Who eats more peanut butter? Me your average 2nd grade kid?

Me. Hands down. I think I have a problem. I can’t remember the last day that I didn’t have at least one peanut butter (and jelly or honey or banana or some combination) sandwich. And then there are the plain spoonfuls and the other “vehicles” I find to help get peanut butter into my mouth – apples, celery, rice cakes, etc.

This nasty kid might have me beat though:

(somehow he is the first image that comes up in a Google image search for peanut butter)
I wonder if anyone’s ever done a study of what percentage of your “normal” triathlete or endurance athlete’s diet consists of peanut butter.
