a scathing critique of modern society:
today kham targets: peanuts

or more specifically, peanut allergies.or even more specifically, the special rights certain parents of children with peanut allergies think their children have. yes i think people who care for children should be trained in dealing with allergies, heck, i think the population in general should have first aid training which would presumable cover dealing with allergies. but to declare all schools peanut-free zones? preposterous. it puts the rights of certain children with allergies above other. more people are lactose intolerant than allergic to peanuts*, but i ain't seeing any banning of milk in schools movements. point is: the yuppie 'yummy-mummies"** need to settle down just a little, and actually think about what they're advocating.



* lactose tolerance is found primarily in those of European descent.
** this term is just gross, it sound pornographic and weird, but maybe i'm just not fringe enough
