So what do I do? Grab the snack and throw it out. I don’t care if I make an enemy out of every parent and nanny in the park. You will have to learn to aggressively put your child first because everyone around them won’t ever.

Let them be angry. My child’s right to life is more important than your kids snack.

You grab a snack out of a kids hand and grab it and throw it out?? You have no right to do that.

“Children from wealthy families may more likely to have peanut allergies than those less well-off, a new study finds. In the study, children ages 1 to 9 from high-income families had higher rates of peanut allergies compared with children these ages from lower income families.“

You have never ever done that. Stop lying.

There was a kid in my dorm with a life threatening peanut allergy and yes, his room was peanut free. Because, duh. His roommate, a reasonable guy, was also fine with it. Again, duh.

I’m guessing they never left their dorm room!

I’m not saying your kid can’t go to the park and eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for a picnic. Wash their hands, etc. But having your kid run around on the equipment with a bag of Bamba’s leaving peanut oil residue on every surface means we can no longer play.

And I do understand we live in a “I, me and mine” society where it’s ok if not encouraged to get yours and do what you want because how your actions effect others isn’t your problem. I understand. I’m sad, that’s not how I’m raising my kids but I get that’s a key American value especially in dog eat dog D.C. but can we just try to have a little concern for others?

You’re the one who doesn’t care that some kids are severely sensitive eaters and that peanut foods might be all they’ll eat.

Here’s one of many studies on this:

It’s fairly common knowledge at this point. Allergies are increasing rapidly in developed countries among wealthy folks.

Does being a sensitive eater also prevent a kid from eating in their stroller or sitting on a park bench?

And this is evidence that those children deserve to have their lives endangered? Since there's a chance they might have richer parents than average?

Why only what you deem “common” allergies. My friend’s child has a severe corn allergy, does he not deserve as much consideration as your child, OP?

Kids today are allergic to everything because they’re so sheltered.

They can sit wherever they want.

I think there is a psychosomatic element to all these “allergies.”

If a child is capable of sitting down to eat, then why do you let them run around on the playground with food?

I’m going to call bullshit on this. I don’t believe for a moment that you walk up to random kids on the playground, grab their snacks and throw them away.
