Why Does Most of the World HATE Peanut Butter?
Self | March 25, 2017 | PJ-Comix

Posted on 03/25/2017 2:01:39 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

The other days I got the munchies for peanut butter so I put some on bread and enjoyed it. I also like peanut butter in ice cream as well as cookies. Also I like peanut butter shakes. Okay, by now you guessed it...I like peanut butter. And I'm sure most of you do too.

So my big question is why does most of the rest of the world HATE peanut butter while it is very popular with North Americans (Americans and Canadians)? I read that peanut butter is so hated by most of the rest of the world that once some aid organization sent crackers and peanut butter to some starving nation and the folks rejected it.

There has to be a reason why North Americans love peanut butter while most of the rest of the world hates the stuff.

I love Costco’s Kirkland brand natural peanut butter. The best!

I have some homemade banana bread and I think I’ll spread some on it.

My husband buys super chunky but I prefer smooth. We haven’t discussed that yet.

....with the pretzels it’s easy, especially
with the frozen ones from the supermarket.
I have one of those Nuwave ovens...works pretty good...I apply the salt, mid way through the browning,takes minutes

Even the British hate British food, which is why Indian curry has been elevated to national cuisine

I submit that the only reason the British Empire exists is because they were looking for a decent meal.

The proof?

Where did they end up? India and China!

“A friend, as a kid, thought it said, “If you like bean enchiladas.””

I’m going to try to remember that one.

Not as good as “The girl with Colitis goes by...” (”The girl with kaleidoscope eyes”) but still funny.

Peanut allergies?

It is, perhaps, worth noting that vaccinations are designed to stimulate the body's immune system to recognize proteins on a particular disease causing organism.

These proteins are expensive to isolate a purify. In order to be able to vaccinate the maximum number of children with the most affordable vaccine "adjuvants" are added to a vaccine to modify the immune response by boosting it such as to give a higher amount of antibodies and a longer-lasting protection.

One of the common adjuants is peanut oil.

Repeatedly stimulate the immune system with disease proteins, associate those immune response with peanuts and then be astonished that peanut allergies are becoming progressively more and more common...

This whole thing is a witch hunt. An opportunity to scare someone. The media has been doing it for years. And you’ll notice the following article is tied in with one of the most liberal rags out there, the NY Times:

Rosanne Bloom and her family had just settled into their seats on a flight from Philadelphia to Turks and Caicos Islands on Christmas morning when two airline employees ordered Dr. Bloom, her husband and two boys off the plane. Their luggage had already been removed.

The problem? Dr. Bloom had informed the crew that her teenage sons had severe nut allergies.

“I said, ‘We have our medicine. We brought our own food, and we’re comfortable staying on the plane.’ I offered to sign a waiver,” said Dr. Bloom, an orthodontist in Clarksville, Md. “We were off the plane in two minutes.”

Matt Miller, a spokesman for American Airlines, said such decisions are left to the pilot. “The pilot determined it would be best for the family not to travel based on the severity of the allergy and the need to divert the airline if anyone were eating nuts,” he said.

They had it under control, it wasn’t broke, don’t fix it.

I have allergies to dogs, cats and sheep, amongst other things, pertinent to a severe asthma/COPD patient. I can’t stop the world for my needs or wants in my life and everyone else in the world. So I take medication, I move on. I can’t wear wool clothing, and I try to stay away from cats and dogs. But in a pinch, like in an aircraft, my meds take over so as not to disturb anything.

The airlines, over the years, have made a big thing about the use of nebulizers on aircraft. And I have seen where they would rather turn on the oxygen and try to keep someone alive, not trained obviously as a strong attack with oxygen, and no drugs, is like trying to put out a 50 acre forest fire with a single extinguisher. Won’t happen every time. But they are so afraid of the drug being used, and there are a couple, that they would rather divert the aircraft and hope to keep the afflicted passenger alive, long enough to get to the ground. Somehow I’m not real trustworthy of their skills here. I carry one in my carry on luggage in a medical bag. Never had to use it myself. But on a flight from Washington State to Florida I almost got it out for another passenger until the stew told me he was doing okay by his words. And we were only a few minutes from Orlando, so it worked out.

They just have to scare someone, don’t they?

“The live for your fear. They control with fear.”

I keep thinking that if the people that make up or twist facts to try to scare or infuriate people to their way of thinking would apply themselves to something productive, what a better world this would be.

They could cure many illnesses that plague the world like aids, cancer, or even the common cold. They could help with ideas to slow world hunger. They might even figure out a good health plan that is helpful while not being intrusive. They could figure out how to change our ideas on inflicting pain for the wrong reasons or teach people in the world that harming for skin color, religion, or gender is not the answer to our future. It may not be easy for them, but it would be productive for the world and not damaging for anyone. So instead of being destructive, why not be constructive? Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of man? But it would be so easy to stop.
