I don’t disagree with you. However, there are some minimal things that can be done as a courtesy to the allergic person, without much inconvenience to the others. It angers me when people object even to these.

Agreed. It really wasn't that big a deal for the airlines to move move from crappy peanuts to equally crappy pretzels. (I am hoping that no one with a super severe wheat allergy doesn't have a problem.) I'd rather it happen outside of the legal process.

In the same vein, people with really severe allergies also have to understand that even intelligent people don't always no what things like "no sugar" and "no dairy" mean. In the case of the former, I don't know how many don't realize that ketchup is loaded with sugar, and most of those thigs with an "-ose" on the end are forms of sugar. In the case of the latter, my brother-in-law, as an infant was given butter in a Canadian HOSPITAL even AFTER being told he couldn't have dairy. The nurse assumed that he was lactose intolerant. In fact, he couldn't deal with dairy proteins and almost died (butter being a concentrated form and all). How a nurse could make such a stupid assumption with almost no upside and so much downside is beyond me.

No sympathy from me. Why don't you demand a private place for all those with allergies instead of demanding the rest of the world live according to your needs?
