John,
Makes you wonder about the sheer amount of crud that goes into non-fast food products at the grocery store. Sometimes reading the label on a product is like trying to solve a word problem on a math test written in a backwards mash of three or more foreign languages.

Recently I bought peanut butter that had exactly one ingredient, peanuts -- this cost about 40% more ($7 vs $5) vs. the major brand (I think it was Skippy) that had at least a dozen things that I could not identify.
Skippy ingredients: peanuts, sugar and hydrogenated vegetable oils, including cottonseed, rapeseed and soybean oils, and salt.
So: peanuts, oil, sugar and salt. What are the other eight plus ingredients?
