Well, that’s a shame, but it’s still not wise public policy to choose the strategy that exposes a majority of children to an avoidable risk in order to protect a small minority of children from an unavoidable risk.
I don’t have a problem with that. I taught my son from an early age to read labels, and I occasionally gave him food containing peanuts so he would be vigilant in protecting himself.
As a toddler, he would scream in pain if he got anything with peanuts on his skin or in his mouth. I thought he would grow out of it, because I’d never heard of peanut allergies before.
But he has gone into anaphylactic shock twice because of ingesting peanuts.
