I would have stapled bags of peanuts on every one of those signs.

I grew up in peanut country. Teens would help plant and harvest peanuts. There would be peanut dust everywhere. That was also in the days of government peanut butter. If you didn’t have grind your own pb, then you had government bp because they handed it out to everyone. Every school lunch tray had some form of peanuts on it every day - pb cookies, a dollop of pb with apple slices, pb and honey with a buttery yeast roll, pb with veggie sticks, etc. No ever heard of peanut allergies. Fast forward to when our kids were little, the church preschool had the kids grow peanuts in Styrofoam cups. There are peanuts that need harvesting in the garden today that came from those cups. And through all these years, no one has died.

Not saying there aren’t SOME out there who are allegoric. People are allergic to various things but the number of helicopter mommies claiming their millions of kids are all allergic to peanuts is ridiculous. Doctors came out this summer stating the obvious, expose your kids to peanuts, dirt, animals, etc. and your kids will be healthier.

The allergic kids must not be Scots-Irish. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
