When peoples health obsessions interfere with my life.

Yeah, the creamy dressings are terrible fat free. I've tried and don't even bother anymore.

I've been trying those new spray salad dressings (basically just your vinegrettes and Italian dressings). Its only 2 calories per spray and your salads pretty covered after about 10 sprays.

The problem with reduced fat or fat free stuff like salad dressing or peanut butter is that the fat is cut but the carbs are jacked up. Nothing makes me gain weight faster than carbs, so for me, not only would I eat stuff that tastes like crap, I would also have to buy bigger clothes.

Ding ding ding. We have another winner - reduced fat peanut butter. Really need to make that label much larger and pronounced so that the 99% of the people buying peanut butter because they like peanut butter don't find out after they try spreading it on bread.

Yet another food that I just say "Why?".

My wife likes the way reduced fat peanut butter tastes compared to the regular. I've gotten accustomed to the reduced fat kind. Its really not much better for you though, I guess they can't really make peanut butter healthy.

I can't spread it without tearing the bread.

The only time I eat peanut butter is plain. I don't eat it very often but when I do I just get a big spoonful and eat that.

My wife normally eats it on toast so it heats it up a little and its easier to spread. She eats PB&J's too though and doesn't seem to have problem. We don't use white bread though, its whole wheat so maybe its a little tougher.

BTW - combining two foods from this thread makes a delicious snack. PB and celery is awesome.

Almond butter is much better for you (and quite tasty!) than peanut better. Can find it at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's....good stuff! And it spreads just find......

Should this be merged with Jim's "Chest Pain" thread?
