I Have To Say I Agree
I may deny this at a later point, but I actually have to agree with supermom_ttf on the whole lunch/allergy thing. I totally understand kids and allergies and how life threatening it can all be to some kids but, why do all the other kids and parents have to take on the responsibility too? Like supermom_ttf said, put all the allergy kids in a separate room to eat lunch. Kids eat more than just peanut butter that has peanut products in it. Why should my child be denied her PB&J just because your child can't be around it? It's your kid with the problem, find a solution that doesn't affect the whole school. The food allergy lists and rules are really getting to be a bit much.

My kid has a severe peanut allergy, and I would never expect the school to restrict others. They accomodate her in the classroom, because she can't move away. In the lunch room, my kid can sit somewhere else.
I agree.
I'm just very skeptical about the whole peanut allergy thing. Are that many kids really deadly allergic? and people sure are hopping to action.
Obesity kills way, way more kids, and every sure is dragging their butts coming up with more healthy ways to eat and feed them.
Peanut allergies are a drop in the bucket compared to childhood obesity, diabetes, etc.
I don't agree. My kid will not cause another kid harm (or kill another child) because I am too lazy to pack a lunch that doesn't include peanuts/peanut product.
But are you too lazy to stop feeding them lunchables, processed meat, soda and apple juice?

Like I said above, I can't control what other people do. I do appreciate parents who respect the peanut allergic kids without being forced, so thanks for doing your part.
I don't remember anyone having a peanut allergy when I was a kid. Peanut butter did used to make me really lethargic for some reason about 10 or 15 years ago, no idea why - but it isn't a problem now.
I looked up some stuff yesterday after the "60 peanut butter sandwich thread", in the FAQ's on one site they had the question, how come no one had peanut allergies when I was a kid? The answer was, allergies, specifically food allergies have increased significantly in recent years. One theory is that children now have fewer infections (due to increased hygiene) and their immune system is targeting other things.
And I'm sure that was way more than you wanted to know about peanut allergies.
I agree. Thankfully our school doesn't have that rule, but I'd pissed if it did. My kids probably wouldn't eat lunch if they did because the ONLY sandwich they want is a PB&J sandwich in their lunchbox. Don't get me wrong, I DO feel bad for kids with allergies and I absolutely understand the need to protect them. I would be that way too if it was my kid. But at the same time I don't think the entire school should be required to accomodate any one child. I think other provisions should be made by that one child.
This is like asking everyone in school to wear plastic spacesuits because one kid is immuno-compromised.
I sympathize with allergic kids but banning substances from the entire school is way over the top. They can bring lunch and eat in the library or whatever. Or put all the peanut kids in the same class like they do with the tards. No sharp objects in the tards class, no peanuts in the allergic class.
There are most definately sharp objects in the classroom with the mentally handicapped children. You suck for saying "tards". Shame on you. :(
Or put all the peanut kids in the same class like they do with the tards. No sharp objects in the tards class, no peanuts in the allergic class.
I agree! What is the actual percentage of kids with allergies that severe? The whole school shouldn't suffer because of one kid.
This is a huge pet peeve for me. It's always the mothers friend who points these things out too. Like, "ooooh, remember Betty's boy can't have nuts so what do you think about putting out those peanut m&m's?"
I think, tell junior to stay away from the fucking nuts.
You suck for saying "tards". Shame on you. :(
If you have an issue here's a tissue.
Well, "tards" was faster to type than "special education students requiring a contained learning environment."
Kind of like how "asshole" is faster to type than "self-righteous busybody with nothing better to do than hand-slap an anon poster on a blog dedicated to gossip about Two Peas."
Gosh its fun to stir up shit on here. I love it! :) People are quick to jump all over you when you correct them for using slang in poor taste.

