I hate honey-roasted peanuts and am trying to follow a low carb diet. I think those of us who want salted peanuts should always have the choice -- what I eat is my concern alone; if you don't want to eat peanuts, that's fine, but removing one food in the name of health reasons doesn't account for diabetics, like me, who for health reasons must have the very food you are removing in favor of a higher carb food. It is not right that one affliction is used as an excuse to belittle those who suffer from another affliction and treat them as if their health issues are inconsequential.
