Makes me feel like I dodged a bullet there ... I was going to buy Cheese and Peanut Butter Crackers yesterday, had them in the cart, but changed my mind.

[Sundae]

Ha.
That's all I have to say.

[wolf]

Try being so high and mighty when they recall your Marmite!

[Shawnee123]

Every day in this country, 40 Kajillion children open their lunch box to a nice peanut butter and jelly sammich.

Won't you please think of the children?

Given the length and depth of the recall I would suspect that anything you tried to buy yesteday would have been ok.

Peanut butter sold to end users has not been affected. It's peanut butter paste that has been recalled. Your skippy should be ok.

[Shawnee123]

I was just teasing SG...she hates P Butter.

I luvz peanut butter. Concord grape jelly. Some totally bad for you Wonder type bread.

Yeah, I AM 12!

Me too. Bring on the PB&J.

Actually, since my Crohn's disease got so bad, peanut butter is a major nutrient in my diet.

Hey Dar512...I'm a fellow Crohnie! Diagnosed in Feb. of 2004.

Peanut butter bothers me too, but I still indulge now and then.

dmg - I eat a lot of peanut butter because it's one of the things that doesn't bother me. You're not eating chunky peanut butter are you?

[dmg1969]

No, I never really liked chunky pb. I do eat nuts (mostly peanuts) now and then without too much trouble.

I've been on Humira since November because my other meds stopped working and I get very sick. So, not much bothers me now...feeling pretty good. I have a twin brother who has had CD for over 20 years. I'm a late bloomer.

[Sundae]

They use concentrated PB as a micro-nutrient to feed children on the brink of starvation. They have such shrunken stomachs that very little can be digested, so they need a hyper-protein packed teaspoon-full.

I know it's good, powerful stuff.
Shame it's so grim :p

They can take my Marmite... just not my cheeeeeeeeese!

[jinx]

Do you hate all nut/seed butters SG, or just the peanut?
