Ontario school bans soy spread because it looks too much like peanut butter

I actually agree that it's silly to ban a substitute they're not even allergic to. That said, we can't assume the state is absolutely evil. For example, would you propose eliminating all traffic rules, and cease from building and maintaining any more roads and let people deal with it themselves just to fight against the "nanny state". Take empty rhetoric to the extreme and that's the kind of muddled logic you get.
What does this post mean? You say that when you buy a bag of peanuts - especially from bulk foods- there ought to be a warning that the bag of peanuts actually contains peanuts?
Is there some chance you are suggesting that when you buy a bag of NUTS from bulk foods or where ever, the label should say whether or not that bag contains peanuts in it? Because, if you are not saying that, then I cannot understand why you would buy a bag of peanuts and expect the bag to say it contains peanuts. Almost any packaged food you buy (with bulk foods being an exception) has a label warning people that the product may contain traces of nuts and/or peanuts unless there is no possibility that it could contain them.
He was being sarcastic. It's obvious when you buy peanuts or peanut oil they are going to be hazzardous to some. It's like putting a warning label on glue "this product may cause things to stick together, if you do not wish to stick things together don't use this product".
Yes. Sometimes when one puts sarcasm and text together, one ends up with "sar-chasm".
That's cheesy, I know, but I like it!
