Apparently according to the 'experts' we were given things like peanut butter too early in our growth. What we innocently did not know then, but no now. too late. I am allergic to peanuts, but not such a severe allergy. I hear they are going to have it so other kids cannot have thier beloved PBJ at school because of this, this is wrong, taking away others rights for those that can't do for themselves. I think this is unfair and again the government seeing only with tunnel vision. Those parents who have kids with such severe allergies should be teaching their kids to take their own safety into hand and not expect others too, or take selfishly away from others. Tell your kid to eat in another area, this is all that has to be done, no one else needs to be put out, or inconvenienced because others cannot think or do for themselves. I have a very strong reaction to people peeling oranges, am I going to stop them from doing that. NO. I will move to another spot if possible, or cover my nose.
There is no need to tell others they cannot have peanut butter in the schools, that is ridiculous. It seems these type of people want it their way and no other way, with no thought to anyone but themselves, and that is not fair or equal. The world is not all your way. Everyone has rights, no one has the right to take any of those away. I will send my kid to school with whatever I want to put in their lunch, and I have had words with teachers, and I continue to put in what I want in their lunch. My kids were also told not to share their lunch, my daughter one time years ago did not finish all her lunch and the teacher was going to give it to some kid whose lazy mother had not made him one. I told her she owed my daughter lunch. because we have a rule in our home, what you do not eat at school, can be an after school snack or taken home for the next day. I was not always rich, and certainly not when the kids were young. I worked two jobs to climb up the ladder. It is not my job to feed the damn neigborhood.
anyhow, I have many food allergies, I just deal with it.
People are allergic to starches, flours, etc. I am, and found out that one of the medicines I was taking for hives had starch in the pill, and most do, so I take reactine for the itch and hives that come from foods, dust, pollen, etc.
Reactine will help those bumps you get from touching foods that you are allergic to,then touch yourself, you get hives, reactine works great.
They should have different areas where kids with severe peanut allergies can eat in peace, and without taking the rights of others away. A democracy, isn't that novel. Equality for all (not just whiners, I know the squeeky wheel gets greased, but this is getting to be asinine), and even more novel idea.
