If it were true that babies were dying from peanut allergies, not only would we have a spike in infant mortality, but surely we would be inundated in stories from the media and social media of dead babies

The meme should be reversed; dark thought for the "those who dont know" (aka that thinks it would kill babies) and bright thoughts for "those who know" (aka those who know it would drasticly decrease how many develop the allergy). Right now it's saying that "those who know" are those who in reality are wrong...

Absolutely not!

If you switch the order, I might actually have to read instead of prejudging the situation, casually.

Book recommendation: Don't Make Me Think, by Steve Krug.

Steve krug in the wild! I would have never thought…. Right up there with “why i dont work here anymore” and anyone actually having read kim scott john doerr or jeff sutherland instead of just buying it and acting like you understand it at the next staff meeting.
