Combine two parts self-importance, one part poker, and add a healthy splash of sarcasm. Bake in the fiery heat of righteousness and serve piping hot. Expect indigestion.

I have no idea. But, I believe it's the reason we don't get peanuts on airplanes anymore!!! And that's some b***s***! I don't want f*****' pretzels, I want some f*****' peanuts!
I imagine it was one f*****' Mom that wasn't watchin' her nerd of a child when the little booger stole a little bag of something he was allergic to from the ghey flight attendent's passing cart, and the kid goes into some allergic shock at 50,000 feet... leading to the whole industry deciding that pretzels are a safer means to keep hungry passengers' mouths shut while they stay cramped into quarters not fit for sardines...

Science.
Always science rearing its sucky head.
Something about this whole "exposing kids to peanuts early causes the allergy" thing rings stupid with me. It seems to me that exposure to a substance would allow the body to build a resistance to it. Then again, I'm not using science.
There was an article in Time or Newsweek. It's because things are so clean. The kids today live in a more sterile environment and as such, their body overreacts to allergens. There are apparently proof that kids that grow up on farms are less prone to being allergic because their body is fighting more germs and so they don't really have time to bother with allergens.
