I probably easily spent 15 minutes staring at the jams and peanut butters in the grocery store. So many choices! (One reason I prefer Trader Joe's, Sprouts, or Whole foods.)<br /><br />It was inordinately tricky to find jam (strawberry) without high fructose corn syrup or fake sweetener. About as hard as it was to find peanut butter (smooth) that was just peanuts & salt. Even a lot of the brands with "natural" in their name had fillers.Marcianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-41478358887843846442017-08-22T04:56:32.363-07:002017-08-22T04:56:32.363-07:00tl;dr People (and companies) generally don't d...tl;dr People (and companies) generally don't do things that don't make sense from their perspective.
