Happiness does not heal, but happiness protects against falling ill. As a result, happy people live longer. The size of the effect on longevity is comparable to that of smoking or not.

For 2 years The Joy Team has been putting PB & JOY Project peanut butter in the backpacks of kids living in food insecurity -- giving over 4,000 jars of joy-wrapped nutrition to kids who need it most in Clark County, Washington. Now we'd like everyone to be able to have it. And for every jar purchased, a jar goes to the Backpack program in the same town the jar was sold. Help us bring PB & JOY Project peanut butter to a shelf near you. Support our Indiegogo campaign here: http://igg.me/at/pbandjoy Together, we can feed two kinds of hunger. Thank you!