ITA!!! By the age of 5 if a child is that severely allergic to peanuts, then he/she should know that. They can be taught the severity of it.....most likely have already felt the affects of the allergy.
Tards
Everyone should go down to post on Mowse and see what was posted. Seems Mowse is quite critical of people just like her.
Unbelievable
HAHAHA! That picture was great! :)
I don't get the Mowse thing. Is there a link we can follow?
I think it would be very scary to let a child with any severe allergy out into the world. I applaud the parents that are educating their children and not relying on the general public to keep their kids safe.
I'm going to go with Supermom on this one. No matter how many precautions are taken something could slip through (right Mowse)and it would be much better to instruct the highly allergic child rather than deprive everyone else.
I'll copy & paste. This comes from the comments section of this blog entry. Mowse
So I was bored today but remembered a thread not too long ago where Mowse went off about entitlement, government assistance, etc. In light of what we know about her life now it is pretty comical reading. I only took the best parts for you here.
OK I'm in a totally hormonal pregnant mood , but being as I am a breastfeeding advocate (trained, no less)...I feel as if I can weigh in here...
There's really no nice way to say this. But this thread shows exactly the entitlement attitude that is so pervasive in this country!
Well, what the heck are you going to do if the formula ISN'T there????
this is what is entitlement. We expect formula. We rely on it. We don't put 100 percent into breastfeeding because our babies' lives don't depend on it. And, THAT I find ... frustrating. I do know many many moms who do everything they possibly can to breastfeed and it still doesn't work. THat I can understand. but I also have a friend who PUMPED for over a year because her child had a severe cleft pallete. I also have a friend who found donor breastmilk for her child. So there are ways. It may not be easy, but there ARE ways.
Mely's right. A lot of my tone DOES come from the fact that I'm stuck in an area that has a whopping 7 percent breastfeeding rate at birth. Imagine that statistic at 6 mos or a year. It's frustrating because I also live in an area with extremely high welfare rates. you do the math. Yeah, it's judgemental, and I'm sorry for that, but I DO see a lot of entitlement issues where I live. So many people who expect a hand out and not a hand up, yk?
ANd i know that's not just a "welfare" thing because there are a lot of people who use welfare for what it is intended.
But when I drive by the projects and see an 06 escalade parked out there and here comments like "why bother getting an education, cause I can just get on welfare" It ticks me off. Cause they are spending MY tax dollars and are just expecting a hand out....
it really does bother me when we expect so much to always be available. we are truly blessed in this country and we have sooo much. but you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow and how much won't be available.
I mean what happens to the people who make too much for for WIC but not enough to feed their babies formula? You just never know when you're going to be in that situation. No one expects to be there, but it happens.
There are so many women who just assume the money is going to be there to pay for the formula with their jobs and if they can't then there's always WIC to fall back on. You don't know what the future holds.
Can you believe this hypocritcal bitch? I feel so sorry for her kids.
Verrrrrry interesting reading....Mowse needs to get her f-ing priorities straight. In no way is a person entitled to FORMULA! What the hell happened to women and babies in the olden days-you know before formula rolled around??? What, did thier kids starve to death? Probably not. They used thier boobs to feed thier kids just like everyone else.
And, just because you are poor and need to use the services provided by WIC, does not entitle you to the very best of things. Because of the position you are in, you need to take what is available to you, and make the best of it. NO COMPLAINING. If you want something better-go get a better fucking job and quit your bitching.
People that use WIC because of the free formula tick me off. Last time I checked, breastmilk is free. Hell of a lot healthier and easier too! Of course, women are quick to give up on breastfeeding....laziness, myth living, whatever. If you have lactating breasts, WIC should not provide formula. End of story.
As for all of the allergies people talk about, I do place a lot of it on what an infant is fed in the early months. I would love to have a scientific study done on breastfed vs formula fed infants and what, if any, allergies they have in later years. It would be an eye opener, I bet. Course, women would poo-poo it because of the guilt factor. Personal responsibility, people! It's a good thing.
OMG We just got a big fat ugly letter from our kids schools about this and I think it is really sad that the kids have to be segregated (at our school that have a seperate table for the allergy kids) however, there is no other reasonable choice bc there is no possible way to keep track of who has what in their lunches!! There is peanut products EVERYwhere these days and although it is so sad, this is a resonable choice. I will also agree, if MY child has special needs I realize the school will do what they can to help us out but it is NO ONE'S responsibility but THAT CHILD'S PARENT to make sure they are cared for. Not the govt, the state, the city or the schools.... YOUR CHILD, YOUR PROBLEMS!! My kid has asthma, do I not want every kid in school to have to change clothes bc they smell like cigarette smoke? Ummmmm nope! I could go on and on with these similarities, but you get the point!? Quit mansy pansy-ing the crap.... shit happens, it sucks, deal with it and take care of your kid and shut up. Be a parent!
" One theory is that children now have fewer infections (due to increased hygiene) and their immune system is targeting other things. "
See, it's the OCD ladies who are anal about handwashing - EVERY TIME! - that have the peanut allergy kids.
Germs are good for you.
My 15yo son is a diabetic; too much sugar could kill him and yet, I do NOT expect the whole damn high school to stop eating anything with sugar in it!
The only thing I would eat for lunch when I was in grade school was peanut butter; without it I would have eating nothing at all.
I agree that the allergic kids should be separated for lunch so that everyone else can what they want in peace.
Oh and our school district took away all the soda machines in order to provide more "healthy" drinks, but I guess they didn't think about how all those fruit drinks have WAY more sugar (typically) than even a regular soda.
From emagine on the lunch list thread:
"Dairy can include so much more than nut products alone"
Since when are nuts dairy?
Some dumb bitches over there.
"Dairy can include so much more than nut products alone"
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA! Nice
I hope that when my peanut allergic son (after consuming his safe lunch on a separate table) comes in contact with your child's hands (that have clearly come in contact with his peanut butter lunch) pukes all over your kid, then maybe you'll get a fucking clue. Until then keep up the brilliant conversation, and maybe at some point educate yourselves on food allergies.
"One theory is that children now have fewer infections (due to increased hygiene) and their immune system is targeting other things."
Kids are a bunch of candy asses anymmore. Thanks to anal, overbearing parents who think it is a reflection of themselves to have the cleanest, smartest, prettiest, etc. Kids have no immune systems, no coping skills, no common sense. Poor kids.
Maybe some of these "allergy" kids should have been "breast fed"!
IMO the kids should be seperated if it's such an issue! My kid would DIE if he could'nt have PB&J every stinkin' day!
As for Mowse and her entitlement issues....she's entitled to the milk that comes with the kid. If you have to rely on "outside" sources maybe they should REconsider having another baby at the expense of everyone else!
This poor woman. Why do bad things always happen to her. guess who?
I'm thinking she should be thankful that she has insurance and can provide the necessary medications for her children. Not everyone is so fortunate.
"I hope that when my peanut allergic son (after consuming his safe lunch on a separate table) comes in contact with your child's hands (that have clearly come in contact with his peanut butter lunch) pukes all over your kid"
You mean after all our worrying and accommodating all your kids gonna do is barf? That's great news! Attention everyone! All kids with peanut allergies are now required to carry barf bags! Problem solved.
P.S. I didn't raise my kids to stand still and be victims. You can bet the only thing your hurling kid is going to hit are his own shoes.
I just read an article on peanut allergies. Saying that 1% of the population (mostly teenagers with ashtma) have peanut allergies. Not all of that 1% have severe, those are very rare. It says that you should delay introducing peanuts as long as possible (after age 2) and start solids at 6 months. A child with asthma is more likely to have a peanut allergy. The thing that article didn't say is do you just restrict peanuts, peanut butter etc.. or any food made in a factory with nuts? Sounds confusing to me. They also said that many people are not actually allergic they just have reactions to certain foods.
I can see both sides to this issue. I would never maliciously bring in peanuts if I knew there was an allergy. I might complain under my breath in my own home that I couldn't make a easy/healthy PB&J. Most schools I know have peanut free zones (classrooms with peanut allergies and areas in the lunchroom) That seems to work just fine.
Remember that story about the Canadian girl who died after kissing her boyfriend? It was later found that her peanut allergy did not kill her. I can't remember what the story was, but I always felt so sorry for that boy who kissed her and thought he killed her. I was glad they found out that he had nothing to do with it, but I hope he believes that.
Breastfeeding does prevent allergies, not sure if it prevents peanut allergies specifically. People should breastfeed. Unless you physically can't, saying it hurts is not a reason not to. Giving kids foods too soon is another thing that is bad.
There was a retarded boy in my High School who should not have been mainstreamed. I felt so bad for him. He was allergic to milk and the jocks would poor it into his coke at lunch and laugh when he barfed. They would chase him down the halls with milk cartons, it was horrible. THey invited him to spend the night and took his clothes and through him outside. I hate jocks, they were assholes. THis kid used to take out his dick and whack it everywhere.
Those same jocks hung up a sign with a picture of their friend with a fat chick he had banged. THey were evil people and I hope Karma paid them a visit.
Ok..shouldn't Stinky Rose know what labor feels like and what she should do when she has contractions by now? I mean, this is her 3rd kid and all...
I hope the nightly topic will be something other than peanuts. I have a peanut allergic kid, and even I am tired of hearing about it.
99% of those who say they couldn't breastfeed really just didn't want to.
Okay, there seems to be a little misinterpretation of what I posted about Mowse and entitlement. She is a strong advocate of breastfeeding - she does not use her WIC status for formula. This came from a BF vs. FF debate back in June. What I was trying to illustrate was her talking about people feeling entitled to government assistance and the irony is that she is receiving WIC. Did not mean for this to be a BF vs. FF debate going into the relationship with allergies. I was simply illustrating Mowse's hypocrisy and idiocracy. And isn't it funny that her peaname is a weasel? LMAO!
For being a trashy WIC girl, mowse is 1) buying a new house and 2) knows a lot about high-tech gadgets (her neighbor's chocolate phone).
See, it's the OCD ladies who are anal about handwashing - EVERY TIME! - that have the peanut allergy kids.
Germs are good for you.

