Agree.  We just buy a giant container of peanuts and throw them in the blender.  Voila, peanut butter.
Govt standard that you can't call it peanut butter unless it contains 95% or more peanuts. Anything under has to be called peanut spread >

Well shit. I've been buying Skippy Natural thinking it was the good stuff but I just went and read the ingredients. Peanuts, sugar, palm oil and salt. I could live with the sugar but I try not to buy palm oil stuff. Well, I'll finish this tub because it is tasty but I'll read labels before I buy more. >

Skippy and Jiff is legitimately awful peanut butter lol >

As a resident of the 'peanut capitol of the world', I can assure you that regular peanut butter is made from the same stuff as natural peanut butter, it just has something added in as a stabilizer. >

By definition it is, though. Your opinion is that non “natural” peanut butter is bad. >

Tell me you pay extra for organic without telling me you pay extra for organic. >

Are ground-up peanuts not peanuts? 🤔 >

It’s that they are replacing the natural peanut oils with the cheapest oil they can find. So it’s kind of the same but not really. >

If it’s a butter and has peanuts it is peanut butter. Whether it’s just a stick of butter with peanuts in it, or my yummy Kraft peanut butter, or the stuff between my toes, it’s still peanut butter. >

Natural peanut butter is fucking nasty. Gimme that JIF, baby! >

Amen to that. Real peanut butter comes in 1KG tubs and has 1 or 2 ingredients (the second being salt)
Love it when you need to stir the separated oil back in. >

Now THAT'S an unpopular opinion! >

Most mashed potatoes is not real mashed potatoes. It's just boiled potatoes ground up with butter and milk.
Most pie crust are not real pie crust. It's just ground up wheat with butter and sugar.
Most coffee is not real coffee. It's just ground up coffee beans with water.
I'd like to see you make pasta without making a powder beforehand OP. >

>Most mashed potatoes is not real mashed potatoes
Maybe at a shitty buffet or fast food restaurant, but most people make mashed potatoes by using legitimate potatoes that have been boiled and mashed without the dehydrating process being used.
You literally made zero sense with any of these points, OP is saying that anything that isn't a natural peanut butter isn't legitimately peanut butter because it relies on using an oil that isn't naturally present in a high fat peanut, using dehydrated peanut powder and infusing it with a cheaper oil doesn't suddenly negate that point.
None of the points you made make any relevant sense to this argument, no one is arguing that there's a more 'real' way of making any of the items that you mentioned with the exception of mashed potatoes--which is a very clear distinction that people make. No one buys instant mash and thinks it's in any way equivalent to homemade mash potatoes. >

Yeah. You have to watch out for trick term. Peanut spread, chocolaty ice cream. >

Chocolaty frozen dairy dessert >

In my local supermarket, the cheapest peanut butter is Richard's. Ingredients: peanuts. 
I believe what the other companies are doing is extracting the peanut oil and replacing it with canola or some other trash so they can cut costs by 1.3c per package. >

Correct >
