Answers: None other than the messiah, Jesus Christ.

I think George Washington Carver... he's one that invented everything peanut.

George Washington Carver is the most recent "inventor".

According to Adam Howard's book, Peanuts: The Illustrious History of the Goober Pea (University of Illinois Press, 2002) the earliest candidate for the invention of peanut butter was Rose Davis who lived in Alligerville, New York, in the 1840s. According to New York historian Eleanor Rosakranse, writes Smith, "Rose Davis' son, Ross, traveled to Cuba, where he saw women grind peanuts and smear the paste on bread. Ross told his mother about the practice, and she employed the peanut paste for making sandwiches.".

In 1890, George A. Bayle, Jr. began to sell ground peanut paste as a vegetarian protein supplement for people with bad teeth. In 1893, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg originated an early variety of peanut butter at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan. Kellogg, along with his brother, Will Keith Kellogg, patented a process for making peanut butter in 1895, but it used steamed peanuts rather than roasted peanuts. Contrary to popular belief, the agronomist George Washington Carver did not actually play a role in the creation of modern-day peanut butter.

Mr P. Butter, His name was actually Percival, contrary to the popular belief that his mother actually named him Peanut. That's just a nickname for obvious reasons.

That man was a saint :)
