Federal regulators are considering a snack attack on the nation's airlines that would restrict or even completely ban serving peanuts on commercial flights.
Ban peanuts on planes? It's not nutty to allergics

Ban peanuts because 1.8 million people are allergic out of over 300 million how does this make sense??? If we are going to do this then it should follow that since I am allergic to penicillin that penicillin should be banned for all people. Does that sound right???
PEANUTS? The last couple of times I flew we were given small bags of pretzel rings...no peanuts were offered.
This is total B.S.!! When I was in school twenty six years ago we ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, today most schools do not allow anything with peanuts in school. where were all the people with deadly allergies then? I have many allergies, but I don't go around and make the world change for me. If you have allergies that are so bad how about you stay away from where those things are! "Just sayin"
Bottom line: $$.
Some else's snack is going to make a lot of money. That is why this is happening. Smokin' mirrors.
