But there do not really seem to be any trans fats to skip, in Curly Sues
post I read:

"The laboratory found no detectable trans fats in any of the samples,
with a detection limit of 0.01 percent of the sample weight."

And reading the full article at the link Curly Sue provided, I found this
elaboration:

"That means that a 32-gram serving of any of the 11 brands could contain
from zero to a little over three-thousandths (0.0032) of a gram of trans
fats without being detected."

And in any case, I'm not sure my kids (who prefer Skippy or Jif to
natural peanut butter) would accept wine or coffee and jelly sandwiches
as a substitute -- although they might like chocolate and jelly ones.
