Two weeks later, you find a report that the cookie company used peanut oil in their process. Who's to blame? Guess what? "You are." Simple because it's all your fault for not reading the fine print.

No, you are to blame because if you are that freaking allergic to peanuts, you should not be stupid enough to be eating anything you didn't prepare from scratch yourself, or have verified beyond a shadow of a doubt is "peanut free".  It is reckless for you to simply pick up a pack of cookies, and with a cursory glance at the label, eat them when you know that the difference between life and death, or walking around normal and a hospital stay, is trace amount of peanut oil.

My health should not depend on reading the fine print on a food package.

Of course it should.  Manufacturers are responsible for making a good faith effort to inform you of the ingredients used in their manufacturing process.  However, you are still ultimately responsible for ensuring that it is safe for you as an individual to eat because those same manufacturers cannot foresee every problem that might ensue from the use or misuse (which is what I would call you eating that cookie) of their product.

The point I'm trying to make is how is anyone supposed to figure out that there would be some sort of danger to your heath in something so unrelated as a chocolate chip cookie.

The same thing happened to me and I don't have any allergies. Do you even know what Hydrogenated oil is if you weren't told? Until that article about the Oreo cookies was printed, I'll bet, unless you were a chemist or doctor, you never heard of it.
