People are very attentive to peanut butter. I love the smooth and creamy “bad for you” kind that is loaded with sugars and ungodly hydrogenated oils. If you want peanut butter to act as a “health food,” natural foods are a better bet. Made with peanuts and sometimes a little salt, natural peanut butter doesn't contain any of the oils or stabilizers that keep it from separating. This can cause oil to build up at the top of the pot, which is an unattractive, but not insurmountable setback.
