[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cheese is more of a fat than a protein, and peas are not a protein at all.  There's no way in hell my daughter would touch beef jerky. As for Beans, really? Do you see a middle school or eating any kind of beans during the school day? I would imagine they would get teased: you know, beans beans they're good for your heart...[/quote]

You can't really argue that you're eating cashews instead of cheese because cheese is mostly fat.  Look at the comparison:

A babybel cheese (just choosing an easy form of cheese that would last in a pocket until snack time) has

60 calories

4.6 grams protein

4.6 grams fat

0 grams of carbs.

60 calories of cashews would have about

2.0 grams protein

4.8 grams fat

3.4 grams of carbs

I already posted above that I think that nuts are fine, as long as they aren't at a desk and the kid uses some reasonable caution, but for a kid looking for more variety cheese is also a good source of protein and fat, both of which a kid needs.
