Back when I was a kid and in grade school I never heard about people having food allergies.
Lactose intollerant? Diverticulitis? Nut allergies? When did all these come about? Now I hear that some schools won't allow a kid to bring in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to school because some other kids may have a nut allergy! Isn't PB&J a rite of passage for some kids? A sunflower butter and fruit spread sandwich on spelt bread (for the wheat allergy) just doesn't cut it. Wash it down with a nice glass of soy or rice milk? I don't think so!!
Where were all these "different" kids when I went to school? I just think it kind of sucks for the kids that don't have food allergies. Maybe they could set them up at a special school and the kids that have vegetarian parents that are raising them as such (no choice) could attend as well. That sounds fair and just.
