They did. The most workable solution was a ban.
The all natural stuff (to most kids) tastes like ass and costs about 3x more than the processed shit, and still doesn't change the issue regarding the fatty oils. You tell me which one most of "these" (the complaining) parents are likely to buy?
For what it's worth, we buy natural almond butter and for the kids with tree-nut allergies in our house sunflower seed butter. Of course my kids aren't your typical kids anyway (I have an 11 year old vegetarian FFS).
It's popular because most kids love it.
I have taken 1 thing away from this thread.
I want a PB&J.
AKA, she demanded it. AKA, the lazy way.
You still haven't explained why this is lazy as opposed to people who cant think of anything else to put in their kids lunchboxes.
I'm talking about active children, not myself. The small daily amount of saturated fat is because it's not needed, and clogs the arteries.
Correct, sodium is bad per se. It needs balance. How many people do you think actually know that though?

Already did. You still haven't had any comment about the milk allergy link I posted. It's deadly, yet milk is still served.
no they didn't they took the easy way out. Instead of takeing time to teach the students on how to be careful, to clean up after lunch, to understand WHAT is in the food they are eating , To understand what to look for and what to do in the situation instead they banned it.
I know a guy who got himself hospitalized, because he kissed his girlfriend - who had a Snickers before. Whenever there was a risk of peanuts in the room, he warned everyone, that if he were to get red in the face, an ambulance was to be called immediately.
Not to mention, that PB&J isn't healthy even for most of the non-allergic children.
But this is such a classically American response, that it is quite entertaining to follow. One should never give up luxury, even if another's life is at risk. Institutionalized egoism still going strong.
wow dude. that's....
*sunglasses*
...nuts!!
sounds like you're......
*sunglasses*
.......jelly!!
Yes, when that kid with the allergy gets older they'll be exposed to peanuts in the real world.
What about now? Do these children not go to church, join scouts, play sports, attend movies, and so on? Do the parents get to ask all those people not to eat or have eaten or have been near anyone who has eaten or have on their person any nut or product containing nuts? I understand the dilemma but, if I had a child whose life was in danger from even a casual exposure to nuts, I would hate to depend on, or even ask for, the compliance of a bazillion other people in order to safeguard them. I don't know. Maybe I would feel differently if I had, or even knew, such a child.
I thought this was going to taste like shit, but it's actually quite good.
Its about minimizing the risks whilst still giving the kid a relatively normal life.
My kid wouldn't eat it...
