They have so many preservatives in them they'd probably last a week.

When did this happen?

Just because some people are allergic to peanuts doesn't mean that they should take it away. You just have to make sure there are other options.

You have to understand that some people are so allergic that some other kid eating peanut butter is enough to set off an attack. And rates are climbing. In another 300 years we might consider peanuts to be poisonous, plain and simple, and be confused by these historical writings that clearly refer to eating them.

Over the last 5 years.

it's so crazy here that they don't make the kids wash their hands before they eat lunch, but they do afterwards just in case they came into contact with peanuts whilst visiting one of the few areas in school where peanuts are allowed.

At my infant/ middle school (5-12) we used to line up and wash our hands after the bell rang for lunch. Then depending on which lunch sitting you were on, most children used to go outside to play on the playground or the school field before being summoned in
