Well, honestly I don't think the cool whip is a big deal I just think it's silly to worry about the difference between organic and reg peanut butter and then use something like cool whip. I take it you mean "natty" peanut butter versus "organic" since they are not necessarily the same thing.

As far as the trans fat if you look at you typical jar of regular PB it contains about the same amount of fats as a jar of natty and O GRAMS TRANS FAT. Course it's the added sugar and trans fat that makes us avoid the reular peanut butter. Now you guys are saying that lite cool whip has O grams of trans fat..meaning less than one gram...but you're negating one reason not to use regualar peanut butter plus the primary ingredients in cool whip which are high fructose corn syrup, etc. In effect I don't see the point of embracing cool whip as an added ingredient but everyone preaching natty pb.

May as well just add regular PB to PP or use one of the new types with a little palm oil added, which is not big deal they just require no mixing. That will still be "healthier" than the cool whip. Not that that little amount of cool whip is a big deal. My point is only that this concoction is no more healthy than the same concoction made with reg pb without the cool whip, assuming that would mix better.

I don't think the recipe is all that bad or anything. It's just that you are worried about using natty over regular PB and then you are adding something that basically makes it the same thing.

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