[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeez people. Seriously,  how many children die from nut allergies every year?  Children for in car accidents and from falling out of windows,  yet we still drive and have windows in our homes. Those are far greater risks than the kid at the next table eating a PBJ. If your child is so fragile,  keep them home and stop procreating with your crappy ass genes. [/quote]

We may still drive and have windows in our homes, but we wear seat belts and have screens on our windows.  Similarly, we need to be careful about exposing kids to certain allergens.  I wish those of you complaining could live with a child w/ severe food allergies for a little while.  It is a daily struggle, not only for the parents, but for the kids.  Do you know how hard it is to watch your 9-year old desperately reading labels, being extremely nervous about eating in restaurants or at birthday parties, etc. because of possible cross contamination, etc.?

Nut allergies (along w/ seafood allergies, sesame allergies, etc.) are real and life-threatening.  Here's one recent story PP if you need proof: http://www.sacbee.com/2014/04/18/6335644/family-of-girl-who-died-from-peanut.html.
