Better a nut farmer as President than a nutcase

Peanuts are also called “Ground Nuts” and desired not only as a nutritious snack but for the oil released from the nut, not only for cooking but for its nutritional values. Check out AOCS (American Oilseed Chemists Society).

Starfish, not only was he a peanut farmer, but when he was elected president, he sold the family peanut farms that had been in his family for generations so that there could be no hint of his getting money for any legislation favoring peanut farmers. I am not pointing fingers, but contrast that with another recent president seeking the office again who kept all his businesses and real estate venture. He also stayed on his properties , and overcharged his secret service people to stay in his hotels. Jimmy Carter was probably one of the most moral and deeply religious president's we have ever had. He was also one of the most ineffective. I don't say there us a correlation...

From my knowledge there are peanuts that grow on small trees, on the surface. There are also peanuts that grow underground.

IntransigentFire6685, Nuts do come from a tree. That’s why peanuts aren’t nuts. Get it?
LivSheep
Yes if you have a peanut allergy you have to be careful you’re not also going to react to lupin flour, peas/ pea flour/ pea protein, chickpeas etc..

WickedNorthener60, it's amazing to me that when I grew up no one was allergic to peanuts and these days you hear about it all the time kids can't even take a peanut butter sandwich to school
Artie
