Peanut Butter Slices?

Has anyone here tried the peanut butter slice?. They strike me as a good,
calorie controlled way to get in a little peanut butter. My willpower isn't
good enough to keep the real stuff around. First thing I know, I'm digging
into it with a spoon. g I can't tell from the wrapper if they have the 'good
fats' in them that I would like to get. My tryglycerides are pretty high and
I've been told by my doctor that peanut butter would be an ideal fat. I have
lowered my tryg. some in the last year from getting a little nuts occasionally,
and a serving of Smart Balance Margarine daily. Incidentally, my triglycerides
went way too high after 1 1/2 yrs of very low fat dieting. I did eat about 3
oz of protein at dinner, and tuna, or a slice of fat free ham at lunch. But I
didn't get any other fats. I have read many places since that this can cause
the tryglicerides to jump sky high. Thanks for any information. Beverly B

I never understood peanut butter Must be an American thing.

Most of us grow up eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! I
guess they still give kids that, though probably not as much.
Remember, peanut is neither a pea nor a nut. Discuss.

I hate peas anyway.... Nut I do love Nuts. All *kinds* of nuts.
(w/ the exception of some phsycological ones, although some are just plain
funny)

But I LOVE peanut butter. Especially Reeses peanutbutter. mmmm...
peanut butter. And the other flavor I like is the applecinnamon peanut
butter.

But my recent favorite is to get the fresh ground natural stuff from my
local grocer, then add splenda to sweeten it to my own taste. Less sugar
content that way.

I like the low calorie no salt added one by Peter Pan... I think it tastes
great and has less calories. I try not to buy it because I like it tooo
much.

I can clearly remember having peanut butter at home when I was a child
in the 1950s and loving it. Perhaps it's a south of the border thing
in the UK
What I find sad now is that it just doesn't have anything like the
flavour it used to have. This isn't just a case of remembering things
as being better when I was a child - it really was richer, darker
brown, and a wonderful flavour. Now it is paler, very dry, and rather
tasteless IMO. I think this may be because the peanuts, like many of
today's fruit and veg, have become mass produced and tasteless. Also,
we have a very limited choice of brands here - I must remember to try
it next time I visit the US.

I do remember the odd kid having it at school - so we did have it. But it
wasn't popular. I remember trying a chocolate-flavoured variety once and
hating it. I thought it was very dry and opted for my juicy chopped ham and
lettuce sandwich the next day. It may be more popular now - I don't know.
With the risk of sounding like an old man at the grand age of 21, kids have
started using more and more American vocabulary and even started playing
American sports, like baseball. This has probably gone down to their eating
habits too.

My mother always sent me to school with wholemeal bread, apples, diet soft
drinks etc.

I suppose Scotland and England DO have different eating habits. All of the
major supermarkets make a very strong point of marketing themselves for
Scotland, and not for the UK. Even taking away the posters that force you
to recognise this, I think you would notice. The product ranges are very
different to account for Scotland's tastes, especially in types of beer and
fish. Tastes must be different enough for them to do this. Otherwise, it'd
be easier from a business point of view to keep stocks the same UK-wide. I
wonder if more peanut butter IS bought in England . . . I certainly can't
remember it being popular here at all.

I have heard that American food is very high in sugar with the intention of
getting customers addicted, and that it is very difficult to buy good
wholesome food. Is this true?

No, it's not. Is it true that all Scots deep fry everything? : )

Just kidding, I know that all of you don't. We probably have the greatest
choice of wholesome foods in the world in the US. I live in San Francisco,
and I know that there are as many choices for healthy foods here than
non-healthy.

There are a lot of processed foods that contain high levels of sugar but
it's easy to avoid them. Most groceries have health food sections, large
sections of fruit and vegetables, organic food, etc. There are also health
food stores that make it much easier to buy wholesome food without wading
through the aisles of processed food items.

I haven't seen these - but then again I don't usually buy peanut butterg.
I love it but have a tendency to lose control when it's in the house. Is
it sold along side the regular jars of peanut butter?