BWAHAHAHAHHA!!
I am educated on peanut allergies and I never heard of any of them barfing because of it. I thought their throats closed up and then they needed an Epipen pronto.
Deal with your kid's medical issue and quit hating on others.
PA kids should have their own table and an Epipen at school. That's it. If you don't like it or you're freaked that your kid will die then homeschool.
Banning peanuts, dairy, etc. is fucked up and you know not EVERYONE is going to follow the rules.
Kids that are allergic to bee stings have epi pens at school. Or maybe we should punish all the kids by not letting them go out on the playground at lunch time because one or two kids are allergic to bee stings.
I hope that when my peanut allergic son (after consuming his safe lunch on a separate table) comes in contact with your child's hands (that have clearly come in contact with his peanut butter lunch) pukes all over your kid, then maybe you'll get a fucking clue. Until then keep up the brilliant conversation, and maybe at some point educate yourselves on food allergies.

You know what bitch..... Fuck You and your child with food allergies. I also have an asthmatic child as someone else mentioned. The number of kids sent to school with a sniffle is amazing. That sniffle is no big deal to your peanut allergy kid but my son could have a world of trouble. A simple cold has turned into pneumonia more times than I count. Did I ask the school to put all the assholes who's Mom's are too busy Pea-ing to keep them home and nurse them back to health in a separate room, or God forbid, at a separate table. No.... Why? Shit happens and my child knows enough to stay away from your snot nosed kid. While my child is sitting in the nurse's office because he can't participate in Gym where is your child? In Gym. How about recess? You get the point! This is my Childs problem not the whole fucking school. So take some peanut butter and shove it up you ass you self righteous CUNT!
11:00 PM, you go girl!
I have a PA kid who is also asthmatic. She has had pneumonia numerous times. In fact, the snot nose brats who don't stay home are probably a bigger concern than the peanuts.
She knows how to avoid peanuts and kids with them, but she can't avoid some nasty booger brat who sneezes all over.
Oh, since when do PA kids barf? My PA kid has had several serious reactions, and I'd be jumping for joy if barfing was as bad as it got.
I have a PA kid and I am NOT a compulsive handwasher.
If you're washing your hands to the point of chapping and bleeding, you need prozac.
I used to agree with most things you started talking about blogger, but you're a fucking moron. You are the reason I believe in abortions. It's a shame your mother didn't take that opportunity when she could have.
^^^^^^psycho PA mom
Well, I'll try to instill in my kids not to drink and drive...but if they do...I hope that they hit and kill your kid...even though he/she was innocent at the time.
Having worked in 2 school districts for 20 years I have never met a child that had an allergy like described (as so severe they would die).
So to make these rules for 1 thousand children because 1 might have this problem is not right. It is much simpler to have the child eat meals brought from home and instructed not to sit by an allergen without alienating anyone. This whole thing is just silly. Not down playing for the Mom's that have these kids but honestly, these kids have to deal with this every day of their life. Would it be so bad for them to have a different lunch time? Is it any worse than being told you can't have what the other kids have ALL THE TIME?
Think about it.
Oh and my best friend breast fed all 3 children until age 3, they are the sickliest kids I have ever known, seriously, they have allergies, asthma and get a cold 20 times a year (I am not kidding). I didn't breastfeed and my child is so healthy it isn't funny and he is 18 now. Same with everyone in my family except the breast feeding ones.
Now it seems to me that maybe it helps WHILE you are breastfeeding but it can't do shit when you aren't. That is like saying you take vitamins for 3 years, quit them and expect those vitamins to sustain you the rest of your life? What the fuck?
I wonder how many of you posting would say 1/10th of what you've said, were your names visible.
Gutless cunts, one and all.

