I have mixed feelings about the nut free schools. I can understand completely from a parents side. I have a child with severe allergies, but that is MY problem and I have to take care of it. My son has asperger syndrom, and anyone that knows anything about this know they are on a routine that is almost impossible to change. From grade one he took a peanut butter sandwich ( had to be cut on a diagonal), three slices of cheese (thinly sliced), one red delicious apple (with no bruises), two chocolate chip cookies (chip not chunk), and an orange juice box. Last year the school introduced a nut-free school. I have tried everything for him to a eat lunch and it is no use. My biggest problem is that because he does not eat alot of meat he is not getting the protein he requires. I do what I can to try to keep the other kids safe at school, but at the same time I use peanut oil to do all my cooking, as it is suggested by a doctor for my mother's health. I am sure when he goes to school there are remnants of this oil somewhere on his body. I sure wouldn't go as far as purposely putting nuts in his lunch, but I will not check my groceries for products with nuts, I just do not have the ability nor the time to do this.
