    yeah texas that does sound selfish. you cant segregate people because of their allergy. Im sure if you was allergic to pea nuts of someone close to you was you would feel the same about banning pea nuts in schools. you wouldnt want your child or love one to die because some kid is eatting pea nuts. put yourself in the parents position how worried you would be all time fearing that any day your child could die.

    This is probably gonna sound selfish, but it’s actually the exact opposite…
    I think it’s absolutley rediculous that they ban peanuts from Public schools. People (like myself) like peanuts and peanut butter. Why should we cater to a small fraction of the population?? We shouldn’t. If it’s not safe to be around peanuts, they should go to a separate school, or homeschooling. This is a “free country” we should be able to eat what we want, wherever we want. It’s selfish to say OTHERWISE.

    A good amount of allergist think the allergy is caused by over exposure to peanuts. I am firm believer that peanuts are one of the most incredible discoveries in human history.

    This is great news! I have had a peanut allergy since i was born and i hate some stupid commenters on this video. They think we want to be cured of this allergy to eat peanuts. Maybe we dont want to accidently eat something with traces of peanuts. I have almost died 5 times bcuz of this allergy. This is exciting news!
