Allergies

Filed under: Opinion

It has bee a routine service for years, that airlines hand out little bags of peanuts during their flights. Especially during short hops.
Northwest Airlines is under attack by people with peanut allergies.

Now, I was born in the 50’s. You know. Lead paint on the windows, asbestos in the ceiling of the school, and mercury thermometers that you occasionally bit in half and DDT.
How is it, that within the last 20 years, peanut allergies have gone through the roof. Hell, that’s all most of us ate.

We weren’t even Lactose intolorent. Is it the hormones in the beef? Is it the spray they use on peanuts?
What the hell is going on?

If anyone has the answers, I’d sure like to hear them. BTW, The excuse that they have always had peanut allergies and didn’t know what they were won’t wash. I was tested in 1960 for every allergy you can think of including peanuts.
