I understand parents not wanting a peanut ban, but why do they care if there is a peanut-free table??<br /><br />I agree that more advocacy is needed because in my personal experience many people don't get 2 things: that food allergies can be fatal and that food allergies are relatively easy to manage if you avoid the allergenic foods.<br /><br />Still, I mostly see compassion and a desire to help from the people I meet. Recently, one mom I know didn't serve her kids PB before they played with my daughter and I didn't even ask her to do that. That's progress in my book.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257784551296505299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32458049.post-58561580844679501292009-07-25T16:37:38.775-04:002009-07-25T16:37:38.775-04:00I've been pleasantly surprised here in Montana...I've been pleasantly surprised here in Montana-most of the waitstaff in restaurants seem to honestly want to help you avoid your allergens.

So many times I have gone out to eat and it takes several wait staff and managers until someone catches on! At the same time, in CT, I have noticed a huge bang in the nicer restaurants around here providing gluten free menus or labeling meals vegan!
