Wisconsin Stores Carry America’s Worst Peanut Butter Brand

What was your favorite snack to have after school?

The best feeling in the world as a kid, would be opening up your lunchbox at lunchtime and seeing your mom's peanut butter and jelly sandwich that she made just for you.

For me, it needed to be on white bread, have grape jelly smeared all across the inside, and smooth Jif peanut butter coating the other side of the sandwich.

Now, I'm getting kind of hungry...

But as adults, we know a little more about what goes into our food, and not all peanut butters are as wholesome as we might hope.
