I agree.It does not sound good however I have reached a point in life where I do not critisize that what I have not experienced.That being said,I have an aquantaice that like Peanut butter + mayonnaise sandwiches. That turns my stomach in revolt.sight unseen + untasted.Which brings me to another issue concerning peanut butter.All these "NEW" allergies that the kids are experiencing now. Hell,we never had any one sick from eating peanut butter.We also never had anyone who could not or would not eat it willingly....Warning! political statement coming up. Could this just be another political move to advance the premese on the "pussisication" on the American Male?This would be funny if not so sad.
Randy, while I have probably eaten a PB sandwich for at least 300 of the days of every year of my life, the wildest thing I ever put on one besides butter and jelly was alfalfa sprouts. As to your other point, I fear we have raised generations of kids who have never been kissed on the lips by dogs, and who have never made a mud pie and taken a couple of bites. Their immune systems are fragile, as a result.

Bill,on + off the subject of immune systems. A true story here. We all know of Jim Corbett of man eating tigers fame.During war2 he helped train the Brits in jungle warfare in India.It was reported at several instances that when he was leading troops through the jungle he would periodically stop at some tepid pool of water,push the mosquito larvae away,cup his hand + take a drink.He claimed it kept his immune system up.But remember he was born + raised in India.
Addendum. Also read an article the other day in NEJOM about why the black race do not/or rarely contract malaria.Seems that the gene that promotes sicle cel anemia(sp)also protects its hosts from the malaria virus.Sorry to get off the subject,especially where food is involved.
Interesting stuff, Randy. I think Jim Corbett might have been intuitively correct, but you wouldn't catch me drinking tepid water where guinea worm and schistosomiasis are endemic!

Sorry, my wife might like it-but not me. I am no lover of peanut butter-I eat a peanut butter sandwich once every year-year and a half and that holds me over for another year-year and a half. I plan on having her review this.
Old college buddy of mine that we worked night watch together;during off times between rounds we sat in the cafeteria + drank coffee,played dominoes + ate.He would use his Buck folding hunter to dip peanut butter out of the jar + lick it off the blade.He always claimed that peanut butter was good for the soul.
