Trying to eat healthier, (edit for me this means lower sugar, less carbs, more protein) and it seems like everything that is sweet, sweet-ish, or a snack but also sold as healthy has peanuts or is peanuts. I’m not allergic to it, but I am tired of peanut butter cookies, peanuts in a snack bar, peanuts on their own, peanuts in a snack mix.

    Peanuts are unbelievably inexpensive to grow, and are a solid option for nutrition and people tend to enjoy the flavor. So, y’know, sorry to all the allergic people.

      I was in a Thai restaurant once and overheard a woman actually say to the waiter “I’m allergic to peanuts, is there anything on the menu you’d recommend”. I left shortly afterwards so didn’t see if she died by breathing the air in there…

      I figured they had to be cheap. So many products skimp on everything else and put lots of peanuts or peanut butter in there

      I kept a bag of raw peanuts for a little too long once and they started to sprout. I stuck some in a planter and those things grew like crazy.
