Critics have found a number of ways to describe Sony Pictures’ new adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s mischievous yet beloved bunny, “Peter Rabbit.” The modern Peter Rabbit is a frat bro, a “raging narcissist,” a vandal that escalates a feud into a “truly sadistic display of violence.”
Now, the bunny character has been billed as something else — a food allergy bully.
The scene prompted intense backlash from allergy advocacy groups and parents of children with food allergies, who said it mocked an attack that in real life could have proved fatal. The segment led to a hashtag — #boycottpeterrabbit — and an online petition demanding an apology.

We should be careful not to melt the snowflakes.
Maybe what’s wrong with them is they aren’t allowed to see those great Warner Brothers cartoons any more...
Can someone please explain the gluten allergies to me? I have a niece that has two kids she says are allergic to glutens. Makes no sense to me at all.
Course I’m just an old man who eats everything.
What's a book?
One of my kids has many food allergies diagnosed through a blood test. The MD said it’s a textbook case of a premature baby. We were both given antibiotics at his delivery and they helped save his life, but can cause a leaky gut. As he got older and we introduced foods to him, his immune system fought against them as they “leaked” into his blood stream.
Now that I think about it, he’s not allergic to things that we don’t eat often: fish, pork, corn...

When my wife and I first heard of it, a cousin of hers was visiting us and told of her ‘celiac’ disease - a serious gluten allergy. My wife and I enjoyed wheat-based baked goods as much as anyone.
I thought the cousin was joking, she wasn’t.
After our daughter was born, my wife began to have extreme gastric distress and reflux after eating. We were mystified. I remembered what she had eaten recently, and remembered her cousin’s comment, and suggested staying away from gluten. It worked like magic.
The hybridization of wheat here has taken it a long way from the ‘bread and wine’ of biblical days. The chemical treatments alone are a little scary. As to what has happened, we simply accept the FACT that gluten is extremely unpleasant, if not dangerous to a lot of people.
Blood tests confirmed an allergy to gluten. It shouldn’t be the subject of humor or snide comments.
Although, ‘funny as a heart-attack’ says it all, I suppose.
The ultimate Peter Rabbit video has already been made. It’s “Peter Rabbit, Tank Killer”,

There is some crude language in the video btw
Tex Avery would have been kicked out of Hollywood years ago.
The classics are usually the best.
