So much fluff!

An AOL headline this morning directed me to an article about--of all things--Fluffernutters. Seems a Massachusetts state senator was unhappy to find out that his son's elementary school was serving Fluffernutters to the students. He called for a halt to such sugary, nonnutricious sandwiches, made of Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter. Not to be outdone, a state representative proposed a bill naming Fluffernutter as the state sandwich. Seems the Fluffy Stuff is made locally, in Lynn, Mass. The article informed me that a two-tablespoon serving of Fluff is 60 calories. (By the way, while at the grocery store, I checked a jar of a marshmallow spread product to find that, unlike marshmallows, it has no gelatin involved and is kosher even for vegans.) By comparison, the same serving of jelly, which is the usual companion of peanut butter in a sandwich, has about 100 calories, and honey, another possibility, has nearly 130. Of course, you could always opt for a banana!
