Would you see those kids go hungry because of one child who has a severe allergy? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have had a place in american society for over a century. Kids love peanut butter and it is an inexpensive and protein packed food!

Peanut butter sandwiches can be documented back before the turn of the 20th century! Sad to lose something with such historical significance.

My other side says, 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?
If my calculation was right, that would 10 kids in a school of 700.
Is your love for the Historic Peanut Butter Sandwich, more important than the health of those kids?
