No anger and no offence, I assure you. As you said I am only speaking to the "spirit of the forum". Nothing wrong with contacting people privately at all...it's just that it would be nice to share some with the rest of the forum so that others can benefit or help. I can understand your desire not to be too verbose since I tend to do the same thing. I make an effort to be concise but personally I would rather see a wordy person who is really trying to help instead of someone who inserts a one liner just to get his post counts up! But back to the thread...

Pesonally, I love hot sauce on my food. But I actually use it to stimulate and increase my appetite and it seems to do just that. Similar to bitter foods and herbs.

On the peanut butter and this whole "reduced fat" thing. Have you not noticed that in processed foods reduced fat means more added sugar?

Look at natty pb:

Calories: 180
Calories from fat 140 (12% from sat fat as opposed to 24%)

Fat: 15g (only 2.5 sat fat) as opposed to 12g (with 2.5 g sat)...
The reduced fat has INCREASED the % of saturated fat?

Carbs:
6 g (1g sugars0 as opposed to 15g (with 4g sugar)
This is self explanatory.

Protein:
7 g

Leaving out the jelly and bread part of it and just speaking of NATTY peanut butter: Is it a HEALTHY snack? I'd say hell yes and most nutritionists would agree provided you have no peanut allergies. Whether it fits into a diet is up to the individual but I don't think a serving of pb in itself would be a bad idea as long as it didn't tip the calorie scale. You get a very low GI, you get protein, you get healthy fats...as far as the pb&j goes I certainly agree.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
