Thread: What the Heck...For Real?!?!

Has there also been a change in technology to better diagnose allergies in the past 10 years? Its an important question to be asked and answered.

Yea, I sure do get it and no I am not surprised, I know people with food allergies. I was not probably too clear but you do what you can reasonably do and sounds like you have. I have no quarrels with PBJ bans at all. Unfortunately even when the person who suffers from an allergy that is potentially deadly is well versed and prepared as well as reasonably possible and society has also taken all reasonable precautions circumstances arise where there is an accident.

In some ways it is a good thing that people in positions of responsibility have a fear of lawsuits as it prompts them to take reasonable precautions they might otherwise not take. OTH unfortunately there is really only so much that can be reasonably done. The rest is up to good fortune. Everyone has a different idea of what reasonable is and that is the problem. I do hope you understand.

IMO kids can skip the PBJ for lunch and have one at home if need be. I can just picture one curious kid with peanut butter trying to find out if the other kid would really die of it. If I remember correctly, there are the curious, the stupid and the belligerent as well as the rest of us. Keep the one kid safe. I have buried a child, it is not something I would wish on anybody.

I certainly don't want to see anyone to die but at what percentage to we want society at a whole to change ?

Well we could always sacrifice that kid if it will help you out. Its not about a societal change its about common sense, decency and respect for each other.

Dont bother reporting my post, I just did. It is a matter of honor and integrity.

I'm just finding it slightly odd that folks are seeing unfettered access to peanut butter as sort of a line across which we shall not cross. Give me peanut butter or give me death!

Is eating something other than a PB sammie at lunch really *that* great a societal change? Don't get me wrong: I love peanuts and peanut butter. But would I ever insist on eating it in a location away from my home where doing so could kill someone? No, I wouldn't. And if someone told me that a child in a school had a serious peanut allergy, I would do everything in my power to ensure that I did not bring anything to the school that could cause that child harm.

I think we've been there, done that with this thread..http://straightrazorpalace.com/conve...nonesense.html
