I actually think that nuts are used and eaten more than we ever used to. Go back hundreds of years and did they eat peanut butter? It's something I'm curious about.

I'm lucky the school I'm sending DS to next year takes allregies quite seriously. Apparently they have a girl there that they describe as being allerguc practically to everything and they have managed to keep her well.

We've never been huge nut eaters so I don't find it to be such an annoyance to exclude it, even before DS' allergy.

I'm curious as to the lifestyle changes that would eradicate allergies? I would have thought obesity would be at the top of the list of things that should be fixed, that causes many many problems for individuals and society yet that is swept under the carpet. I often get upset looking at the rubbish people eat then my boy gets the allergy when we eat very well (sigh)
