So I’m looking at the “organic” Safeway peanut butter and was stunned to read the label. It’s yet another crappy peanut butter that has no peanut oil (removed, sold at a premium and replaced with a cheaper oil) and has added sugar. It’s ridiculous. At our Deli in Port Angeles we sell a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for kids and only use real peanut butter from Adams. This “O” stuff can’t be as good as 100-percent peanuts. But, hey, it’s Organic!
Did we all forget 8th grade chemistry class?
I seem to recall that the word “organic” ment carbon based. In other words, if it was once alive (on planet earth,) it is made up of carbon molocules, and there for is…. say it with me… ORGANIC!
Guess what, my 100% lamb skin seat cover may be organic, but I don’t want to eat it!!!
I hate that use of the word “organic” as a marketing ploy for the stupid!!
I’ll stick to my red meat and potatoes!
BlackViper didn’t mention anything about egg whites peanut butter and jam did.Viper was right about mayo that you make at home with a whisk a bowl and some muscle. It is roughly 60-70 percent oil with some form of acid, egg YOLKS, and seasoning. He nailed it and I should know I’m a chef who makes mayo quite often.
#39–Scott==seems like organic is in our near future as city waste will increasingly be used to grow our food:

Um, what cane sugar isn’t organic? And palm oil is organic, too. The whole “organic” marketing ploy is a scam. All food is organic.
Salt is the only inorganic ingredient in this peanut butter. It is not a food but rather a chemical compound added for flavor and as a preservative. Egad!
However, if they called it “sodium chloride” then the hippies would freak out and not eat it.
I buy peanut butter at Shoppers.
Ingredients: Peanuts.
That’s it.
“Added nutrients” are a good thing? Be serious, the only reason they are added is because they were leached out to begin with due to the processing of the food product. I will take the first mentioned peanut butter over Jif any day of the week (I noticed you didn’t address the preservatives in a cohesive fashion). If you want to believe the propaganda of the food corporations feel free to pickle your body.
