I guess my dilemna is that I have a couple of vegetarians in our school, and cheese sandwhiches get old quick. P & J offers another alternative for lunch. I guess what I wonder is couldn't there be a nut-free zone in the lunchrooms instead of an all-out ban? Unfortunately, when you have kids all day, meals are an issue. I do side with the fear of an allergy attack. My son has a strawberry allergy, and he loves to eat them if he can sneak them. This means I've made three trips to ER (one was a stay in ICU) cause the teacher forgot about his allergy. and my son ate them knowing he would have an attack. (he tells the teacher, the berries were good, but now I need my epi-pen, and call my mom or 911). He also has allergies to milk, and they provided soy substitutes for him. But at least milk isn't a possible fatal allergen like strawberries. Name: Email: Subject
