Great idea. Pull them off when they rot and they'll leave great polka dots on the walls.smoothmarine187 said:Did you just copy this out of Tiggs forum?
My girl's school has never had issues with kids bringing peanut butter/products. Veggrrrl still eats dairy, but a ban on PBJs would definatly cramp her style.
It's all about lawsuits and liability protection. Nut allergies tend to be the mother-of-all-allergies as in possibly fatal. A kid could stop breathing from exposure. Seems like more kids are developing nut allergies these days? I don't think I knew a single kid who had them growing up.

......: Here are some key results of the snack taste test, in which children rated snacks from 1 (great) to 5 (yuck) and indicated whether they would like their parents to buy them for home. (See the full results in the illustration at right, and view brief video comments from some of the participants at www.leanplateclub.com.)
Winners: Snyder's 100 Calorie Pretzel Snaps and Nature Valley Oat and Honey Crunch Granola Bars tied for first place as the best of 16 snacks tested. The granola bars clock in at 90 calories each but come two to a packet, so be sure to split them.
Third place: Quaker Mini Delights 90 Calorie Pack. These multigrain snacks had a chocolate drizzle that proved popular with testers but also packed 3.5 grams of saturated fat per serving, so it would be best to alternate them with healthier options.
Del Monte Mandarin Oranges came in fourth on taste, proving that fruit can be a popular snack. Trader Joe's Low Sodium Gourmet White Popcorn snagged fifth place.
Other favorites included Chips Ahoy 100 Calorie Chewy Granola Bars, SunChips 100 Calorie Mini Bites Cinnamon Flavor, Jell-O Fat-Free Chocolate Vanilla Pudding, Yoplait Kids Banana and Strawberry Yogurt Drink, Wheat Thins 100 Calorie Toasted Mini Chips, Mott's Organics Original Apple Sauce, Del Monte Tropical Fruit Cups and Earthbound Farm Organic Carrots With Ranch Dip.
Least favorite: Sargento Chipotle Cheddar Cheese Sticks. Eleven testers found them too spicy. Trader Joe's Granny Smith Dried Apple Rings got yucks from seven kids for their unfamiliar texture. Seven children also rated Tribe Hummus and Crackers With Sweet Roasted Peppers as "yuck," although two testers gave them the highest rating and three said they'd like to eat them at home.

I love the canned fruit but they are really high in sugar. My son loves raisins, apples, crackers, and cheese cubes. I have it easy.BadGirl said:

Sounds about right. Like I said- all about liability.
A true nut allergy sends you into anaphylactic shock. Requires a couple EpiPens, not a tube of Cortaid.

Something to understand about peanut allergies:
It's NOT just peanuts that cause the allergy. AND, it's not just eating them that causes it. A person with a peanut allergy comes in contact with the oil from the nut on a table or something, that can trigger the allergy. Given that this allergy is one of the most fatal, that's not something to sneeze at!
My little one had a peanut allergy kid in her class last year. All kids brought in their own snacks - sans peanuts! It was no big deal to follow the rule to ensure that some kindergarden kid didn't suffer (or die) from his allergy that's no fault of his own.

Just like ALL allergies there are different 'levels' (for the lack of a better word). Not EVERYONE that is allergic to peanuts is going to die by inhaling peanut fumes. I'm sure there were kids in everyone's schools that were allergic to peanuts, but not ONE of the schools in our day made PB&J a contraband item.Tinkerbell said:
I mean, do they not allow the kids that are allergic to bees to go out for recess? Can't bee stings be fatal to kids that are allergic? Please, tell me the difference... Are kids with Peanut allergies more important than bee sting kids? Why chance having a kid bring a bee in the school, make recess illegal!!

I guess they are just doing what they can to control what they can control. If they know for a fact that a kid in the class has a peanut allergy, what's wrong with limiting the contact possiblities for that kid? It's not that big of a deal to ban peanuts from the classroom. They didn't ban PB&J's from lunch. I don't know thier reasoning. I'm just guessing. Maybe it just makes the parents feel better. :shrug: My oldest has a allergy to sulfa medications that cause her to go into anaphalactic shock (sp?). Luckily, it's not something she's exposed to in the daily world. But, it was incredibly scary when she went into shock from it at 18 months old. I thought she was going to die. I guess this makes me understand a parents point of view about thier kids allergies.itsbob said:
