how does the customer know that the restarant puts in a dish? The waitstaff has to be informed as to whats in a dish. Does the chicken pot pie have peas? If it’s not in the menu description, how does the customer know?

People whose allergies must be that fastidiously mitigated against constitute probably less than one percent of the population. I'm speaking as the parent who raised a child with food allergies. Yet muslims constitute more than one percent of the population in the U.S. Shall we then require all restaurants to install foot baths and prayer rooms, and whipping posts for women who do not wear the hijab or who show their ankles?

Tyranny of the minority is no better than tyranny of the majority. When we went to restaurants with our chlld, whose food allergies were severe enough to warrant "the shots" every few days, we asked a few questions, took his inhaler, and taught him to push any dangerous morsels aside.

It’s about 8%.

Muslims can tell that their rogan josh does not contain a footwashing station. They can’t see if it has cashews, though.
