I eat peanuts by the pound. I go through a 5 pound bag of unshelled peanuts (unsalted) at least every two weeks as well as a jar or two of peanut butter (I like the crunchy peanut butter with the oil on top).

When I was in elementary school (way back in early 1970s), my mother packed peanut butter sandwiches in a Partridge Family lunchbox, usually with a Twinkie or a banana (both were considered healthy back then) and a thermos full of whole milk.

Never heard of a peanut allergy back then.

I have no idea what happened since. I don't deny that people have peanut allergies but what changed? This was never a problem back then.

LOL....my big sis had the same lunchbox and we took same lunch as you, pretty much. Only I preferred Little Debbies :-)

And, I also don’t recall ANY classmates having peanut allergies.
