1% of the population has this allergry so bad it could kill them?! BS.

How they re-arrange my life is that I happen to be quite fond of nuts. They're a tasty little snack and excellent for occasions like being on airplanes and at ball games, peanuts are part of the mistique of baseball, might as well have a 7th inning stretchless game for people in a hurry. The only one of those requests that's at all legitimate is the 3rd. Accurate packaging would help all people with food allergies and people on diets. The other two are completely bogus. Should the people that have tomato allergies get a pizza free section of the ballpark? The people with regular pollen allergies get a flower free section of the Rose Parade? I know, how about we chop up all public gathering spaces by the allergen their free of that way nobody will get the sniffles?! It's absurd.

1% of today's kids are getting the allergy. About half that are into the fatal range. I still don't see how a peanut free section at a ballpark has changed the way you live. Especially considering that none of those sections are government mandated - they are all private enterprises doing their capitalistic thing. Have you really been affected by a peanut free section at a ball field? Or are you just trying to create straw men. We are not talking about the whole stadium - just one section.
