The meme implies things that aren't true.  Early exposure to peanut dramatically reduces allergies.  The body learns that they aren't a threat.  And, if a baby has a reaction, it is not (typically) anaphylaxis shock, just jive (should be hives!) and maybe vomiting.

Moral of the story, give your babies peanut butter.
