And almost NO child had asthma nor a peanut allergy back then.

Asthma started with wall-to-wall carpeting.

No it didn't!

I grew up with wall to wall ( except in the bedrooms, where it was NEEDED! ), and that was the norm...not the exception!

In my entire school life, first grade through grad school, I knew exactly one, ONE KID, who had asthma.
