Default Unsweetened peanut butter

Why is it so hard to find? Every brand has some form of sugar as the
2nd ingredient after peanuts. Even the "natural" pb's are "peanuts,
sugar, palm oil, and salt" (they took out some of the good peanut oil
and replaced it with nasty greasy palm oil) I guess it's natural
because they used sugar instead of HFCS, and palm oil instead of
hydrogenated soybean oil. Sweetened PB works just fine for cooking, but
not for eating on a cracker. I used to make my own, (the new blender
made me think of it again) the trick will be finding salted dry roasted
peanuts without a lot of MSG and yeast extract and dextrose and crap
added.

The best peanut butter I've ever eaten was made in the store at a
Kroger's many years ago. They had a peanut grinder with a big hopper of
redskin peanuts and you ground however much you wanted into a plastic
carton. I liked the gritty texture from the skins -- although a big
part of it might have been the novelty.
