Who invented the peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Jim Bonner invented the Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich. Jim lives in Toronto and along his life's journey; he developed what is known to the world as the greatest sandwich combination since peanut butter and jam. Jim perfected Peanut Butter & Banana sandwiches during fatherhood as this became a favourite in the Bonner household. He knew the smooth yet thick texture of peanut butter could stand up to the sweetness of jam, so he decided to advance the sandwich with an alternate fruit addition. Many simple lunches have been spruced up with this now classic flavour combination. He is quite modest about his successes as the inventor of this amazing sandwich, but since the question is being asked, please note that Jim did in fact invent it. He only wants the world to enjoy this sandwich, and not the immeasurable success and triumph of his creation.

Is chunky peanut butter a homogeneous?

Depends in what context you mean "homogeneous". In an economics sense, you could classify "chunky peanut butter" as homogeneous if you wanted it to mean that all batches/brands of chunky peanut butter are essentially "interchangeable". (Whether that's a reasonable statement, I'm not sure. In the UK it is a reasonable assumption since peanut butter isn't really a "big thing" here, in the way that it seems to be in the US. I suspect the US market may feature slightly more brand loyalty than is experienced here...)

If you mean homogeneous in texture, chunky peanut butter is not a homogeneous substance, due to the "chunks". However smooth peanut butter would (or at least, "should", by definition) be homogeneous.

Does peanut butter contain protein?

No, peanut butter is not a protein, but it is made of proteins (and other types of molecules). The question is somewhat like asking whether a car is a tire. Cars and tires aren't equivalent, just like peanut butter and protein aren't equivalent; cars have tires, just like peanut butter has protein.

Peanut butter is made by mashing up peanuts, and peanuts are predominantly made of protein, fats, carbohydrates, and water. Cars are made by, well, you get the point... All that said, if you are asking whether peanut butter contains lots of protein, then that's another matter altogether. To answer that question accurately, you'd have to specify what qualifies as "lots of protein". But the general consensus is that peanuts (and therefore peanut butter) have a reasonably high amount of protein in them.

A similar question would be whether peanut butter is a good source of protein. The answer might be of particular value to vegetarians and the like, whose predominant source of protein is from non-meat food items. While peanut butter arguably contains a relatively high amount of protein, some might consider it a poor protein source. Some argue that to consume enough peanut butter to satisfy one's recommended protein intake would require the consumption of a large amount of fat (since in addition to containing lots of protein, peanuts also contain lots of fat). Like most foods, moderation is key.
