in peanuts and walnuts
will give a longer-lasting feeling of satiation than just vegetables.
