Interesting -- I rarely hear about people being allergic to meats. My

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

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).

Bit salty, though, isn't it? I used to love peanut butter sandwiches
sprinkled with salted peanuts..... not something I eat very often. 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.
