It's nice that you are so empathetic, but it is not just peanut butter. It is anything made out of peanuts, or made/fried in peanut oil, sometimes even anything that has come in contact with peanut dust in a factory.

Do you have any idea how many things you eat every day are made in factories that also make other products that may contain peanuts?

How would you feel if as a mother you cannot check every single thing your child eats? And if you don't, your kid might die?

I would be scared, just like you and praying for her. I would do it anyway, but I would homeschool her. My comment wasn't made, non caring. It's just that she can't be kept completely away from them in society.

We've had this argument in my county. Some want the schools to ban peanut butter and ban all students from bringing peanut edibles to school.

I say such a policy would be a diservice to the peanut allergy kids because it would give them the false impression that their world is a safe place, when the reality is that it is a deadly world and they have to be on guard everyday for the rest of their lives.
