To those that are allergic to peanuts...don’t eat them.

Now that we’ve covered this clearly...shut the hell up.

Thanks in advance,

Badeye

I am actually not certain how many people are actually allergic to peanuts. We have a neighbor who claims her daughter is allergic to peanuts and has had them banned from the local public schools...and not just peanuts but peanut butter and all other products that have peanuts in them. Her claim is that her daughter will go into shock and may die if she comes in contact with any peanut product.

The other day I saw the daughter with her friends sharing a box of Girl Scout peanut butter cookies. There was no shock. I was surprised but stayed around for about an hour to make certain there would be no reaction.

Then I realized, her mother is about 40 years old which means the mother was born around 1969 and would have been between 8 and 12 during the Carter years when peanut butter was a staple in many if not most struggling households. I was in my late 20s and early 30s and ate a ton of peanut butters which was plentiful and relatively inexpensive as Carter drove our economy into ruin.

Flame away all you people who think that the percentage of people with life-threatening peanut allergies has quintupled since 1991. And I can save you a lot of time. You can also flame me for noting that there is no scientific evidence that vaccines cause Autism while you are at it.

You don’t need to eat them to be effected in a closed environment with your air going everywhere you can give a person next to you or several rows back an anaphylactic reaction... but hey at least you got peanuts right..
