If notfor peanut butter my kidwould have starved to death in school. He would not eat anything the cafeteria served, except for corndogs or chicken strips. How much longer until the people tell places like this to kiss off? Is it time for Scotty to beam us up??? fullclip |

Strange how we humans ate peanuts for millennia before this "peanut allergy" suddenly arose.
I don't recall hearing of this condition prior to, say, 10 years ago... If it's a genuine, life-threatening condition, though, I guess doing without peanust is a small price to pay so's not to sicken or kill someone. It does make one wonder what other common items will be found to be potentially toxic and lethal allergens, and subsequently banned. |

A clone for peanut 12 desaturase (D12) was isolated from a cDNA library using a probe from A. thaliana. The sequence is 1379 bp in length and has 63% sequence identity with the D12 cDNA from A. thaliana. The putative protein size from translation of the cDNA is 43.6 kDa. The protein sequence was used to select peptide fragments to create artificial antigens used in rabbit immunizations. We screened western blots of normal (F78-1339) and the high oleate mutant variety (F435) peanut microsomal proteins with the antibodies. Three bands were identified at approximately 60, 38, and 21 kDa in both normal and mutant varieties. We believe the 38kDa band is the D12, modified post-translationally to slightly smaller size than predicted by sequence analysis. The peanut cDNA was used to probe RNA from the first three stages of seed development for the normal and two mutant high oleate varieties (F435 and SunOleate). The transcript detected was approximately 1400 bp in length in both the normal and mutant peanuts. The largest concentration of mRNA for the D12 is present in stage 2 of the normal peanut. While both mutant phenotypes contained the D12 mRNA transcript, neither showed evidence of a larger quantity of mRNA in any particular stage. There is evidence that a larger transcript (4100bp) is present in both normal and mutant peanuts. D12 cDNA from both mutant varieties was generated by RTPCR and is currently being sequenced.

BULLSHIT! Show me the medical evidence that [b]"Several children entering Smyrna's Nickajack Elementary School this year have allergies so severe they are life-threatening, said new Principal Constance Carter. Some people are so allergic that even breathing peanut dust can trigger a reaction"[/b]
Come on...I want their physicians to tell the world that this stupid assertion is based in fact. THAT isn't likely to happen any time soon...'cause I think it's all a lie. What a silly load of cow pies! If this severe allergy problem among children is true, WHY has it not manifested itself before now...Hmmmmm? Come on folks! Kids have been eating PB&J for decades and only recently have the Food Police begun this silly attack. The Food Police are out after your PB&J sammiches kids! Hey...you know what? I'll bet this babe...this Ms Constance Carter, is a flaming liberal with a cause around every corner...and she's probably married to an ambulance chasing, scum sucking, bottom feeding, ACLU-card-carrying, litigant who's about to file a huge class action suit against the peanut industry.

He may be 'George Washington Carver' to you, but he's 'Adolph Eichmann' to us, wheezed a group of young headfulls of mush!
So, I suppose that it's about time we all admitted to ourselves that this 'last great hope of mankind', this 'shining city of light set upon on a hill', this 'nation so conceived and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal', has failed. Whatever the Founding Fathers thought that they had created so long ago, has since failed. And that failure is not the result of some national calamity as they may have feared, it has not fallen to a foreign foe, it has not even fallen from civil insurrection. It has fallen because the children have simply not learned the lessons that have been handed down to them. They have refused to do their homework. They scoff at the very idea that those tiresome dead white males had anything of worth or merit to teach them. So the dullards who didn't pay any attention in civics class and history class in school, are now running the education system. It is the revenge of the idiots. Eric The(Disgusted)Hun[>]:)] |

If these people are that allergic to something common and can't stay away from it, they weren't meant to survive. Next do we forbid people from showering or washing their clothes because some people are allergic to fragrances in soaps, shampoos and detergents?
Of course, the logical extension of this nonsense is charging kids who smuggle peanut products onto campus with attempted murder. Now the most serious problem with letting these people live is that they'll grow up and become adults who demand special priviledges because they're genetically defective. Imagine this policy being put into place where you work because one freak claims it as a disability. |

