I’m visting the USA, and notice many bulletins, and on food preparations, SAYS THIS WAS PREPARED IN KITCHENS WHERE THERE ARE NO NUTS. In all honesty, do they think they know WHY all of these peanut allergies all of a sudden are showing up..It does seem to be common, what gives?

Not knocking anyone who has a food allergy..

But IMHO Many people today have a Allergy to Sanity.

I'd like to know where it came from as well. Growing up, I never heard of this type of allergy. PB & J was a school staple.

I love peanuts. Out of the shell, out of the can, peanut butter straight out of the jar.

I'd be real *issed if they started banning them.

There has to be some scientific reason for this upsurge in peanut allergies.

(not an answer to your question but...) I used to work with a man who was deathly allergic to NUTS but could eat peanuts, because (he said) that peanuts are PEAS not nuts. Anyone know?
