When I was growing up (in the 80s) the kids with severe allergies ate in a different lunch area altogether.

Being a parent, why risk it? Just have your kid eat somewhere other than the main cafeteria and you’re good to go.

Because that makes too much sense. If you have special needs kids to look out for, it's easier to just encroach on the freedoms of others to eat what they want, rather than to make special accomodations for those with needs.

Suffering must be shared equally. One size must fit all.
Didn't you read the manual for liberalism??

When I was a kid growing up (in the 50s & 60s), we were too worried about things like polio and nuclear strikes to worry about imaginary ailments.

Plus, every adult smoked everywhere and kids played in the dirt like they were meant to do.

I think that has something to do with it.
