ific.org : Food Allergies Go Back to School
http://www.ific.org/foodi…ergiesfi498.cfm
“In recent years, there have been several reports of parents, schools and day care centers calling for a ban of allergenic foods to protect allergic children against a reaction. “Banning food eliminates numerous food choices and can limit balanced nutrition for non-allergic children,” noted Robert Earl, M.P.H., R.D., IFIC’s director of public health. “It also goes against the central message in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans - eat a wide variety of foods in moderation.”"
Have a listen to this guy. What an idiot! This guy is willing to put a childs life in danger just so the other children can get a balanced diet. What rot.
Am I alone in thinking this guy is crazy! I don’t think so. The other children can get there balanced diet through the other meals in the day when they aren’t in school. Amazing. But truely believable, since that is exactly the kind of thinking that people with anaphylaxis and food allergies face every single day from 95% of the population. Let’s hope that we can change that.

Has our society become so selfish that we will put a child into a life threatening situation just so our own child my have his or her wishes fulfilled for that day. These highly dangerous foods can be consumed OUT of school or school hours. What an invaluable lesson to teach children to consider others for a change.
