This weekend, Laurence told me about what some of her colleagues snack on: slices of apples smothered in peanut butter!
In an attempt to ascertain the dietary value of this healthy snack, we consulted my 48oz jar of Costco-brand peanut butter. This states - and I'm not exaggerating here - that a 32g (2 tbsp.) serving of peanut butter contains fully 16g of saturated fat. In other words, half of it is pure, unadulterated blubber. What's more, said jar reliably informs us that this corresponds to 25% of your recommended daily intake.
Given that Laurence is sure her colleagues put at least twice that much peanut butter on their apples, they must be consuming half (if not more) of their recommended dose of fat simply filling in time between meals!
