Do you love to eat squash seeds?
It is one alternative I eat to ease boredom instead of eating salty or too spicy chips. I also love roasted, crispy corn kernels, but sometimes it also has lots of fats (oil) and salt which is not good for our health if taken too much.
Squash seeds has a nutty flavor which I love best. It has also some health benefits.I like it plain, instead of the ones with so much salt at the seed coat. It is a bit messy because the salt tends to stick to the fingers.
What do you eat when bored or while watching television/movies?

It is a good habit; reading books then having a good night's sleep.

So you are so health conscious, that's why you do not keep chips in your house?

@acelawrites If I have nice things in the house then I eat them. 
I am trying to keep my weight down so it's best if I'm not tempted by having too many snack foods in the house saying 'eat me, eat me'!

For a healthy nibble, I slice cucumber or eat baby carrots. Otherwise I make my own popcorn.

@acelawrites not only that. Squash seeds are not common in the cinema but popcorns.

Popcorn is good too, but it should be just plain.

Cashews and other nuts taste so good, but I can not eat them because of the uric acid in them; will cause arthritis attacks.

@pitsipeahie I do it also; drinking lots of water when I am at home to flush out toxins.

@acelawrites I have high uric acid too but I do eat them anyway hahaha. Stubborn! 
Just in moderation though not too plenty in a seating and I drink lots of water as my doctor advised me to help my kidneys flush excess uric in my blood through urination.

I love nuts too, but the high uric acid content of some nuts prevents me from eating them!

I avoid chips too because of too much sodium in it; yes, pistachio tastes good too!
