Sen. Chuck Schumer and Benjamin Netanyahu have been mum about their meeting Monday night in Washington.
It could be because the meeting between the Israeli head of state and one of the lone Democrat Senators to oppose Obama on the nuclear deal might not look good after Netanyahu’s chummy get-together with the president earlier in the day.
Or it could be because Schumer is too busy battling the scourge of caffeinated peanut butter.
The New York lawmaker is urging the FDA to examine safety risks associated with STEEM peanut butter, which he says contains five time as much caffeine as a can of Coke.
“Caffeinated peanut butter should spur the agency to address the issue of caffeine,” Schumer said Sunday, according to CBS News. “They should put limits on how much is allowed, particularly in snack foods … And they should certainly require warning labels.”
