Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves!
Peanut butter, since it's discovery in 1908 B.C., has been destroying lives and tearing families apart! In the U.S. an average of $180,000 yearly, per household, is spent on peanut butter alone, (not to mention jelly, with it's sky-rocketing prices)! Because of peanut butter, millions of infants and children have been sold into slavery for a mere one jar a child, and the ones who manage not to be sold and who would otherwise be leaving for college next year are stuck at home after their college funds are wasted on (what else?) peanut butter. Nursing homes are frequently raided and organs are harvested for sale on the black market, two kidneys and a lung being equal to 1/2 jar.
The FDA may have approved the sale of peanut butter, but they do not regulate what is printed on it's labels. The dangers and side-effects of ingesting peanut butter are kept quiet by companies like Unilever (makers of Skippy brand peanut butter) and the J.M. Smucker company (makers of Jif brand peanut butter). Companies such as these mention on their product labels that peanut butter is an "excellent source of protein", but do they mention the risk of developing Appendicitis, Toe Cancer, development of a fourth set of molars (Exceptionally Knowledgeable Teeth, or EKT), and the risk of growing a third arm during infancy? I didn't think so. By 2008, it has been predicted that 1 out of 10 infants will be born with large, peanut-butter-filled cysts on their brains, and later 3 out of every 5 will develope a third arm somewhere in their abdominal region. These cyst can easily (and more often than not) become cancerous, and put the infant's life at risk.
Do you really want that on your conscience?
Not to be a nag, but exactly where are you coming up with these kinds of figures and statements. I would like to see some evidence cited that proves that infants are being sold into slavery for a jar of peanut butter.
