Food Allergies Require Vigilance at the Table

Teaching them to avoid foods that typical Americans eat every day - milk, eggs, peanuts is the reality for parents of children who have food allergies. They must balance fear and caution to prevent worst-case scenarios with the need for children to lead normal, happy lives and not be defined or isolated by a medical condition.
