I agree with you. Where does it stop? A lot of people, myself included, eat peanut butter because it is a nutritious, inexpensive food. I'm sure a lot of lower income people are able to pack healthy lunches for their children by using peanut butter. Any child that has such a life-threatening condition needs to be trained to stay away from peanut butter - or if that is not feasible, quarantine the child at lunchtime. Oh, but it would make the child feel segregated - you say? He has a life-threatening condition, he needs to get used to having to take extreme measures to protect himself.
I'm tired of the majority of people having to take things to the extreme because of just a few people. This is ridiculous!
As much as I sympathize with those who have peanut allergies I wonder what would happen if a child has peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast (yes, my family has done this) or some other peanut butter treat in the morning, then the child goes to school with the peanut oil on them? I would assume that child being near an allergic child could trigger a reaction.
Thank you for expressing what the VAST MAJORITY of people think.
