Beware of "Spread"
The word "spread" should be a red flag in the grocery store. I don't want to sound stuck up, but if you're mistakenly buying something that you think is something else and it is in fact "spread", you may be setting yourself up for some unpleasant stomach issues. A good indication, in addition to the fact that the word "spread" should be clearly visible on the label, is that the label will also boast about the fact that the product really tastes like what it is mimicking. For example. Peanut spread is a substitute for peanut butter. It may have something on the label like, "With Real Peanut Taste!" Butter products are another popular one. I'm not saying that one is better than the other. To each his own, and if you enjoy processed "spread" as a substitute for the real thing, more power to you. But a little piece of advice. When you're at the store picking up your "spread", you may want to make a quick detour on your way to the register and visit the paper products aisle...
