So just how are these people who have these severe health issues with various foods (specially this one with all foods) going to grow up and be a productive citizen in society.

Way too many people have food allergies today, something messed up is going on. If I were the parent I would have put him down as soon as I realized the allergy, do we really want these type of people spreading their seed.



ROFL well-put, but I bet they were already attached by the time they realized how absolutely useless the creature is. Sad.

We should be allowing people with food allergies to die off to help the gene pool

If you want to start on eugenics, I have a long list of people that should die off. People wild food allergies aren't high on it...

Ban all food from his school.

That's what we would do if it were peanuts.

I saw a study the other day saying that there has been a massive accidental over-diagnosis of nut allergies due to the test being overly sensitive, and the real number that are allergic is actually a lot lower.

There has been a huge misunderstanding of the difference between intolerance and allergy, as well.

For instance, I have a soy intolerance. I can not digest it, and if I eat to much of it my digestive system rebels against me.

That doesn't mean I'm going to die from dipping my sushi in soy sauce. It just means I might get stomach cramps. Edamame and soy milk haven't killed me yet, but I know well enough to stay the hell away from them unless I want to sit on the toilet with a vomit bucket in front of me for a few hours..


My friend with a corn "allergy" thinks every time she gets a zit it's because she accidentally consumed corn...

lol yeah what if the only food Americans ate were peanuts? In that hypothetical society we would certainly ban all food! Even though the allergy would hardly exist since anyone carrying allergy genes would've died back in the 1700s or earlier.
