We've told the story of how the official make-up/recipe for
Peanut Butter included shortening and sugar

I don't know about solid shortening but certainly other vegetable
oils besides peanut oil including partially hydrogenated ones are
allowed as is both salt and sugar.

so if one just sold peanuts ground into a butter one had to
call it something other than peanut butter

But that part certainly isn't true. I just checked two labels
on-line. Kraft peanut butter contains roasted peanuts, soybean oil,
corn maltodextrin, sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oil (cotton seed
and rapeseed oil), salt, and mono and diglycerides. President's
Choice peanut butter contains nothing but roasted ground peanuts.

And that 2% milk is allowed to use coconut oil to
bring the fat content up to the requisite 2%....

Not in my country they don't! Our milk has no additives (except of
course in sweetened chocolate milk) and it's tested regularly to
make sure it's growth hormone free and has no detectable amounts of antibiotics. Dairy purity is one of the sticky points in the new
free trade treaty that may replace NAFTA soon.

Truly bizarre:

... They rejected my post on the spurious grounds I don't know anything.

My comment was historical... and I have also observed that it appears to
have been changed to the more reasonable allowing just ground peanuts to
be called peanut butter...

And that 2% milk is allowed to use coconut oil to

Things may be changing in our country also.... certainly some brands
seem to be more careful... but again, that at least had been happening
here... and didn't need to show it on the label, which was my original point.... :)
