    Yeah, but JIF is like… sugar and palm kernel oil garbage. It’s a peanut butter product, not peanut butter.

    Peanut butter should have one or two ingredients, max. Peanuts, and maybe salt.

      The oil in Jif is rapeseed (canola) and/or soybean, not palm. Not disagreeing with your sentiment in general, but for the sake of clarity…

      2% or less of added oils. I get natty PB as well but it’s not quite as good as a bad food. I’m 6’3” and 195 at near 40 years old, my diet is fine. Jif is probably the “worst” thing I enjoy regularly. I still maintain it’s the best PB of the commercially produced varieties.

      This was my biggest complaint about an abroad stint in the Netherlands — all the peanut butter* was JIF style/huge ingredient list. Agree completely — only acceptable ingredients are peanuts and salt.

      The beer wasn’t all my style, but I could certainly appreciate it.

      *“pindakaas” literally “peanut cheese,” I think because “butter” is reserved for dairy products.
