I'm not allergic to them, but the thought makes my stomach turn. I ate too many of those back in my younger days.

I am allergic to all things peanut. Even things fried in peanut oil.. It isn't all bad, you just have to be careful and sniff anything offered to you. Especially cookies and baked goods. So many people don't understand peanut allergy and continue to offer peanut "things" with abandon. Seemingly unaware that to part of the population they are offering pure poison. Think about that a bit. Say you were immune to a particular poison, but continued putting it in food and offering it in social settings to others knowing full well you would be poisoning them to the extent they might just have a reaction and die right in front of you. It is just a matter of the percentage of the population that can consume this poison. The percentage of the population that can consume the poison and have a reaction is small. And the percentage that will die right in front of you is smaller still. But it is a percentage.

Fortunately most of us can detect the peanut in the product before we stick it in our mouth. About 6 months ago I consumed a cookie offered and being distracted I did not notice it at first. I noticed it in about a minute. But I discontinued consuming, and washed my my mouth and throat out and suffered for about 2 hours. But did not die. I didn't consume enough to puke either, which is what I usually do. BUT thoughtless people still make peanut butter cookies and offer them to people they do not know.

If you were to ask me, you should never make another peanut butter cookie or other bake good that hides the peanut product in other tasty things like the chocolate cookie I was offered and offer them in public. There are just too many people in this world that are poisoned by this product.

I wish I didn't have this allergy, and I am sure millions more wish the same thing.

Oh, i find people in the same room eating pungent peanut butter and raw peanuts in the same room offensive, And while my "detector" is highly tuned, I won't really have a major reaction to the poison, it just irks me. And why some people think that hiding peanut butter in a primarily chocolate cookie is good, I will never know. But some think peanut is good in everything.

Peanuts aren't the only thing which people hide in cookies.
That's one of the arguments against pot enhanced foods. I have known people to pass them out, thinking they are being funny... I have never seen the humor.

Wow James... with all due respect, I find your post a little harsh. While I don’t have a peanut allergy and I can definitely appreciate the seriousness, I find it hard to blame someone for other’s allergies unless they don’t know ‘what’s inside’ if you ask.

My good buddy is seriously lactose intolerant and he always asks about ingredients at a restaurant or when at a friend’s house. Sorry if I am being insensitive but it seems the onus should be on the person with the issue, not the masses that don’t have the knowledge or experience. Expecting everyone to understand a particular person’s allergies is a recipe for failure.

Another friend is highly allergic to squid. He always checks at seafood restaurants about contents of soup, ceviche, etc.

I guess we could pass a law the requires servers to always ask about if anyone has any food allergies? More lawsuits.

I hope you take this right.

Well, my point is that peanut allergy is pervasive enough that many business's like airlines won't serve them anymore. The reason is the results can be so dire. Literally poisoned and die right there. As I said most of us don't have it that severe, but some do, and most of us can detect a peanut pretty quick and avoid it. i was fooled about the chocolate cookie, and have myself to blame for not detecting it and I really know better than to take most offered food in the first place, but my point is why in he77 do people hide peanut butter in chocolate cookies? It doesn't make sense to me. Some people think every baked good will benefit from the addition of peanut butter. I am here to tell you it IS A VERY BAD IDEA. If someone offers you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you know right off what it is and what it will do to you. Same with "boiled peanuts" or a jar of dried salted peanuts. Easy to avoid, but hiding peanut products in other foods. is not a good idea. It is very thoughtless at best.

I would beat the living **** out of anyone that fed me a pot laced cookie.

Lets frame the peanut thing another way.

Say that 95 percent of the population has no trouble at all eating strychnine. In fact a lot of people really like the taste of strychnine. But 3 percent of the people will suffer a lot of discomfort eating strychnine hidden inside what they think is a chocolate cookie. They will have throat swelling, stomach upset, and likely puke if they eat enough of it. And another 2 percent of the populace will be DRT. Dead Right There.

So you being one of the people that think some strychnine is good in almost anything, would you put strychnine in your chocolate cookies? Would you offer them to others you don't know well? And maybe you aren't intentionally thinking about hurting anyone, but maybe you are just thoughtless? As much as peanut allergies have been known and in the popular culture and in the news for as long as it has, why would you put strychnine in your cookies?

I have to be careful what I eat when I go over to one of our friends. Their kids are always into some sort of pot and like to help in the kitchen.
