1. My sister explained to me today that peanut companies use.....
the "bad" peanuts, the ones that have mold and are "sick" peanuts, and cannot be bagged for consumption, in the manufacture of peanut butter. In other words, peanut companies DO NOT throw away bad, moldy peanuts. Ever.

I wonder if that also holds true for organic peanuts and peanut butter?

4. I love peanut butter too - and Reeses peanut butter but now it's come out that they

They're sick pigs.
