I've always had a feeling it was a bunch of bullshit too. I have a relative that won't let her kids eat many common foods. The older child had some sort of sever reaction as a small child and the younger kid can't eat it just in case. Also, not letting peanut butter in to a school is just craziness. I remember in kindergarden our daily snack always involved peanut butter. It's a perfect food for a growing kid. How else you going to get a kid to eat celery?

How else would you want to eat celery?

One of my good friends is a vacciner and convinced one of her kids is allergic to everything under the sun. We just don't talk about it anymore, because we both end up annoyed with the other.

That's wise.