In addition, the Cobb County school district has banned the ownership of peanut butter by anyone who has a child attending a school in the district, it was reported today. Constance Carter the principal of Smyrna's Nickajack Elementary School stated "Since some children are so allergic to peanut butter, including severe allergies to peanut dust, we are dedicated to making our school a 'Peanut Free Zone'". She then continued "Random searches of the homes of students will be conducted by the BATFPB (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Peanut Butter). Anyone found having peanut butter, Resses’s peanut butter cups, Resses’s Pieces, or loose peanuts will be charged with a Class A Felony". Remember, we are doing it for the children. Yes, I’m joking… |

I have never seen dust come from a peanut butter jar..how about you?. My daughter can ask the kids next to her if they are allergic to peanuts...if not, then she will eat with those students. If so, then the student can move or my daughter can move. This is no laughing matter!

So what are the consequences for bringing PB to school? Are they really going to deprive a child of education simply because he/she wants peanut butter? How is that different from having, maybe, a special class in a cleanroom for allergic children?
Does this also mean I can't bring my favorite barn cat to show and tell (my niece named him Peanut Butter)? |

Once again you see the Minority trying to rule and control the masses. I have lived in Cobb county since 78. I have seen many changes in this area, as well as all of Georgia. I hate to say this but it's true, Constance Carter is a Black American. She and many others in her leadership role have formed a very strong coalition to fight prejudice in every form...and they live by the moto: Minority MUST BE HEARD(and OBEYED). The problem with most y black societies in Georgia is that they have left the racial issues behind(because most dont exist any more) and have gone on to any issue they can use to keep their organizations alive and running. I see it everyday...I can almost gaurantee this is what's going on here....A Black American Woman still fighting for minority rights under the old, ALL or Nothing routine...no compromises, even if compromise is possible and makes more sense.

Two words: Bubble Boy
If they are that allergic, they should be walking around in bubble suits. Sooner or later, they will accidentally get some peanut on them and die. They have also banned peanuts from most airlines. They only have nasty snacks now. "The needs of the few or the one outweigh the needs of the many." |

There is NO government conspiracy here to deny you peanut butter ! I happen to have a niece that is allergic to several foods, including peanuts. I have seen all the things that my sister has to go thru regarding this. Preparing special foods, always being aware of what foods she comes in contact with, and always carrying special medicine with you in case she needs it. No one is trying to BAN peanut butter. They are simply trying to prevent certain kids from ALWAYS being sick (or worse) because of a foods allowed at school. Some of you people need to take off the tin foil hats and stop being so damned paranoid. [stick] |

If my kid was sensitive to "peanut" dust I think the first thing I would do is move to another state. Isn't Georgia a major peanut producing state? Has to be a lot of peanut dust in the air. I would have to call bullshit on the dust sensitivity. Maybe if they stick their head in the storage bin on a peanut farm.

I dont ask the rest of the world to walk on my left side so I can see everyone. I have limitations. I know what they are. I dont accept them all the time and I try to fight back occasionally but the truth always comes out, I am blind in one eye and its not the rest of the worlds fault. Your niece has the problem not us. She needs to stay away from peanuts, not us. She needs to do everything in her power to make sure that happens, NOT US. Now if she is locked in a elevator for days on end with only a bag of peanuts and some insensitive jerk is asked by her to please put the peanuts away, well then I would side with her. But until that happens she can just make adjustments in her livelyhood, rather than asking the rest of the world to accomodate her. [;d] |

Yeah, no shit. So these little kids are learning that just by being weak, the whole world will bend to their will and accomodate them. That is bullshit. I mean, if a kid is allergic to peanuts, then he should learn to deal with the world instead of forcing everyone else to do what he wants. Put the allergic kids outside or something. Have them eat somewhere else, but don't teach them that by whining about an allergy, the whole world will change! By the way, a couple years ago, the FAA banned peanuts on airplanes for the same reason as this school. That's why they give you pretzels and shit and not peanuts anymore. This is kind of like those people who tell you they are allergic to cigarettes. They never existed until it became cool to persecute smokers. Now they are crawling out of the woodwork like termites! They don't have the guts to actually tell people that they are too much of a prissy bitch and can't be within 30 feet of a cigarette so they say, "I'm allergic!" And you know what? I think those people really do talk themselves into having a psychosomatic reaction. I don't even smoke anymore, but I can still recognize liberal weaklings when I see them! -Nick Viejo |

