As a lawyer I thought your vulture instincts would trigger your memory
of the young lady in Pennsylvania who died as a result of eating chili
that was made with peanut butter. It's been awhile but if I remember
correctly the family got enough to bury her, the tavern owner and his
insurance company were picked clean and the only winners were the
lawyers ( on both sides of course). That incident and others have
lead to the labeling of foods such that one may know they are "peanut
free". . The are several reason for all this: 1.) There seem to be
more people who have allergic reactions to peanuts ( and other nuts)
2.) There is still a lawyer under every rock, and 3.) Processors are
putting peanuts in food and not listing as an ingredients
Have you noticed that you don't get peanuts ( or anything now for that
matter) on airplanes anymore? Have you noticed the "peanut free"
labels on foods?
I understand the military does not accept anyone with an allergy to
nuts of any kind. The next generation of Chicken hawks won't have to
be embarrassed with saying they had a Pilonidal Cyst, their family
doctor can just certify them allergic to nuts.
