Suggested serving sizes have never been realistic. Manipulated by the manufacturer to make us think the food is lower in calories than it actually is.

In reality we all serve ourselves a fifth of a jar. List THOSE calories on the label please.

Yeah ‘serving size: three jelly beans’ or ‘one Oreo cookie’ are not realistic even for people who don’t actually binge them.

Peanut butter typically has a serving size of one or two tablespoons. That's entirely reasonable.

Just used a tablespoon of peanut butter right now. Pretty sure I've never used more than two unless I'm making a recipe for multiple people.

It's ok to admit you don't like peanut butter. Next you're going to tell us you only eat the smooth stuff, aren't you? 🤔

I'm actually a peanut butter purist. Only ingredients are peanuts and water.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

I find a pinch of salt helps to bring out the flavour and accentuates the roast. It's got to be crunchy though.

Maybe for someone with a peanut allergy. The rest of us are out here using cups.

I think these things should at least have the total calories also listed, and not just from multiplying the (frequently rounded down) serving size calories.
