Joshua, a 9-year-old who lives with a disease called eosinophilic esophagitis, is allergic to nearly all foods. Pizza, hot dogs, you name it, and Joshua likely cannot eat it, or even be allowed to taste it or smell it.

Joshua gets most of his nutrients through a formula prescribed by his doctor, and through a feeding tube in his stomach. Because of his disease, Joshua is homeschooled by his mother, and needs to live his life with extra caution.

Cara and Brant, Joshua's parents, show what a day is like in the life of a boy who cannot eat.

What would happen if Joshua did eat one of the many foods to which he's allergic? He could suffer severe pain, but there is also the possibility that he could die.

"There's not a minute that goes by that I'm not afraid," Cara says.

Isolated in defiance, I will remain
May the bridges I burn light my way
I will never comply, I'll forever defy

poor kid, but at least he's never had food, I do think it's a tiny blessing that if he has never had it, he can't miss it in the same way.

He should go to public school. All they need to do is ban food. Why not they do it for other kids with allergies.

Well they do it for the especially bad peanut allergy(which lots of kids have). I doubt he could die from just touching a surface with food and getting a little bit of it into his eye/mouth.

Banning is still a bad idea but the fear is understandable.
