NEW YORK – A United States senator from New York wants the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to review a caffeinated peanut butter product called STEEM, which is produced by a Greenfield, MA company.

The Associated Press reports that U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said the peanut butter may pose a health threat and a single serving of the product has five times more caffeine than a can of Coca-Cola.

Someone tell my why everything must be caffeinated nowadays...are we really THAT sluggish that we need a boost from everything we eat or drink? Jeez.

Really? Caffeine in peanut butter? It's not like the sugar in a PBJ doesn't already get little kids all hopped up and hyper. They don't need caffeine, too.

Are they using the peanut butter in energy bars?
