Suggest a peanut-free snack that I can buy and give to all the kids in class for my DS's birthday

Yes, oreos have wheat in them, although you can buy gluten free oreo-type cookies at Giant. But anyone with a gluten/wheat sensitivity probably isn't going to eat whatever you bring in anyway unless its pre-packaged raisins or something like that that no one else has touched.

I remember the time when kids with allergies were taught how to look after themselves. They were not overprotected, and they soon learned to watch out for the odd foods themselves, not to expect other people to be experts on the field and to dance around and fuss over their allergies.

Yes, but OP asked about bringing something EVERYONE would like, didn't she? You missed the point of her question.

And if the kids in question are 2, or young 3s - then what do you do? I mean, we have our 2 year old chop her own firewood, but not every family has such a mature 24-mo-old. These kids may need looking after when it comes to life-threatening allergies. Asshole.

My thoughts exactly.

Responding Poster-- I was just going to call the person you quoted an idiot, but you were wittier. Thanks!
