Peanut Butter’s Popularity Spreading Across the U.S.

Call your broker! It is obviously time to buy Jif stock. In fact peanut farmers may be in again. Besides grass I don’t know what sheep eat but whatever it is it would probably be appropriate fare for the flock who will now turn to peanut butter for dietary salvation.

Let’s hope that when the inevitable discovery occurs in the future of some potentially dangerous side effect from eating peanut butter (a rat will die from complications stemming from aflatoxin after being force fed 40 jars of peanut butter a day), the market survives.

I look forward to the time when the trend of healthful eating, ad nauseam , equates with too boring for words and we can all go back to whatever bad habits we had that enabled us to think about something besides our bods and possibly be little more fun, too.
