That's okay, I don't like peanut butter. Tried it a couple days ago, did not want.
That's because peanut butter tastes like sadness and regret (because you could have been having cheese instead)0 -
I eat this almost every morning...
Banana 1/2
100% Whole Wheat Bread, 2 slices
Sprouts Farmers Market - Peanut Butter-creamy No Salt, No Sugar Added, 1 tbsp
254 Calories
10g Protein
9g Fat
10g Fiber
For me...between that fat, protein and fiber it is worth the calories.0 -
Also, not all proteins are equal.
(ETA: And more importantly, some are more delicious than others.)0 -

I would say that is a bit pessimistic...if you think the world will burn because some of us eat peanut butter.0 -

OP, did you read the INGREDIENTS on the Skippy's label & website ?
SKIPPY "ALL NATURAL" PEANUT BUTTER has
ADDED SUGAR ie not a healthy choice
ADDED PALM OIL. ie not a nealthy choice
before the manufacturer can add crappy sugar or oil, they need to REMOVE some healthy peanuts to make room for them.
there's only so much room in a jar ! lol.
that's why Skippy's is less expensive than good quality PB. Skyppy's uses cheap fillers !!
would a healthier choice be a brand that is simply peanuts. (and perhaps salt)

Liftallthepizzas, I never said added sugar or palm oil destroys health. (that's a bit dramatic on your part).
I said the added addional ingredients aren't a healthy addition. glad we got that cleared up.
Liftallthepizzas, Perhaps this info on 2 added ingredients will be helpful to you......
Added sugar
Empty calories. Linked to obesity. Linked to type2 diabetes. Linked to imflammation. Linked to increased triglycerides. Linked to tooth decay.

Added Palm oil
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned recently that "palm oil is not a healthy substitute for trans-fats" because a government study showed that the saturated fatty acids found in palm oil "are associated with elevated heart-disease risk factors." .
The World Health Organization came to a similar conclusion
Of the 13.6 grams of fat in a tablespoon of palm oil, 6.7 grams are saturated. The American Heart Association recommends that you limit the amount of saturated fat you eat to less than 7 percent of your total caloric intake. Doing so can help protect the health of your heart and keep your cholesterol levels low. Palm oil is higher in saturated fat than other types of vegetable oil. For comparison, a tablespoon of canola oil only has 1 gram of saturated fat. The same amount of olive oil has 1.9 grams of saturated fat. Palm oil is better than coconut oil, however, which contains 11.8 grams of saturated fat per tablespoon.0 -

TIL the AHA still believes saturated fat is inherently bad.0

Thank you OP.

I've already done it. It was maple/cinnamon glazed chicken. It was exceptional.0
