"Crafting Mom" wrote in message ... Chris Braun wrote: Interesting -- I rarely hear about people being allergic to meats. My husband is seriously allergic to lamb; he goes into anaphylactic shock if he eats it -- I've most often heard of shellfish and pork, but have never heard of a lamb allergy -- you gotta be making this up no no no just kidding! ..... I think a true allergy is usually to some form of protein? I don't know enough about allergies. Hi Chris and Crafting Mom - this is the only other lamb allergy I've heard of too. Being a good Croatian, I find it heartbreaking! :-) Just kidding. The weird thing is that lamb is usually used in a "non-allergenic" diet of lamb and rice that people are often encouraged to try as a first step if they want to test themselves for food allergies. Thank God I do not have anything near to an anaphylactic reaction -- in fact once a year at Easter I do have a small slice of lamb and seem to do OK with that. CM, I think you are right about the protein factor -- in fact, my allergies to cats and dogs have to do with the protein in their saliva, rather than anything to do with their fur -- or so I've been told. But I'm also allergic to rabbits and horses and cattle hair, etc. and they don't lick themselves like cats and dogs do -- so there must be some other factor too. Mary |

not depriving your child to give it a sandwich with a filling other than peanut butter (in fact, I can think of healthier fillings!) every lunchtime. While variety in kids' lunches is indeed a good thing, peanut butter can either be healthy or not, depending on what one associates with the phrase "peanut butter" ;-) If one thinks "That brown stuff that is mostly crisco and sugar and salt with a few peanuts in it", then indeed, motor oil would even be a healthier filling grin But if it is just the plain (erm, "real" kind of peanut butter that I grew up with, the stuff that really does indeed contain a single ingredient: peanuts, then it's no worse than having a handful of peanuts. (Unless of course, one is allergic). Crafting Mom |

But PB and cucumber is nice, I find. -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88.5/80kg |

But PB and cucumber is nice, I find. The kind I buy regularly contains no added salt. Just plain peanuts. I can't stand the salty peanut butter. Weird, because I do like salty food. Only ingredient on my jar of peanut butter: Peanuts. |