And that's exactly what Mowse was saying. Reading comprehension is a great thing.
So, do you agree with her now?
of course peanut allergies are deadly. do you stupid fat brainless cows really deny the numerous case studies and science behind it? why don't you go to scholar.google.com and search for peer reviewed academic journal articles on this matter. you dumb bitches are such morons and it is my wish that a parental aptitude test be required before idiots like you are permitted to procreate - which i am against.
My dh is deathly allergic to nuts, to the point of his throat swelling closed and needing an epipen or adrenaline administered in the hospital to counteract the reaction. He's ended up in the hospital for it a couple of times in the past 15 years despite carrying his epipen with him. So, I can sympathize with that, I really can.
We do not expect anyone to cater to him, although I do keep our home as nut free as possible. If someone brings a nut dessert to our home, we don't flip out. Dh will decline the dessert, explaining the reason why. And yes, he has reacted to the second-hand interaction with nuts. I will often decline the nuts too, but I have been known to eat them at work hours prior to coming home because I love nuts.
On the other hand, I grew up very poor. One of the few things my parents could afford for school lunch were PB&J sandwiches. They were healthy and filling. Sadly, there are lot more people who are in that same economic boat than there are children with peanut allergies. I always feel badly for those parents when I see the peanut banning in schools.
By the way, peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes. My dh is not allergic to peanuts at all, he loves PB&J sandwiches.

Maybe that same parental aptitude test would have caught stupid bitches like you procreating and producing retarded, unhealthy kids. Since your gene pool is apparently so shallow that you can't produce a healthy kid.
How do you know Lauren is overweight?

Finally, a rational PA parent. You sound like a great mom and very educated.
Shawn gindt you dumb cunt, give us our money back.
some of you people must still believe the earth is flat or that jesus was magic. also, tell me exactly what's wrong with catering to other people? are you as an independent such hot shit that you should exist completely seperate from all other humans? have you heard of compassion? big fucking deal is your retard child can't eat a fucking peanut butter sandwich - is it so outrageous to deny a potentially deadly food item to your child while he is at school. the problem here is not someone interfering with your freedom of choice, the problem here is too many of you have only half a brain and cant fathom investigating a variety of lunch options. some of you really make me sick and i only wish you could see how ignorant and selfish some of these comments are. fuck, get over yourself - you are 1 of 6 billion and nothing you do makes you any better than any of those people - if anything, you are a spitting image of what it is to be unremarkable so act accordingly.
oh, well, after you put it like that, of course I'm going to change my opinion. (smirk)
If there are only 1% of children that have PA, how come it seems that ALL of the PA mothers are on 2peas?
Do you think that some of the women of 2peas are so desperate to belong that they claim to have experience with everything? Everyone has a PA kid on the autistic spectrum. They are also all deathly allergic to cigarette smoke. Isn't this all a bit suspect?

Sounds like Vanessa Spady is off her meds again.
you won't change your opinion because you refuse to formulate an opinion based on empirical evidence presented by the medical community. instead, you make an assumption based on the minute scope of your pitiful existence. you make no attempt to further your understanding of this issue because you have formulated a conclusion only to be a contrarian. why don't you go read about this subject rather than make ill-informed assumptions.
So the problem here is this: some of you think that we should be more kind, caring, understanding of kids with special needs... How is it you HONESTLY think that we can cater to milk allergies, peanut allergies, fruit allergies, wheat and gluton allergies, asthma triggers (dust, smoke, pollen etc) and STILL keep ALL of these kids in ONE mainstream school system? NOT happening! SO, pack your PA kid a sack lunch and teach them to take care of THIER OWN special needs. I will teach MY kid to avoid the snotty nosed kids so they don't get allergy flair ups. MaryAnn will keep her kids away from strawberries and Sue will keep her kids away from milk. GET THE PICTURE?? We are not mean and awful because we think that making all these 100001 special arrangements are over the top. It IS NOT THE SCHOOLS job to cater to YOUR KIDS problems, it is YOUR PROBLEM as thier MOTHER.....deal with it and quit dropping the freaking "F" bomb every time things don't go your way! Wannny butt whiners! No wonder your kids are such boobs!
From the NIH:
Peanut or tree nut allergies affect approximately 0.6 percent and 0.4 percent of Americans, respectively, and cause the most severe food-induced allergic reactions.
which is roughly between 1.2 million and 1.8 million americans.
i have also read sources that claim as much as 3 million americans have peanut allergies
since peanut allergies mostly affect children, that's over a million children with peanut allergies.
are you really willing to take that risk?

schools are not catering, they are taking precautions for a large number of children who have a severe allergy that is deadly. being lactose intollerant simply does not have the same risk as a peanut allergy. all it takes is brief contact for an allergic child to go into shock.
What risk is that?
.6% is 6 tenths of 1% of all children have these allergies. Do you understand that? Substantially less than 1% of all children.
No, I'm not willing to force the other 99.4% of children to change their eating habits or force schools to ban a product because less than 1% of children is allergic to it.
Who is this? You get three guesses.

