Peanut butter is a longtime staple and favorite for children and adults. The good news is peanuts, it turns out, can be really good for us. Peanuts pack a load of nutrition in a small package. They are a good source of protein, with 7 grams in a 1-ounce serving. There are also 2 grams of fiber and almost one quarter of the recommended daily allowance for vitamin E in each ounce, not to mention magnesium, potassium, copper, folic acid and many other vitamins and minerals. A healthy handful Fear of fat keeps many people from making peanuts part of their diet. But many studies are showing that the monounsaturated fat in peanuts is a healthy choice — especially since it comes with so much that is good for you.

The Ghana High Commission in Ottawa Saga: The Real Truth

He “defected" from the house on Thursday November 15, 2007, a few hours after he got his pay cheque.

There is allegation from the “Rumour Mill" story that the High Commissioner has taken some eight thousand dollars from the cook. The fact of the matter from investigations is that he had been given accommodation at the High Commissioner's Residence. He cooked and ate there. He used the toileteries there. For all his living expenses, he was charged CDN500 a month. Is that too much to ask? Now that he is out of the house, he is going to be paid a maximum of CDN679.00 a month welfare allowance by the government of Canada. Compare that to the CDN2050 he was paid every month working for the High Commissioner. I believe that when the reality kicks in he will realize that those that advised him to take the action he did had deceived him.
