I was grocery shopping tonight and noticed a peculiar product on the shelf. Skippy Carb Options Peanut Butter. I know that low-carb works, but for crissakes! Peanut butter was INVENTED to provide a high-protein food to patients with digestive issues! I’ve sort of backed off on my criticisms of the low-carb craze but this is kisy too insane to let pass.
Oh, and if you were wondering, here’s how it stacks up:
Regular Skippy peanut butter contains 5g “net carbs” per 2 TBSP serving.
Carb Options Skippy has 3g “net carbs” per … well, I don’t know what the serving is, because the internets won’t tell me.
What a dirty trick!

I find it amusing when soda is marketed as carb free, especially when it’s standing right next to diet soda (which is already carb free).
The sad truth is most people don’t know how to read labels.
