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.

So you know its more like 2 in 100 and yet you still throw out random made up numbers like 1 in hundreds or even thousands to show how many people are inconvenienced by 1? So you not actually in the uninformed minority at all, you were just making stuff up to prove your point. Least you cleared that up...
You're right they are trying to find away to get around peanut allergies, and cancer and MS and and and... Unfortunately they don't have an answer for either of those yet. In the mean time only one of those you can do anything about for the 2 percent it affects, but it too much trouble for you. Maybe if you could give 5 bucks once a year and feel good about yourself that would be less of a pain for you..
If you had a 3 year old who was gonna die from eating my grass, you're damn straight I'd get rid of it until he was old enough to look out for himself. Maybe you'd spend a little time "hovering" over you kid if you knew there was even a small but very real chance you might not be a parent at the end of the day. It's nice you can send your kid to school and not have to worry about him dieing to a nut allergy.. but seeing as you don't have to worry about that, screw everyone else right? Don't bend over backwards for something that doesn't affect you.....
You empathize.... Maybe with the trouble the "extra" parenting must be.. however you obviously have ZERO empathy for the parents or you wouldn't even consider the argument you're struggling to make..
