Well that was the plan. I started him out on peanut butter diluted with water, so he didn't have to chew it. My wife found some food tubes that have peanut butter, so we switched to that. Since then we have added other nuts to his diet.
Unless he disobeyed a direct order from the captain of the aircraft.
Prepare to defend yourself. His life or the daughters.
Not kidding.
Yes
I agree
Thank you for the reply:)
I guess the view out your navel is somewhat distorted
now THERE’s a stupid...
even stupider than your original post
No self-respecting conservative should be using Google.

“Hold on. My understanding is that even those folks who have severe peanut allergies actually have to ingest the proteins in peanuts to trigger a physical response. If this young lady is collapsing from the mere smell of peanuts, it’s likely a psychosomatic response of someone suffering from severe anxiety.”
My thoughts exactly...with a healthy dose of momma telling her every day she could die from a peanut.
I was anxious to try them after hearing so much. But I haven’t found them better than lots of fast-food burgers.
It’s telling that the first instinct of so many, in particular those who have some power however temporary, resort to authoritarianism. I’m thinking in this case that the age old stereotype of airline stewardesses as attractive empty heads - many without the attractiveness - hasn’t left us. Thugs dying to be let out.
The obvious solution would be to offer an alternative snack.
There was for a while a disastrous attempt to presume all babies were born with all types of allergies until proven otherwise, just in case. Now, most doctors have adopted the opposite strategy: expose children to small amounts of commonly allergenic substances to prevent the allergies.
Close: it’s the presumptively sterile and hypo-allergenic environment kids are raised in. If immune systems don’t get to work on what they’re supposed to, they go crazy on whatever they encounter.
... although vaccines, ironically, may HELP by giving the immune system something to work on. (THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR THIS SECOND SUPPOSITION.)
A follow up thread regarding anaphylaxis, allergies and asthma as discussed in professional literature.
From the studies, the answer is "very, very unlikely".
Next question - Why the increase in allergies and asthma in minors?
Close. Due not to vaccines, but overly sterile, hypoallergenic environments.
Hmmm ... so mud and the great outdoors might not be the worst thinks for kids, after all?
POssible, leguma (hee hee), but this seems to strong to be psychosomatic. If people normally eat peanuts on the plane, I wonder if this isn’t simply a wierd coincidence: Girl has anaphalactic shock from sitting in a pile of peanut dust while a guy HAPPENS to eat peanuts ten rows away.
