Dude, when I was a kid, the most our school did was make a list with kid's allergies and send it to the cafeteria people so they knew what was going on if someone turned purple and broke out in hives. Also, maybe the teachers would have an epi-pen in their first-aid kid.
And it worked! No one died. In fact, the kids knew what they were allergic to and simple didn't eat the stuff. Or, they brought food from home! That's what I don't get. Why don't the kids with allergies bring their own food, rather than making everyone conform to their dietary needs?
Anyhow, I feel for you. I kind of wish you had sent that email, if just so that that lady would be set straight.
