The powerful anti-peanut lobby: -
02-16-2009, 08:33 PM
The radical anti-peanut groups are at it again. Just because they are allergic to the lowly peanut they think that the rest of us should be deprived from our God-given right to snack on those tasty legumes.
Who knows what the next allergy-lobby group is going to try to outlaw next. Maybe the cardio-nuts will try to ban salt.

Peanuts on Northwest Airlines prompt protests
- Story Highlights
- Months after airlines merger, many in Minneapolis have peanut-allergy concerns
- Minneapolis Web site inundated with responses: "What's wrong with pretzels?"
- Delta says it will accommodate passengers who make a request
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The return of peanuts to the snack menu at Northwest Airlines this month has prompted a spasm of protests from travelers with allergies. The change comes four months after Northwest merged with Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines and in the midst of a national salmonella outbreak involving Peanut Corporation of America. Georgia, where the company has a plant, is the top peanut-producing state in the country.
Northwest began handing out the goobers as snacks on February 1, as Delta has been doing for years. In Minneapolis, where Northwest is based, news of the change has resulted in a flood of responses on the Web site of the Star Tribune, a local newspaper.
"This is a very disappointing development," wrote one man who responded to the story. "My wife's allergy is so severe that if someone is sitting next to her and eating peanuts, the odor is enough to trigger an allergic reaction." "Northwest is really out of touch with its customers and the reality of allergies to peanuts," wrote another reader. "What's wrong with pretzels?"
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 3 million Americans are allergic to peanuts or tree nuts, while nearly 7 million are allergic to seafood. Combined, food allergies cause 30,000 cases of anaphylaxis, 2,000 hospitalizations and 150 deaths annually.
Delta says it will make accommodations for those with peanut allergies, if a request is made. "We'll create a buffer zone of three rows in front of and three rows behind your seat," the airline's Web site says. "We'll also advise cabin service to board additional nonpeanut snacks, which will allow our flight attendants to serve these snack items to everyone within this area."

Now that I have thought about it, I think I'm going to be allergic to women pilots from now on.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Woah, woah, woah. I'm pretty certain the anti-peanut movement is on our side. After all, peanuts are the cheapest form of protein out there, and they aren't meat - peanuts are a vegetarians best friend. Get rid of peanuts and the next cheapest form of protein is weiners and tuna. And don't you remember that President Carter was a peanut farmer?
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!

I have heard that Monsanto is working on a genetically engineered peanut that doesn't contain the allergens. Once they get FDA approval, then we can expect the food manufacturers to start using the new peanuts instead. Monsanto will have a monopoly, so peanuts will be profitable again. People who claim to be "working for peanuts" will have to come up with a new cliche.

IDK, if you pay peanuts, you're still likely to get monkeys, except that they won't be dying from anaphylactic shock.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

I for one am sick and tired of all these whiner liberals (egged on by big jewery) who claim to have all these allergies. People are scrambling all over each other to come up with new ways of being victims, looking for that next lawsuit or government handout. How can that lady be allergic to the smell of peanuts? That's just ridiculous!
If people are allergic to things, they should be forced to carry a notarized certification from their pastor as proof positive.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

These people with alleged life threatening allergies are, by and large, attention seeking drama-queens throwing hysterical fits because they were denied the breast as a child or some such. I never knew a True Christian who wouldn't eat peanuts!
Truth be know if anyone really has an allergy, they should have been smitten by God at birth – by humoring these faddy eaters and pandering to their obsessions, all we will succeed in doing is breeding a whole mess of people with allergies – eventually all the nation’s wealth will go on supporting these idiots with fancy diets.
As Romans threw babies in the Tiber, we should be dragging neonates through a pile of peanuts – if this self-centered, namby-pamby, mollycoddling isn’t stopped now, there will be no end to so-called allergies – it will become as much of a deathstyle as homerism!

If I bring my peanuts, I wonder what they'll do?
TSA drags you off the plane?

An undisclosed source told me that Al Queda is planning to streal a crop-duster and spray peanut sauce onto the superbowl. Go you know how many people would die if they were emboldended enough to do that?
