Is Nanny right to make us eat fruit?

“Few people are aware that allergies to fruits are relatively common, although fortunately they are rarely serious or life-threatening”

This is true since our kids are allergic to certain foods, not the same for each of them.

You wouldn’t think that fruits could be allergic but they can be.

Brits allergy statistics

“EIGHTEEN million Brit-ons now suffer with an allergy and experts predict that by 2050 allergies will affect half of all people in the country.”

Isn’t that an interesting statistic.

They are talking about allergies in general but it still is very interesting.

ALLERGY ALERT! article

“My children do not have food allergies so I am not accustomed to thinking of these dangers while preparing food — especially in the heat of party preparation. And, to be fair to the person hosting the party, it would be extremely difficult to eliminate every potential allergen — it’s tough to bake or buy a birthday cake without flour, milk, eggs, food colorings or peanut products (a lot of things you wouldn’t think are an issue, have peanut oils in them — including some store bought cakes).”

Great article, and so refreshing to see someone that doesn’t live with food allergies or anaphylaxis on a daily basis, actually taking an interest and being accommodating to those that are different.

Read the whole article you will be glad that you did.
