Almond, Peanut, Nut "Butter", "Paste" or "Spread"?

With last week's conversation regarding the labeling of Rice, Almond & Soy "Milk" or "Drink", it inspired me to ask the same question of the label "Butter". 

Here's some food for thought.........

According to Wikipedia's definition of butter:

•Butter is a dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk. It is generally used as a spread and a condiment, as well as in cooking applications such as baking, sauce making, and frying. Butter consists of butterfat, water and milk proteins.

So should the label "butter" be used solely on products made by milk and cream?

If so, then should the following be changed?
Peanut Paste?  Almond Paste?  Nut Paste?  Cashew Spread?

And what about body butter?!

I'm curious what your opinion is on this!

How to Use Every Last Bit of Chocolate Peanut Butter

When I was growing up, my mom used every last bit of food we had in the house.  Nothing went to waste.  All food should be eaten.  I guess that's why we grew up eating cow liver, cow tongue, and cow tail soup from the beef we raised.  I'm proud now to say some of that way of thinking has rubbed off on me.  Oats in a jar is something that's all over the internet in the blogging world, but I had yet to try it myself, until today. 

I've been saving this empty jar of chocolate peanut butter.....yes it's chocolate peanut butter, just for the purpose of trying oats in a jar for breakfast. 

All I did was add a package of instant oatmeal to the empty jar of peanut butter, add my hot water and stir.

Definitely going to be added to my routine from now on. 

Mom will be proud.
