He seems to think that food allergic families should cope by closing our eyes and wishing that we didn't have to prevent our kids from contact with allergens and then, presto! The reaction risk is suddenly false and unfounded. Unfortunately for Dr. C. magical thinking doesn't work with regard to life-threatening food allergies.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Wood, on the other hand, had sensible comments to offer. I'm glad to hear his moderate views.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257784551296505299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32458049.post-9062249033648081832009-01-05T11:37:00.000-05:002009-01-05T11:37:00.000-05:00After reading the TIME article, it seems that perh...After reading the TIME article, it seems that perhaps there is some confusion between a nut-free zone and a nut-free school. I have not encountered any parents of non-allergic children who are against the presence of an "allergy table" (a nut-free zone) in a school cafeteria. It is not uncommon, however, for there to be an outcry when a school bans peanuts/nuts altogether.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164629139866540075noreply@blogger.com
