Pretzels, as it turns out, are poisonous to those carrying any one of the genes that can cause Celiac disease (which, btw, is ultimately fatal if not treated).

We are 3.5% of the population whereas you peanut allergy folks are far less than 1.0%.

So, if the airlines are going to ban OUR FOOD they must necessarily ban wheat and wheat byproducts.

(NOTE: Peanuts are a good source of protein and carbohydrates for Celiac victims.)
