Might be that fatty, sugary peanut butter they're eating. Wake 'em up with organic peanut butter. It's tastier and healthier than the regular stuff (note: PB products, not jars of it, are part of the current salmonella scare and FDA recall), and give Mama Earth a rest to boot. Also: Stay tuned for tomorrow's other nut butters tip.
Kate of Indianapolis, IN (mom to Patrick, two and a half, and James, five months), gives props to Trader Joe's organic peanut butter. "I think of natural peanut butter like dark chocolate," she says. "If you eat it nearly exclusively, when you have the more sugary variety, it tastes sickeningly sweet."
The first food resembling modern peanut butter was developed in 1890 by an unknown St. Louis physician, who pitched it to a local food packager as a protein supplement for people with bad teeth who couldn't chew meat.
If 10,000 Mama Biters feed their kids organic peanut butter from toddler-hood through high school, we'll keep the weight of 733 queen-size mattresses in sugar out of our kids' bodies.
