Government to School Kids: Say Bye Bye to Baked Sales

I wonder why so many kids have peanut allergies these days? It seems to be increasing.

Yup, I notice like that too.

I was raised in 1980's and 1990's so I never see any of peanut allergies at school and just heard about peanut allergies have been increased after graduated from HS in 2006.

I remember about our elementary school is used to serve sandwich with peanut butter or vegetables with peanut butter cup for lunch but not anymore.

I believe that local public schools are free to not follow the federal law but they could lose the federal funding.

Some experts claim that children acquire peanut allergy because either the mother ate peanuts while nursing, or the children ate peanuts before age three.

The people of America's Southeast, Vietnam, and areas of Africa grow and consume the most peanuts. Asians, Africans, and people of the American Southeast use lots of peanut oil for cooking. Presumably, their children should be the highest percentage with peanut allergies, right? But they are not.

I did a little searching, and found that there is no racial or ethnic propensity for peanut allergies. (My research wasn't extensive, so there could be disagreement.)

Did you find anything along that line?

I started ate cracker with peanut butter when I was 2 years old, same with banana with peanut butter so I'm not allergic to peanut butter.

nope...



My theory is that America is heavily reliant on chemicals because the regulation on chemical is atrocious. The worst part? we're consuming it for decades and now the symptom is starting to show. Europe and Asia have a very very strict regulation and the people are extremely self-conscious about it but not America.



why the atrocious regulation on chemicals used in products and food? maybe a nefarious motive is to make people reliant on healthcare/medications for life till deaths? :dunno:

Honestly, that's what I think. I think our body been mistaken peanut for chemicals. That even if you eat organic peanuts, it still think its harming our body.its also genetic. Just about all my family and husband family have bad allergies.

Last week, I ate cracker with peanut butter in late night and it was good.

If I'm allergic to peanut butter so I will be VERY SAD for sure because I love peanut butter.

Reese - yummy...

i have always felt that americans in particular consume a large and varied amount of chemicals in their lifetimes. people who were born i the 80's onward would be getting even more chemicals than someone born before the 80's. there is no escaping it since it is so pervasive. this is why people are trying to go natural as much as they can with food and anything else they consume, wear or live with

It is really hard to buy any cloth that are natural today! Nothing is 100 % cotton anymore! And everything is made in China today so you never know how your clothes are really made anymore! More seafood is being farm raise today too! How unnatural that is!

some schools made rules too. Like my kids' school don't allow to bring homemade cakes for kids birthday. cake or cupcakes must be bought at the store that is allowed for kids birthday at school. sad.

WTF? Store bought is way unhealtier on account of the additives they put into them compare to the homemade, baked from scratch goodies that Mom puts into them.

Mmmmmm, made from scratch goodies *drools*

as claimed by experts - the "genetic" allergy to peanut is rare.

rare, but I still think some people are more prone to peanut allergies because of their genetic traits.

Like me, my son, my brothers.. we all have asthma. Is it genetic? or environmental? both? why my other siblings don't have it?

genetic doesn't mean 100% guarantee that your siblings would get it. it's based on "Genetics Probability of Inheritance" (Punnett Square)

For ie - hearing father + deaf mother (deaf due to genetic) = their child will have a 50% chance of being deaf.

it also depends on if either parent has a recessive gene or not. to answer your question - I don't know if it's genetic or environmental. The only way to answer this question is to get as much family history along with medical history as you can and then show it to experts. I believe Blood Testing (very expensive) can confirm this too.
 
The first I have heard of Peanut Allergy was when I was in Canada in 2000. So yeah,never had anyone with peanut allergies when I was growing up.
 
on the other hand, I have heard plenty of people getting anaphylaxis from bee stings. Still rare as peanut allergies though.

Parents are not allowed to pack any candy or cupcakes in their kids lunches at the schools in my city as the schools put a ban on this! Some parents are not happy with being told what they can give their kids! And the ban has nothing to with peanuts allergy, it has to with kids getting too fat!
