That being said, this mother’s FIRST instinct in trying to protect her allergic child is to LOBBY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to REGULATE the behavior of others.

What would you do?

How do you know this is her FIRST effort to protect her child?

I would decide if it was that severe that he couldn’t go to places that might cause a threat to him including air travel. It is called sacrifice.

Pretty basic.

You have to be a special kind of weird to lobby the federal government to change the world for your individual situation.

Drive, take the train, charter a plane.

I’m sympathetic to people with food allergies, especially severe ones like peanut, but they still need to understand that their allergies are their problem and they need to handle it. We’ve gotten this wave in America lately where one person’s allergy becomes everybody’s problem. Don’t eat bread around celiacs, “peanut-free zones”, and on and on. It’s gotten quite silly. If you need an edited version of the world around you you need to edit it yourself. And really, given how the air recirculation system in planes works inconveniencing the nearest 9 passengers won’t really help her kid, if peanut dust gets in the air from anywhere it’ll get to her kid.

How about she doesn’t take her child on an airplaine. That should be her first effort to protect her child.

First INSTINCT—not first effort.
