I think maybe that's why I'm so shocked. When I was a kid (which admittedly was a long, long time ago) no one ever dealt with stuff like this. There was always like one or two kids with a milk or egg allergy, but that's it. And I never, ever heard of any kind of school policy like this, at least until I had kids of my own.

It makes me wonder if people are just really hypersensitive now, or if there's some kind of increase in food allergies since I was a kid.

I kind of wish I'd sent that e-mail too, but then I just know that the parent outrage and bickering that would erupt, while entertaining, would totally not be worth it in the end.