.6% is of AMERICANS - 20% of Americans are between the ages of 0 - 14 . The majority of peanut allergies occur in children. So suddenly .6% becomes a much larger percentage - if children is your scope. that is a massive number of children.
and even if 99.6% of children (which is not the case) do not have food allergies, not eating foods containing peanuts during school hours is hardly an adjustment to their eating habits - it is a minute adjustment during school hours.
The number of children who get kidnapped by pedophiles is minute yet parents take extreme precautions to keep their children safe - so why when you have a quantitative threat that exists and is valid,should that potentiallity not be accounted for?
these are children, have you really this little compassion. if your child ever died because another parent refused to make a slight inconsequential adjustment, how would you feel?

How about children with asthma? If you're a smoker, your kids will come to school reeking of cigarette smoke which can trigger a severe asthma attack in an asthmatic. Are you willing to stop smoking for someone else's children? I doubt it.
How about wearing perfume or cologne. Would you tell your children to stop wearing fragrances because it puts other children at a health risk? Again, I doubt it.
Severe asthma can be deadly (my sister was in and out of hospitals as a child due to asthma), but no one is asking anyone to change things for these children. Some asthmatic children have to sit out of gym class (which sets them apart from their peers). I don't see why it's different to have a child with a PA sit in a different area than children eating peanut products.
you won't change your opinion because you refuse to formulate an opinion based on empirical evidence presented by the medical community. instead, you make an assumption based on the minute scope of your pitiful existence. you make no attempt to further your understanding of this issue because you have formulated a conclusion only to be a contrarian. why don't you go read about this subject rather than make ill-informed assumptions.

All those big words and you can't find the CAPS key?
some of you people must still believe the earth is flat or that jesus was magic. also, tell me exactly what's wrong with catering to other people? are you as an independent such hot shit that you should exist completely seperate from all other humans? have you heard of compassion? big fucking deal is your retard child can't eat a fucking peanut butter sandwich - is it so outrageous to deny a potentially deadly food item to your child while he is at school. the problem here is not someone interfering with your freedom of choice, the problem here is too many of you have only half a brain and cant fathom investigating a variety of lunch options. some of you really make me sick and i only wish you could see how ignorant and selfish some of these comments are. fuck, get over yourself - you are 1 of 6 billion and nothing you do makes you any better than any of those people - if anything, you are a spitting image of what it is to be unremarkable so act accordingly.
---------------------------------
Irony anyone? You are the one being an unreasonable bitch and expecting the world to cater to you.
There are not massive amounts of kids with peanut allergies fucktard. 1 million kids is a drop in the bucket! No one has said to screw all the kids with peanut allergies. THey have just said that those with the allergies need to make the allowances and make sure they remain safe. Out of the 1% who have peanut allergies a teeny tiny fraction are severe. Also, the internet says that most young children outgrow peanut allergies and the largest amount of the population that have them are teenagers that also have ashtma (ashtmatics have high amounts of allergies due to immune system)
i personally have never heard smoke permeated clothing causing an asthma attack. furthermore, i suspect that many schools would impose a no perfume/cologne policy if grade school kids were coming to school doused in the stuff. i personally find perfume offensive as do many people and this is why many offices have this policy too. it is not so outrageous.
you simply cannot compare asthma with a peanut allergy for a peanut allergy requires nothing more than the tiniest molecule to send someone into shock. this means that a subject could be completely unaware that he is contaminate and still cause a reaction in an allergic child.
last i looked there was no nation wide peanut butter ban - most schools with bans do so on their own accord usually stemming from the PTA's concerns.
for the person who criticized me for using 'big words' but not starting my sentences with a capital letter...none of my words were 'big words'. if you cannot understand words such as: formulate, conclusion, assumption, community or empirical - then maybe, just maybe you really are as idiotic as i suggested earlier on.

I understand those words. I also know where the CAPS key is.
Can someone link me to an article about a kid croaking in the lunchroom due to peanuts, peanut spores, touching something that another child touched having eaten a pb sandwich at home and not washed his hands? Anyone........anyone?
I would honestly be curious to see because I've never heard of anything like that. So if any of you blowhards ^^^^^ above can't link me to something substantial then sit down at your peanut free table and shut the fuck up.

