In this day and age, you would expect there to be a few food allergies in a class of kinders…wheat, peanut butter, eggs, dairy, etc. Liam’s class doesn’t have any of those, but there are two kids who have some kind of strange allergies, one of them being life threatening. One of them is allergic to juice, yep, juice. Okay, he’s actually allergic to the preservative that is used in juice, but it cuts out a lot of foods he can eat. The other is allergic to a specific red dye, but that also means she can’t eat things that are orange, purple, pink or red. Again, that cuts out a lot of foods. When you put those two allergies together and you are trying to buy snacks for the class and it has to be non-perishable, you are left with pretzels. Actually, there are a few other foods that are okay, but not many and I think Liam is getting tired of eating them already and it’s only October.
