Skippy versus Jif

Lately, I cannot drink at the frequency that I want to and still fit into my pants without modifying my diet or exercise. Since I can’t get my lazy butt to the gym and I can’t starve myself like I used to do in college, I have decided to eat healthier.

Healthier means that I try to eat more salads (yes, sometimes I do call nachos a salad) and less processed foods. This led me to Skippy Natural. It’s delicious shit and I’ve already gone through a few jars of it. Look at the ingredients: Palm Oil, Sugar, and Salt. Can’t get any more natural than that.

Well, last weekend the 20 cents cheaper Simply Jif got me to buy it. I seem to remember the commercials for it when it first came out said “only peanuts,” right? Well, look at the crap in it: partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, fully hydrogenated vegetable oils, mono- and diglycerides. That does not sound Simple to me at all. Oh yeah, and it tastes like shit.
