Peanut butter and jelly is horrible for you. Peanut butter just has a bunch of sugar in it.

That may be true for some brands. Smuckers (the kind in my fridge) contains only peanuts and salt.

As it is the brand in mine but a lot of people eat that trash, Jiffy, or Skip for example, and you might as well just each a candy bar at that point.

You keep saying this, but if you browse the Peanut Butter's here http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-j-m-creamy-natural-pe...

You'll find that most commercial peanut butters only have 2g or so more of sugar per serving then their natural counterparts.

The serving size for peanut butter is also around 2T (~30g) so that 2g of sugar is basically going to double the sugar content of the serving...

Yeah but 3g is < 10% of the 40g of recommended sugar in a day and way less then the 50g in a Snickers bar.

My guilty snack - peanut butter and nutella sandwiched between two tortillas.

I call it the Tortilla Abomination.

A very interesting typo-- Jif or Skippy, I think you mean.

I'd be more worried about the partially hydrogenated soybean oil isn't so great.
