Is it bad to eat this?!
and the shells of peanuts taste extremely similar to pencils
so i have started eating that..i dont eat the actual peanut because i heard they have a lot of calories, so i just eat the shells. and i like it. but is that bad for me? and is there a lot of calories in the shells too?
thanks!!
Answers: I enjoy chewing on pencils...like i love the taste, but i dont want to do ti anymore because its gross and all my pencils look retarded.. so my boyfriend suggested i find something else to eat to substitute the pencils.

The only health issue is aflatoxin, which is a type of mold that can be on the shell of peanuts. This can be bad for you. Its good that you figured out you have a problem-Step One. Now you have to find another substitute-try to find another kind of nut thats hard(like peanuts and pencils) , tastes good, and you can snack on( and wont be too bad for you). What about cashews or pistachios( yum!)? Hope that helped! :)

try gum.
try gum
chew gum..... its bad to chew ur pencil to because it has lead
well i know that the shells have quite a bit of sodium, so i'd watch out for that
You could try chewing gum.Oh and unless your on a diet you can eat peanut shells.
yea, my advice dont chew on pencils, not the best for you. peanuts are fine for you, they have protein so if you like the taste, go ahead and eat the whole peanut. ive never tried eating the shells so i dont know if they are the same or not.
You might have "pica".... better see the doctor.
See PICA (web search) it can be an anemia or eating disorder.
The shells are better than the pencils for sure... but, there are people that have eaten things that are not very digestible...such as, fingernails. They can end up having appendicitis...they then find these kinds of things in the appendix and the etiology of the appendicitis that requires an appendectomy
Remember... pencils have paint flecks... the lead is really graphite and the wood is not digestible and could end up causing appendicitis like the shells.
If you chew on peanut shells be sure you wash them. my dad used to work in a facility that packaged peanuts and all i can say is....wash them....they are NOT something you want in your mouth! How about some flavored toothpicks?
no, chewing on pencils is bad! >_<
I don't think the Peanut shells are bad for you if they're organic, but try not to choke on them...
do you swallow the shells, or spit them out?
have you ever heard of lead poisoning?
Have a great day!
Lots of fiber in those peanut shells! Do you actually eat the pencils or do you just chew on them? You might want to get checked for dietary deficiencies. Medically what you MIGHT have is called Pica. It just means you eat things that are not meant to be eaten. (No wise cracks!)
By the way pencils do not contain lead it is graphite
its bad try chewing gum
and i heard from the news that one guy was forced to eat the pencil by the other guy (well this guy was tortured by the other guy) the guy who was forced to eat the pencil died 3 days after because of the lead he was poisoned
and try to chew on things that are edible
That is good that you stop eating pencils. However, if you don't like the inside of the peanut, then you should eat something else. I suggest gum.
If you eat too many pencils, you're going to die of lead poisoning ... I think you need to talk to your doctor
chewing on pencils is bad for your teeth because it stresses it too much on the tooth or teeth it also deteriotrates the teeth or tooth chew on gum yea the peanut shell is bad for you or anybody in fact i dont know if it contains a lot of calories in the shells
