I thought you were distinguishing by botanical types.  Legumes are all 
seeds too, come to that.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to mention peanuts anyway.  "Know Your

If they outlawed every foodstuff that caused a violent allergy, they 
should have started with Sugar.  Kids with Juvenile Diabetes can DIE

Peanut lobby, at least after President Carter anyway.  <wry g>