Shit, I'm allergic to work but no one seems to care. We cannot accomodate every ailment (or perceived ailment). Dust and Pollen are allergens, but they are typically not the fatal variety. Some children could be allergic to the point that sitting next to someone eating peanuts WOULD cause them to be very sick or possibly die. Now, most children that severe would have the necessary medicines available. But it's unnecessary to put them at that risk. Let's look at this hypothetically: If you feed someone poison and they die from it, you are responsible for their death. Your actions directly caused it. Now, if you know someone is allergic to peanuts, and you plop down beside them with a big ol' bag of them and they get sick, you are responsible. Your actions caused it. Look, it just seems like everyone on this board reacted in a way to this story that is out of character. When a story about a child being abducted is posted, every body starts screaming about what type of monsters these people are for hurting innocent children and what they would do them if they found them. Then this story comes out about peanut allergies, and the attitude is "screw 'em". There are posts here where people want to paint the walls with peanut butter, spray the allergic kids with Peanut butter etc. etc. Doesn't make sense to me. |

Had an interesting conversation with a pediatrician this week. My wife and I are getting ready to go to China to adopt our first child. And he said that a lot of those kids don't show any allergic reactions until after they come to the states. The reason is that when they are over there, their bodies are to busy fighting off parasitic and bacterial infections to deal with alergies. But once they are cleared of all the other problems they then start showing allergies.
My guess, and that is what this is, is that as we have emilinated more and more diseases and parasites our bodies now have the capacity to be allergic to certain things. I am not saying this is the case. But is a logical if what the doctor said is true. |

Part of the problem has been pegged in 2 different posts.
GM foods. The other half - I would put money on it if I had some money - is that medical science is saving babies that would just have died a few years ago. You can look at some of the interesting birth defects that are showing up in larger quantities now, and see how the cutting edge of technology permits many disabilities to be counteracted to a less than deadly effect. I have met several people with disabling conditions that would have killed them before adulthood, had it not been for very experimental, very new medical procedures. I dated one. Has this peanut allergy gone undetected in the past, and resulted in deaths of unknown cause? Are there any other conditions present in the peanut allergy people? Double(Cruel,Insensitive)Feed |

My step-cousin is allergic to almost every grain in existence. He can't eat any kind of bread or bread-type food, peanut butter, plus he's allergic to all dairy products. Maybe the degrading gene pool (and I do mean that literally, because everytime a person dies, at least half their DNA is lost) is causing genetic mutations resulting in severe allergies to common things. The end might come to us all through as stupid a thing as being allergic to food. Scary thought ain't it.
If I were living in Cobb County I'd send my kid (if'n I had one of course) to school everyday with a gigantic, super thick-spread peanut butter sandwich just to piss off the fuckers in the school system. Teachers truly are the lowest of our society, sad. Edited to say: 223-Buckaroo, fuck your neice. I'm allergic to tree pollen, therefore, no more fucking trees. I don't give a shit if others like trees, and they are good for the health of the planet, I'm allergic so they all have to be destroyed. What I just wrote makes as much sense as [b]other[/b] parents having to plan their children's lives around one kid who is in the minority. She has the problem. She needs to avoid peanuts. That's her and her parents' responsibility. Get used to fucking life dweeb. I'm tired of cry-baby little shitstains expecting others to modify their G-D lives to make them happy, or safe. It sounds to me like your little precious neice's parents need to find a way to get around her disability without interferring with the lives of everybody else. |

Quoted: Actually, the story is quite incorrect. The school is setting up a separate dining area for the peanut allergic. Now, some moron parent will probably sue for the child being ostracized and made to feel different. [rolleyes] |

Quoted: Why is there wide spread allergic reaction to peanuts all of a sudden. It didn't seem to be a problem a few years ago. exactly, notice that several airlines pulled them off planes too? (thats the reason I was told) [rolleyes] |
