A mother on a New York parenting blog wrote Monday that while shopping at the retailer, she gave her four-year-old daughter a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and "a woman stopped me to lecture me about peanut allergies." The child's mother then asked other moms on UrbanBaby if it was unacceptable to eat peanut butter in public. The anti-peanut butter backlash was swift and brutal. Most responses attacked the mother for potentially endangering children with peanut allergies. Some criticized her for feeding her daughter in a shopping cart, which they considered disgusting. "That's really inconsiderate," one person wrote. "So many kids have life threatening allergies to peanut butter. Eating it in a shopping cart GUARANTEES it will be smeared on the handle, etc. It's really awful you would do this. Sorry, but imagine if it were your child with the allergy."

Or orange juice - if we ever got to have some it was a little tiny glassful.

If the kid’s peanut allergy is that serious, keep them at home in a bubble or something. If the kid gets hurt because the parent is that negligent to allow them out in this big dangerous world when they are so fragile, then it’s the parent’s fault.
I do some of my grocery shopping at a nice store. They have an incredible fresh seafood section. If someone has a seafood allergy and come into the store, well, they may have a reaction. Does that mean, they should only carry pre-packaged crap?
Folks need to take responsibility for their own. If your child has allergies, avoid the trigger and be prepared. I have a friend whose son has developed tolerances for many things that he was deathly allergic to as a toddler. Yes, he is still violently allergic to some things. He carries an epi pen. His Mom is hoping to keep developing tolerances. She would never blame someone for living their life around themselves and not strangers.
Dagumm, I think you and I are related or went in the same school!
This also applies, to a lot of your posts!
Have a Great Day.
I just figure whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, and that my immune system is ready for anything now.
LMAO thanks for keeping me from having to type it!
It’s likely the same type as in HOAs who patrol neighborhoods looking for one weed in the yard.
Anyone that lets their kids be injected with God knows what because the government says to, is off the reservation nuts.
“What caused the prevalent onset of peanut allergies?”
I wouldn’t assume there is any actual increase in the allergies. “Peanut allergies” just seems to be one of those fashionable things that certain attention-seekers like to self-diagnose themselves or their children with.

There is no “peanut allergy now!”
Its a reaction to residual agricultural toxins.
Its a mystery why women have been subjugated for much of history.
Brave soul you are ;) I am 100% with you. 19A led directly to Americas current malaise. A truth that shall not be spoken. MGTOW.
Yep. I agree.
Anyone bothering my kids about it should make their funeral plans in advance.
When I was a kid in the late 50s neighbors would spank us and send us home when we misbehaved - and dad would spank us again. You would of had to kill a lot of people back then. Kind of a low bar for murder these days.
1960s it was a lunch staple. I never remember anyone having peanut allergies. There were not that many allergies. Period. I think many problems stem from lack of recesses outdoors and exposures to the possible allergens. It was sort of an inoculation.
Yep, my wife wants to throw out food after sell by dates and gets mad at me when I tell her we bought it so lets eat it. I am right most of the time. We wont talk about the one or two times I was wrong :)
Ban Snickers Bars now!
Mom hysteria run amok, aggravated by online consensus-seeking. Worst case becomes “everybody knows,” then come the pitchforks and torches.
WE NEED MANDATORY CART SANITIZING WASH STATIONS IN EACH STORE!
Wait... I’ll invent a car-wash like station for shopping carts to go through.
And I’ll make a fortune selling them to supermarkets once I get the government to make it mandatory that carts be sanitized after every use.
It’s OK if your grocery bill goes up some more... it’s ‘for the children’.
I don’t know how we survived the 60’s growing up playing in ACTUAL DIRT!