Oh, I guess you told me, huh?? Assclown.
while i am calous, most of you simply ignore the point and do not know how to rebuttle.
anyways, peanut butter is pretty fattening but i guess if you're fat yourself, you don't want children better looking than you.
so do as you wish
^^^^I eat peanut butter, therefore I'm fat. Did I get that right? No, you're not calous (sic), you are an uneducated moron.
Do you teach your kids to say "I may sit at the peanut free table but at least I don't eat PB FAT ASS" to students at the peanut table? I hope you don't model this behavior to your kids.
I don't have children because i have better things to do than fixate on my child's superficial needs while ignoring important ones.
needing peanut butter = superficial and not being able to come up with alternatives is a sign of a lazy parent.
needing peanut butter = superficial and not being able to come up with alternatives is a sign of a lazy parent.
-----------------
Wow. How quickly you resort to personal insults (ridiculous, idiotic insults I might add) when you can't prove that a peanut-free table is a viable option for PA kids. All parents who serve peanut butter are lazy. Allrightythen.
AND you're not even a parent? Why don't you read the following from an educated, reasonable parent and practice reciting it to yourself...mmmmmkay? Just in case you spew your demon spawn someday and create yet another neurotic, unbalanced child for the world. Here it goes:
"My dh is deathly allergic to nuts, to the point of his throat swelling closed and needing an epipen or adrenaline administered in the hospital to counteract the reaction. He's ended up in the hospital for it a couple of times in the past 15 years despite carrying his epipen with him. So, I can sympathize with that, I really can.
We do not expect anyone to cater to him, although I do keep our home as nut free as possible. If someone brings a nut dessert to our home, we don't flip out. Dh will decline the dessert, explaining the reason why. And yes, he has reacted to the second-hand interaction with nuts. I will often decline the nuts too, but I have been known to eat them at work hours prior to coming home because I love nuts.
On the other hand, I grew up very poor. One of the few things my parents could afford for school lunch were PB&J sandwiches. They were healthy and filling. Sadly, there are lot more people who are in that same economic boat than there are children with peanut allergies. I always feel badly for those parents when I see the peanut banning in schools.
By the way, peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes. My dh is not allergic to peanuts at all, he loves PB&J sandwiches."
People honestly think this looks great?
Attention, we have another white trash makeover. It is sad when the trashies try to go ritzy.

A parent of a "PA" can NEVER ensure that the child will not come in contact with peanuts - the nature of the allergy is the tiniest molecule is all it takes - so it is nice of schools to take appropriate precautions to help minimize the risk. why would anyone be against this. for fucks sake, your child does not need to eat a fucking peanut butter sandwich. it is your choice to feed your child that - there are hundreds and thousands of other options. so if you truly believe that you are not a lazy, irresponsible person then why even give a damn if your school prefers to minimize the risk???
That red looks horrible. Is it supposed to look like that?

---------------------
That's why they should have a peanut free table. I'm 100% for that. But when does it end? For all you know, the tiniest molecule of pb can be on your grocery cart, or residue on someone's hands. It's true that you can't be 100% sure.
The way you talk it's like kids are dropping like flies each and every day from pb molecules and residue floating in the air. PUT there by lazy, irresponsible parents who dare to buy a frickin' jar of peanut butter.
You need to get a grip.
According to this website:
www.peanutallergyresource.info/peanut-allergies-children.html
50-100 children die from peanut allergies each year.
AND less than 200 die each year from ALL food allergies--including peanuts.
If I was that worried, I would homeschool my kid until he grew out of the allergy (which most kids do).

The smell of smoke on someone else's clothing has caused me to have asthma attacks. Just because
it's not reported on the evening news doesn't mean it hasn't occurred numerous times in many adults and children. Saying you've never heard of this happening is such a ridiculous statement.
as if death is the only possible outcome. what about hospitalization? in schools where kids come in close contact on a daily basis, limiting exposure to peanuts and nuts is not outrageous.
Ya know, I'm tired of all the pregnancy and breast feeding posts.
I managed to go through all my pregnancies and breast feeding without discussing it with a ton of people I don't know.
I never had HALF the "issues" that these people do.
And now, do we really need a ticker to let everyone know how long your kid has been sucking on your tit? I'm sick of the freakin' tickers. I think I'll post one - it's been 3 hours since my last orgasm. Think that will fly?

Well I for one will answer you for FUCKS sake! When does this bullshit end? You want what you want to and to hell with everyone else. I have a child that is Asthmatic. I have no problem when he sits BY HIMSELF for Gym, Recess and after school activates. It is MY CHILD'S PROBLEM ...... NOT THE WHOLE FUCKING SCHOOLS! Do you get that? Do you and all the PA Mom and Dad's not get that it is not ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I do not have the time nor the inclination to research this but I am sure more children die as a result of Asthma than your fucking nut problem.
Oh and thanks for telling me that there are thousands of sandwich choices available to me. I never realized how many flavors peanut butter came in. I made sure to pick Skippy Extra Crunchy peanut butter today.
Just FYI:
Food allergy is the leading cause of anaphylaxis outside the hospital setting. Anaphylaxis is a sudden, severe, potentially fatal, systemic allergic reaction that can involve various areas of the body (such as the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system). Symptoms occur within minutes to two hours after contact with the allergy-causing substance but, in rare instances, may occur up to four hours later. Anaphylactic reactions can be mild to life threatening. This is an extremely scary scenario for many parents - if you suspect a child in your care may be having a reaction, call 911 immediately.
Food allergy reactions account for over 30,000 emergency room trips each year. It is estimated that 150 to 200 people die annually due to anaphylaxis from food allergies. It’s a serious condition.
Approximately 2.2 million school-aged children have food allergies. According to a recent survey done by 400 school nurses for the Journal of School Nursing, 94 percent of the nurses have at least one student with potentially life threatening food allergies. According to the same survey the average public school in the U.S. currently has 10 students with food allergies.

unlike your child's asthma, a peanut allergy is triggered by the most innocuous of human interaction that extends well beyond just eating lunch. sure the chance of exposure at lunch is greatest, but there is still considerable risk of a child who was consumed peanut products, coming in contact with an allergic child and sending that child into shock. this has happened many times over the years in my particular region and i am sure it happens other places - hence the reason for this rule.
Oh and thanks for telling me that there are thousands of sandwich choices available to me.

