As the parent of a severely allergic 8 year old, I find it so difficult to believe that we cannot provide a safe haven for those with food allergies to travel. While most airlines have taken to not providing snacks on flights with the exception of first class or business class, when they do offer snacks for payment, they are often chock full of those things that would put my daughter in danger.
The fact that the airlines are not accomodating, despite the fact that theses individuals are covered by the ADA Act is dumbfounding. Even if it weren't the law, it would just be the humane thing to do.
Just remember, no one will die if they do not get to eat their peanuts, my daughter could die if they do.
Thank you.
