May 4, 2012 – 230 days Until Baktun 12

Survivalist Tip: Yesterday I mentioned crackers.  Aside from salads and soups, few things go better with crackers than peanut butter.  Peanuts are indigenous to South America where they were first cultivated around 950 B.C.  Even the Aztecs considered them a viable food source, feeding them to sacrificial victims days before the carnage fest.  John Kellogg (of corn flakes fame) actually invented peanut butter in 1890, and it’s been a popular food staple ever since.  But, peanut butter isn’t just for kids.  It’s packed with Vitamin E, magnesium and potassium, and therefore, a good source of protein.  Although it has roughly 180 to 210 calories per serving, that’s almost completely fiber, which ultimately gives you that full feeling you’d normally get from gorging at a Chinese buffet.  It has plenty of the “good fat,” or monounsaturated fat, meaning it doesn’t clog your arteries or give you gas.  Peanut butter can last a long time, so you don’t have to worry about spoilage.  Unless you’re allergic to peanuts, I’d recommend buying case loads of peanut butter.  Eating lots of it will appease the souls all those victims of human sacrifice.
