Peanut Butter Nut -- The Creamy vs. Crunchy Debate

Peanut butter is one of the most popular foods in the United States; Americans on average eat about three pounds of the nutty goodness every year, more than any other country in the world. Since the main choice of peanut butter is a binary one, it makes sense to hammer it out, once and for all, which is better -- creamy or crunchy peanut butter? The resolution here is that crunchy peanut butter is the better choice for three reasons:

I. It's more interesting, both in texture and appearance. Creamy butter is bland on both counts, whereas crunchy peanut butter has that wonderful crunch and simply looks like more is going on.
II. It's closer to the original product. Honestly, if you took out the word "peanut" from creamy peanut butter, how would you know if came from peanuts? On the other hand, every single bite of crunchy peanut butter makes it very clear exactly what food you're eating.
III. It's more nutritious. Overall, the two types are very similar except in a few cases, and that makes all the difference. Crunchy peanut butter has more fiber, folate, and potassium, and less saturated fat and sugar than does creamy peanut butter.

So for these reasons, crunchy peanut butter is clearly the right choice.
