"We should burn every peanut plant on earth and every other pollen producing plant and kill all the bees. Little boys should be castrated in case something bad happens. Let's make the world safe."-Ingotus. Seriously, think about this and how stupid it sounds. If the allergic to peanuts population grows and we extrapolate into the future, the peanut will become a weapon of mass destruction if re-introduced into the population.. It's unfortunate that some people are born like this but trying to control nature is not right. The reason it happens is because the more we are incompatible with nature the more we fit into the machine.

It's already gotten to a point that if ragweed grows on my lawn in my hometown you get a fine. It just doesn't make sense to me. That we should use energy to broadcast information about allergens in the air or give jobs to people to enforce this is preposterous.

It's sad but when I look at Americans and their "bad" fat diet of trans fat and sugar I notice that a lot of women and men seem to have a "good" lipid deficiency, it appears in the form of extra thin lips. You don't believe me look around it's especially prevalent in the Caucasian girls that are always dieting. I would go so far as to say this lipid deficiency also causes mental problems such as depression and lower IQ. The biggest diet secret ever is that if you eat good fats like those in nuts you will never gain weight and won't be constantly hungry because you actually
