My toddler has started 3hrs of daycare a week to get her out of the house and expose her to others and I was pretty surprised to find out about the nut ban that is pretty much everywhere these days. I didn't have to deal with all of this with her older sister. Nuts, and peanuts in particular, are probably the healthiest food around, especially when cost, availability, and environmental impact are considered. These policies MIGHT save a few lives, yet they eliminate great benefit overall.
It's decisions like these that separate good leaders from the bad ones. Emotions can't come into the picture on scales this large. They have to look at the data and put a value on a life. This is tough and necessary. My great grandfather, though he wasn't really a farmer, grew and sold peanuts and it helped get my family through the Great Depression. If you really want to help the poor, peanuts are a good way.
