- riahi 7y agoAs a fun fact, peanut oil is so highly processed that most people with peanut allergy can eat it. https://acaai.org/resources/connect/ask-allergist/does-peanut-oil-cause-allergic-reactions https://acaai.org/resources/connect/ask-allergist/does-peanu...
- mirimir 7y agoI watched someone almost die from eating Chinese food fried in peanut oil. Maybe some peanut oil is pure enough, but there's no guarantee. The link is pretty clear about that, but your paraphrase is dangerous misinformation.
- riahi 7y agoBoth my comment and the website linked literally say “most people can eat peanut oil”. That’s hardly dangerous misinformation. I’m willing to bet the restaurant had peanut cross contamination in the kitchen.
- mirimir 7y agoThe linked website says that some peanut oil is OK for most people to eat. But not cold-pressed etc oil. That's a crucial distinction. And for commercially prepared food, even if you're lucky enough to know that it contains peanut oil, you likely won't know what type it is.

If the stakes aren't quite as high as that, you could try voting for a third party or a write-in candidate.
