Do you or does anyone you know have a food allergy? If so, how has this affected your (or his or her) life choices?
My children attend a church with 2 families with 5 children that each have a peanut allergy. The church responded by making the church “peanut/legume” free according to labels on food products. This means all potlucks, social events with food items, snacks before church, snacks during church school, and snacks at vacation Bible school are carefully monitored. Due to the purchase of products that are name brands and have labels, some greater expense has been incurred, although all church members agreed that life takes priority over a persons’ food preferences. Another artifact of having a “peanut free” environment is that no homemade products can be brought to any functions. In addition, hand washing is stressed prior to any play or group activities.
