uh-oh - I eat peanut butter almost every day

Ok this is my personal opinion:

The reason kids these days have so many allergies is because we as pg women keep getting told: "don't eat this, it's bad for your baby"... Our parents generation had no idea about half the stuff we are aware of these days and if I think about it, how many kids my age (24) have a severe allergy to peanuts?? Barely any!! Our parents ate peanuts and other nuts the whole way through their pg's with us and we are fine.
I am not stopping from eating peanut butter because I think personally it is silly and not eating it means that no tollerance is built up and they will have more chance of being allergic!! Well that's my thinking...

I'd say go for gold with your peanut butter on toast!!!! Eat it as much as you want because our parents did and we are fine...

And I totally agree with this!! When I was at school, nut allergies were so rare!! Now, it's so common that most schools are 'nut free'. No offence to those parents with children with nut allegies, but seriously WTF?! That just wasn't an issue when I was young!! I think all these studies are causing more allergies than preventing them.

Great. I now have a craving for celery with peanut butter.
