i grew up eating a lot of peanut butter. i was a picky kid, and my parents were on a budget. that was one of the easy things that my parents kept around the house for me to eat whatever with. so, it's a good pastime for me. as far as healthy, eh-not so much. a couple tablespoons won't kill you, but eating it all the time isn't great. it's very fattening. but it's a great source of protein.

Ask Jimmy or Billy Carter.

It dam well better be healthy else I would have croaked years ago. I choose mine every way.