I pack my child PB & J or jelly sandwiches everyday during the school year because they won't spoil when they sit in a locker for a few hours. I'm not about to pack her a meat sandwich that will go bad after sitting in a hot locker for 5 hours.
I have a child that is Asthmatic. I have no problem when he sits BY HIMSELF for Gym, Recess and after school activates. It is MY CHILD'S PROBLEM ...... NOT THE WHOLE FUCKING SCHOOLS! Do you get that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Exactly! Why can't kids w/ PA sit at seperate tables during lunch. If the allergy is so common these kids won't be sitting alone, they will have plenty of other kids eating with them.
then get your kid a freaking ice pack brainiac, get an insulated lunch bag put an ice pack in - problem solved.

So...enlighten me...you want to segregate the PA kids like how the niggars were back in the day?
Well, if my kid should be put at a table by himself because of what he is allergic to...then Supermom should have her kids locked up in a padded room for being fucked up for having her as a mother.

Can someone tell this trailer trash mother to cut her son's hair. He looks like a fucking girl. Guess that is what she wants-the girl she never had.
I don't put an ice pack in my kid's lunch because he is a little obsessive and will play with the ice pack at lunch, poking holes in the pak, squishing out the blue gel, and generally pissing off everyone in the lunchroom.
And before you even say it, he hates the freeze-your-drink technique because his school eats lunch so fucking early that the drink is not melted yet and he can't actually drink the drink.
I still don't see why it's a big deal to put the peanutards at their own table.
All this shrieking makes me want to use peanut butter as moisturizer and then touch as much shit in public as possible.
wow. i hate the whole PA thing - totally out of hand-but I'm not even that mean.
^^^^^I don't have a child with any allergies, but this statement is so ridiculous...I don't even know how you could say something like that (using PB as moisturizer and touching everything). That's just wrong.

Given today's parents I'm really surprised that anyone is willing to coach a team. It isn't worth the bs and aggravation from every doting parent who has a complaint about the coach not treating the player like the little prince/princess the parents think they are.

I thank God every day that my kids don't have those allergies, and that my children are compassionate enough to make choices that are safe for those that do.

Walk a mile in my shoes bitch and then talk to me about your child the Saint who is so compassionate that he gave up eating peanut butter.

Seriously, how the fuck are parents of nut allergy kids going to be sure that nobody is bringing peanut butter or whatever stuff to school for lunch? I doubt very strongly that the teachers and the administration and lunch ladies are going to go around checking each kids sandwich and lunchbox contents for nut related items. I know for a fact that the school I work at has decided to be "nut free" but NO-ONE CHECKS LUNCHES FROM HOME! Therefore, there probably are WAY more nut products being sent to school than parents think. And unless some pea-addicted parents step up and come in to school to monitor those lunchboxes, none of this shit matters!
Whatever happened to leaving the kids out of this???
Obviously, they only do that if the child fits their definition of normal.
God forbid, a child's right to a safe environment at school impinge on their child's choices. The sad thing is that most children, if you asked them, would gladly take a different lunch to school to keep one of their friends safe.
If they don't, then perhaps their children are the ones that need to learn how to live in society.
As a community we should be helping each other, not tearing each other down. Isn't this something that we teach our children and yet the adults can't do it. Very sad.
"As a community we should be helping each other, not tearing each other down."
You make me sick.

Very sad :(
OMG, I'm laughing my ass off
I don't understand what makes that funny. Don't you want your children to be productive members of society who contribute to make this world a better place?
Listen, we all have things that make our children unique or vulnerable in some way. It's understandable that a PA mother wants to keep her kid safe and healthy. The problem is the mother that is so blinded by the idea that something terrible might happen to her kid she becomes irrational and expects her community to join in on the hysteria. There are some things that are just your problem, plain and simple. There are some things that just don't effect enough people for a major change to occur. I believe peanut allergies to be one of these things.
apparently not...
I KNOW that if my son refused to eat something other than a PB&J sandwich because of a child in his class/lunchroom with an allergy that could be life threatening...then he could eat his bag of chips, apple, and pudding. And if he's hungry still...then he can wait until he gets home to eat the PB&J.
But...I am raising my son to be flexible with the things that go on around him...and I think that he would gladly give up something his best friend couldn't eat/have around if that meant not sending his friend to the "isolation" table.
"But...I am raising my son to be flexible with the things that go on around him...and I think that he would gladly give up something his best friend couldn't eat/have around if that meant not sending his friend to the "isolation" table."
OH! Now our kids have to be friends! I see, you are manipulating everyone so your kid can have a cushy seat at the normal kids table. Well, fuck you!
I think though, that the extent of the risk should be taken into consideration.
For example, if the allergic reaction results in nothing more than a rash, or something relatively mild then fair enough, educate the children in the school to be careful with their sandwich wrappers and wash their hands after eating etc...
But there really are children who can die if they accidentally ingest peanuts. Some even react from the smell. (One boy had an anaphylactic reaction when a bully shoved a peanut butter sandwich under his nose - the surprise caused the allergic child to gasp.) He could have died.
It's just not worth it. A sandwich, a piece of cake, candy or granola bar are just not worth a child's life.
It's not about convenience or conforming. It's not about micro-managing other people. It's about preventing death.
If the schools could trust the parents to educate their child about the seriousness of these allergies, and if children themselves could be trusted to not play stupid pranks (like the bully mentioned above) then maybe they wouldn't have to ban nut products.
Because compassion and thoughtfulness can't be enforced, then rules about what food products can be brought into the schools may have to be.
A peanutard has a disablility like any other disability. The tards in the special class are given a free and appropriate education but everyone in school knows they are tards because they are in their own class.
Kids who have special needs who are mainstreamed can't always hide their disability, either. The one-legged kid may be in a regular class but there is no mistaking he's got but one leg.
The peanutard has to sit at his own table and all the other kids know he's a peanutard? Big fucking deal. At least he's got both legs. And can feed himself. Isolating himself from other people's food is part of his disability. Get used to it.
It's funny that most people seem to be pretty good about trying to help the kids that have the issues. It seems like a very small minority of people who are complete dicks about it. I would say that the person/people making such rude remarks about KIDS either have no kids...or their kids suffer from other issues and this just makes them feel better about their own life.
Segregating children is not good for the emotional health of any child.
Just ask the black folk...they're still upset about it today...and we'll be paying for it for a long time to come...
I'm just very skeptical about the whole peanut allergy thing. Are that many kids really deadly allergic?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are 4 children in my kids school who are THAT allergic. They have to carry epipens around with them everywhere on the offchance that someone has left peanut residue (from their hands) on furniture or something.
Without the epipens, they could possibly die before the paramedics arrive.
Those 4 children are all different ages, so it's not fair to expect them to only associate with each other.

