Can We Blame Jimmy Carter?

Considering how anti-Israel, pro-Arab, pro-Pseudistinian, former US President Jimmy Carter is, it would be nice to be able to blame him for fatal peanuts, the cause of America's fanatic, hyper-phobic peanut allergy. Today's American schools are obsessively peanut free, and I wish the media would do the same to Carter.

More people are murdered every year by Jimmy's Arab terrorist friends than die from peanuts, but we're expected to be nice to the Arab terrorists.

Soccer Dad sent me this article about the school bus that was evacuated over a peanut. Considering that the Carter fortune is from peanuts, shouldn't we be suspicious?

When I was growing up, mid-Twentieth Century, nobody heard of a peanut allergy. Peanut butter was a staple. If you needed to take a sandwich, peanut butter and jelly was the most popular. It had a long "shelf life," didn't spoil, leak or any other negatives. Peanut butter was relatively inexpensive and an affordable and filling protein for the poor.

Also, when I was a kid, we were forced to drink milk a few times a day, and nobody talked about milk allergies or lactose intolerance. Doctors and nutritionists of the time even accused kosher families of abusing their kids, because the parents refused to give their kids a glass of milk after each meal, including meat ones.

To counteract the serious acne many of my generation suffered from, most probably because of milk/lactose problems, the dermatologists prescribed sunbaths. The peeling skin was "cleansing" according to some doctors, whose patients, today, suffer more skin cancer.

Did fatal peanut allergies exist in the 1950's? Did they exist before Jimmy Carter began producing peanut seeds? Does anyone know?
