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.

You'd be surprised.

Less than 20% at age 40; 60% by age 60.  On average, not "most"
people.

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

I get his point.  Then again, food sticking around in the lower
digestive tract longer doesn't have much to do with feeling satiated/full.

It's not about residence in the digestive tract.  Aren't you
familiar with how quickly simple carbs are metabolized, leaving one
hungry again?  Proteins such as those found in walnuts and peanuts
give a slower "crash" in blood sugar.

Unless he's shitting peanuts, they're digested long before they
reach the lower digestive tract.
