My local tesco has loads of nuts on display, and some of the eating sort aswell.

I recall there is a problem with Brazil nut shells being carcinogenic. Thats why many places dont stock them!

You're not supposed to eat the shells! It never stops them selling fags!

People use walnut shells as a blasting media, also they used to use them to provide a non slip surface on the backs of Ovation guitars, so I reckon
that's where they've all gone.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

It's true, the good old EU sticking their oar in again. They set some fairly strict rules on the amount of aflatoxins that were permitted in
tree nut shells and it's quite difficult (expensive) to get Brazil nuts through IIRC.
Some more information here
