Actuallly, peanut butter is supposed to be good for you (at least the kinds without all the added sugar/high fructose corn syrup)—I went to a nutritionist several years ago because of my thyroid problem and trying to lose weight...I’d given up peanut butter because of the high fat content, and she told me no, I needed to eat *more* p.b. because it has the good kind of fat that helps control cholesterol, etc.!

So here’s a spoonful of p.b. held up in salute for you! Not a bad midnight snack after all! :-)

Exactly. I'm diabetic, so we only buy the No Sugar Added varieties. When I got diagnosed several years ago, I had to attend a clinic for it, and found out that, while nuts do have a fair amount of fats in them, there are a lot of nutritional benefits as well, just as you said. A little peanut butter in the middle of the night is healthier for you than a ham sammich with Miracle Whip. LOL
