Re: Banning peanut butter - discrimination issues

[Guest guest]

Suggesting that " not " serving peanut butter discriminates against kids

without allergies is like saying that " not " serving liver discriminates against

the kids that like liver. . . just how stupid are some people?

Does serving milk discriminate against people that are lactose intolerant?

sigh.

Although my daycare has not done it yet (which is surprising) it is common.

My kids do not have allergies, but I completely understand the reasoning

behind it.

I have recently heard of controversy surrounding this saying that they are

" discriminating " against the kids that don't have allergies - even a case

going to court about it here in Florida... ridiculous in my opinion!

And even though this does not apply to you I have also heard that some

daycares/schools require that ANYTHING you bring in has to have a label to

it to determine if there could be certain items that other kids are

allergic

to.

[Guest guest]

I saw that article. Some parents objected to their childrens' lunches (non

peanut allergic kids) being left outside to prevent cross contamination. There

may have been more to the experience than we know about. It definitely points

out how difficult it is to separate out ingredients and put safeguards into

place to protect all our children. It has to be a terrible experience to bring a

child to a birthday party or simple restaurant meal and wonder if another child

or adult for that matter might have debris of allergen on their hands or

clothing. In Massachusetts, restaurants display signs to tell your server if

anybody in your party has any allergies. I have yet to hear a server ask or

anybody to tell. Still wondering what the server would do? Maybe, advise them to

go elsewhere or check their liability policy. It is a really tough situation to

figure out. Raphaela Rozanski

I am in Lenox MA and yes, all menus have that request on them. I am wheat

intolerant and always tell the server and am led carefully thru the menu. My

plant based diet children do the same.
