What are trans fats?
Trans fatty acids occur naturally in meat and dairy products. Trans fatty acids are produced during the hydrogenation of vegetable oil, a process that adds hydrogen to unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oil in order to change the fat from a liquid to a solid state.
Does Skippy peanut butter contain trans fats?
By U.S. FDA definition, Skippy peanut butter is a trans-fat free food.
Most commercial peanut butters contain small amounts (typically less than 2%) of a partially hydrogenated fat, which prevents oil separation by helping the peanut butter "set up" a fat structure. This partially hydrogenated fat is almost totally saturated and contains only an insignificant trace amount of trans fats.
Now for the record skippy peanut butter contains 13 grams of fat, 2 of which are saturated fats, per serving. It also contains 7 grams carbs and 7 grams protein, about the same as natural peanut butter. What reason would I have to say that this is unhealthy?

I think this may be proof Skippy Peanut Butter is healthy
If you always talk about how you could be in great shape if you just worked out and ate right, why don't you just work out and eat right?

Burritio you are forgetting that pretty much all Peanut Butter, natural or not, has at least 12 grams of fat per serving. Don't try to tell me there is a peanut butter with less than that per serving thats not a reduced fat carb added peanut butter.

Me? Hell no I choose not to eat pork for spiritual reasons (I am not that religious though, just no pork).
Even so NASTY! You have the George Forman Grill? You wouldn't even be able to think about drinking fat from any meat!If you always talk about how you could be in great shape if you just worked out and ate right, why don't you just work out and eat right?

Skippy actually has a natural variety now, but I like to get the no sugar added stuff because in general it is much better for you, I am surprised no one has pointed this out. Even Skippy's natural is sweetened, if sugar is according to your daily nutrition there should not be much of a problem, I avoid it whenever I can.

This is an illogical response. Your premise was "I think this may be proof Skippy Peanut Butter is healthy." You received a reply which included reasoning why he believed it was unhealthy and you rebutted it by telling him that is true for pretty much all peanut butter. So what? Comparing it to other brands is not how one determines if a food is healthy. Your last sentence is a straw man argument since BurritoJimmy didn't try to tell you any such thing.
Let me state for the record, before you also interpret my point differently than intended, that I am not saying peanut butter can not have a place in a healthy diet; I'm just stating reasons why your criteria for determining what's healthy is illogical.
