i really feel for the allergy moms. my cousin's daughter is deathly allergic to nuts and a couple of other things. it's been hard on them to find lots of good nutritious things for her to eat. she's a little skeptical of all foods at this point.

but i have a question about all of the nut allergies, don't people feel that nut allergies are a lot more prevalent now than they used to be? when i was in school, i didn't know one person who was allergic to nuts. now it seems like there are at least two or three kids in each class that are! i'm wondering what's changed.
