Screw the natural order.
The point is, it's not going to kill anybody to put out a few peanuts.

No, it won't hurt to put out peanuts, peanut butter, ear corn, sunflower seed, oats, dry dog food, or any kind of nut; problem is it probably won't help much, either.
The upside of putting out food is that birds will benefit too.(unless you draw those pesky house sparrows, ughh)
The downside is so will the racoons, possums, mice and rats. It impossible to monitor who gets the stuff, but you obviously love squirrels, so go for it Rose. I'm sure you'll save a few this winter by putting out food for them.
Good luck!
