[QUOTE=Yochatman;, what are scientists doing to make peanuts so different that the allergy rate is steadily climbing? Or are the completely sterile environments in which we live, work, and play creating more sensitivity?[/QUOTE]
I stopped reading the posts by page 2. I think you two are both right. I feel for your daughter and think it is fair to have a space for her and to have people educated on using the epi-pen and so on.I think you are facing this reasonably and are not asking for unreasonable accomodation ,I truly hope you take that as respectful . And I also agree that given how long we humans have been around and given the ever increasing rise in food allergies within the last few decades I would surmise that we are sciencing ourselves to death. Which just reenforces my personal belief that man is a fool when it comes to trying to build a better mousetrap or universe for that matter.Some things such as medicine are worth improving with levelheaded caution of course, but it seems in our fervent race for progress,we sort of lose our rational thought and common sense,sometimes we should ask what are we trying to progress to ? And maybe being simpler about some things such as the way we live and farming etc. is more progressive than trying to progress with a testtube. Just my nothing of a viewpoint. but I use a straightrazor so what do I know after all it's carbon steel that rusts and it's dangerous ?
