Lastly it has everything to do with you being self centered. If you weren't so concearned about the inconvience to you or the 1000's of others you profess to care about, you could open your eyes and see what kind of problem it really is. You would see how many other people out there actually make an effort, and care about other kids nut allergies. You'd likley find yourself in a rather uninformed minority..
Wow sounds like you're a helicopter parent...always hovering.

I know that it is more like 2 in 100 and that is the problem. This epidemic is spreading and they are now developing ways to overcome peanut allergies because it isn't normal and they are trying to get rid of them.

What about kids that are allergic to flowers/grass/pollen? Should other kids not be able to play in the grass because we don't want the poor allergic kids to feel left out? Should they get rid of all the grass at school?

A rather uninformed minority? What the hell are you talking about? What exactly am I uninformed about? Is it that everyone has to make their issues and problems something for everyone else to suffer with too?

I empathize with people that have children with severe allergies, it must be a lot of work to take care of that child and keep them safe, just don't expect me to bend over backwards to avoid inconvenience you that's all.

If one of us has to be inconvenieced it should be the kid with the allergy not me.
