I never got any acknowledgment of my submission to Allergic Living. So I decided to self-publish it on the Creativity Post.

very clear. wish I had read this in 2006 -- when preschool began. My preschool was peanut-free and it was, as you may geuss, highly resented by some, and there were a sprinkling of menschs. While my child does have a high tolerance of traces -- back then I HAD seen him react to crumbs on tables from peanut butter cookies with hives on face and coughing. So i'd say it was a justifiable accomodation.

I was astonished when in K - which was NOT p-free to discover they'd resent p-free parties -- for 11 little kindergarteners. Astonished. And the resentful parents who bring stuff in despite the teacher's request that they do not ---Now I get it. And this article really addresses that.

My piece was republished here in the Philadelphia Jewish Voice.

I'm so thrilled that this is getting the wider attention that it so rightly deserves, Momcat!!

I don't even have words to thank you enough.