Nope. It means your kid's problem is not going to become my kid's problem too. Now, you're dismissed.

You dumb cow. Of course it is your problem because if they make it a school rule then YOU have to deal with it. It's a shame they have to MAKE it a rule to keep kids safe.
HEY! I have an idea, because MY kid isn't psychotic I think he should be allowed to bring a knife to school. It's not MY fault if someone else uses theirs to kill someone.

My kid has rights too, just as much as yours does. You and your PA cannot keep my kid from eating peanut butter. My kid has food allergies too. Should they ban all foods that any of the kids are allergic to? Trix cereal? Velveeta? Ice pops? Peanut butter? Where will it end? I'll tell you. It will end in my kid's lunchbox. She carries what she likes to eat. If your kid has a problem with it, he/she can LEAVE. Your kid is not more important than all the other kids. Get over it. And the knife thing was just stupid.

What isn't fair is expecting an entire school to give up peanut butter because 2 or 3 kids can't have it. It is THEIR problem and it isn't FAIR to the rest of the kids to expect them to cater to a few.

It's JUST peanut butter for crap's sake. Kids have to give up a lot to go to school, daytime naps, sesame street, heck, even sliced apples.
The people who make such a stink over peanut butter should pick their battles. If this is the biggest thing you have to worry about then your life must be GRAND. "Waahhhhhhhh! It's not fair." It's about time you grew up and realized life isn't about being fair.
It's a small sacrifice to make to ensure the safety of another child.
If your child can't or won't conform to the school rules maybe you should keep them home. You are the unbending, intolerant one, not the PA child or their parents.

The kid is a peanutard and the parent is a fucktard. Get with the program!

"I would say that the person/people making such rude remarks about KIDS either have no kids...or their kids suffer from other issues and this just makes them feel better about their own life."
This whole conversation makes me feel great. I think we are well on our way to getting the peanutards their own table in the lunch room. Perhaps we have even helped a few of the fucktards realize that their child is not the only one in the school. But the real work is still ahead of us. There are more allergies to cover. What about the bee allergy child fending off bees all day? Perhaps a table with bug netting? Someone mentioned a whole town for peanutards earlier, perhaps this is something to consider for the beetard as well? We may not have time for the milktard and the shellfishtard but we should seriously discuss options for them while we are all here brainstorming.
"you make no attempt to further your understanding of this issue because you have formulated a conclusion only to be a contrarian."
Contrarian? Isn't that a species on Star Trek?
hmmm, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that sass/Leca is the one who posted about ScraPEAtacular.

That was hilarious
Les(Pea)ian is kinda dumb, isn't she?
I wish I could read the pea board but it is just too much for me. Why is someone sitting vigil at their uncles hospital on a message board? My family would flip out if I was that inconsiderate. mogley's uncle is almost brain dead and she is busy typing away on a computer. The doctor has to interrupt her typing to tell her his brain is bleeding and when he's done she goes right back to typing to update her prayer warriors. That is totally fucked up and just pisses me off.
i know...all that "Pray for this guy you don't even know....and for a pea you don't know either..." drives me up the wall.
What about Manda? She has soooo many sex toys she needs to appoint someone to care for them in the event of her death.

What's up with that? I get dumber just reading this shit.
Change "shellfishtard" to "clamtard." I know, I know. That doesn't cover lobsters, crawdads, mussels, etc. But I still like "clamtard" better.

I don't put an ice pack in my kid's lunch because he is a little obsessive and will play with the ice pack at lunch, poking holes in the pak, squishing out the blue gel, and generally pissing off everyone in the lunchroom.

the problem here seems to be that you've birthed an idiot. so you're willing to send a kid to the hospital because your child is a fucking dumbass?
clamtard rolls off the tongue. nice.

the problem here is not fear mongering, the problem here is some women do not know the meaning of rights.
The endless new school rules are just crazy when does it end? Here are all the things I enjoyed as a kid which now are banned in some or all schools.
No sharing lunch.
No peanuts.
No diary.
No homemade treats.
No sugary snacks at all.
No disposables in lunches.
Never mind that some places now forbid Halloween and Christmas or any sort of holiday celebrations. We might affend some minor religious group, etc.
The final straw came at my son's K orientation. I parent asked what ground cover was on the playground. When the teacher said tanbark, the mom said her son was allergic to tanbark and what were they going to do about that?
Apparently everyone should now stay inside so her son won't feel left out...
"EATING PEANUT BUTTER IS NOT A RIGHT."
Maybe not, but it's what's for lunch bitch.
your child's lunch is the least significant thing ever
you should be feeding it carrots and tofu so that you dont give rise to another obese
