Huh, is peanut butter a big part of the average diet in america?

Also; hydrogenated fat means Trans fat = baaaad

You can buy transfat free peanut butter. It tastes better, too.

Yes, awareness is on the rise. As far as I'm concerned I don't understand why they don't ban it altogether.

Back to healthy food....

peanut butter.

I'd say tons of it are eaten yearly here, mostly by kids. Then again, many children seem to have peanut allergies.

I like it. Wouldn't want it every day. I probably eat 2 or 3 jars a year.

Don't remember being in love with it as a kid.

It actually is a very healthy food, even the hydrogenated ones. It's filling, and people who eat it tend to be satiated sooner, so it can help in weight maintenance. It's also inversely associated with type 2 diabetes.

I've often wondered what people from countries other than the U.S. think of its taste.

I'm in the process of switching over to real-peanut peanut butter. The taste is a little different, but it eliminates tons of bad fat.

What other sort is there? Unreal peanut butter. I thought it was just peanuts?

The peanut oil is too valuable. They press out the peanut oil and replace it with, well, shortening basically.

Keep your tofu and give me a cookie!

especially after reading this ... and then doing some research on soy/agribusiness/lobbyists.

Used to love those tofu dumplings at Pearl Court, and the pear-pomegranate soy nut snacks. Now, I'm checking labels for soy content.

Yes, indeed. But wasn't there a brussel sprout thread, with mentions of parboiling them? Says she who puts uncooked ones, sliced thin, in some salads.

Have always wondered about CoolWhip's avatar....

I do somewhat agree with Boomer's original point, that stuff packaged as health food is often icky, if not always.

I'm also cheese-mad... but please, no non-fat cheese, bletch.

Brands? I don't do no steenkin' brands!

You've got to buy it from behind the counter at the nastiest looking 1-person gas station you can find.

I actually did pick some good deer jerky up in a small grocery store in Frankenmuth on one trip - but it was a local supplier, that sold only in the area - and oddly enough, it was a grubby little grocery store - none of the big chains carried anything like it (their jerky was all full of preservatives).

mmkay, but (good god, why am I playing tofu defense attorney? Laughing

I'm not a paid soy-shill, I swear!), tofu is not where the big market for soy comes from... The huge market for soy, the kind of demand that leads to evil agribusiness practices, is for additives in crap processed foods, and feed for livestock. If soy wasn't used for these nasty things it wouldn't be one of the giant crops and there wouldn't be the big agribusiness interest in soy.... it always comes back down to, Quit eating nasty processed crap food, people! (it's probably the tofu I had for dinner talking, though)

....Aaanyway... non-sugary peanut butter's so yummy--I thought it was pretty weird the first time I had it, but then once you get used to it, then the regular kind seems so flavorless... you really start to notice how all the sugar taste just kind of kills the flavor of the peanuts....

Oh man, I sound like such a hippie. I'm gonna go take a shower and shave my armpits...

You can go to Sun Harvest here and have them pour you some fresh nuts into a grinder with no additives and make your own peanut butter.

I like to put 1/2 cashews and 1/4 regular peanuts and 1/4 honey roasted.

Lightly sweet, salty peanut butter.
YUUUUMMM!

Cashew butter.....MMMMmmmmm. (See Homer Simpson and Donuts)

Woooo Wooo Make your own venison jerky....

Got a dehydrator?

I know...ya'll don't want to hear this, but we usually end up with anywhere from 2-6 deer a year, depending. And usually the first one goes into jerky, excepts its backstraps..

I keep the dehydrator going 24/7 for awhile, we eat it as fast as it comes off the trays.

0 Replies

Dehydrators are easy.

More of us hit deer with our cars, than shoot them....

(they are not so good then...)

I find the taste pretty ok, really. A bit salty and fatty to eat large amounts of. It's been yars since I've had any, come to think of it.
The reason I asked was because you spoke of it as if it were a big part of your diet - so, now I know. Very Happy

(didn't know it was healthy though...)
