Here's my thing about accomodating people with peanut allergies- what are the people who have normal kids but are on a fixed income supposed to do? I know I can buy a gallon sized jar of peanut butter for about $10, and it will keep without spoiling for weeks or months.

Or what if you have a kid who is a fussy eater? Or like a buddy's kid- at age 7 she decided she wanted to be a vegitarian. Now you aren't allowed to make sure your kid is getting his proper serving of protien because somebody else is allergic?

I have to agree with those that suggest that the allergic kids can eat in another room. It's one thing to accomodate the weaker members of society, but a totally different thing to give them more rights than everybody else.

And before anybody goes off on me- I'm not saying that those who are handicapped shouldn't get special priveledges. Short busses for all that need them. But there is a vast different between somebody with a physical/mental disabillity and somebody who has envirnment issues.
