Your diet is better than what a lot of people use.
There is nothing wrong with that mis for the most part.
I'm not familiar with dried veggies so I didn't know
if they are similar to dried fruit or not. I tend to
keep things pretty simple so I wouldn't have shelled
nuts and in shell nuts both.
The banana chips are a treat for my bunch. They each
get one about every other day IF they take it from my
hand. If they won't come get it, they don't get it...
I do have one of about sixteen flyers that does not
like banana chips. The rest will fight over them...
