It happens. It’s why we all clean our kitchen everyday. Peanut allergies rose a lot in the past few decades. It’s not like they just get hives. It’s not a hard thing to give up at work or school considering it could kill them. Like in my office we don’t even have assigned desks. I see people leaving crumbs all the time. Imagine them munching away on a bag of peanuts. They’re leaving that dust and crap all over the place. It’s such a small consideration that makes a huge QOL improvement for others. It doesn’t bother me at all.
In all honesty could you imagine having like a young daughter with anaphylaxis and how much safer she is knowing there’s no nuts in her camps or school? And the cost is literally something so very simple. I get the wanting some freedoms and not wanting to be told what to do. But we’re social creatures. Empathy is like our strength. I really reject the modern view of ultimate freedom at all costs even if the result is a greater negative in the world.

If you’re worried about an adult making a peanut butter mess, that motherfucker should not have a job.

If it’s a shared space, leave it how you found it.
Restricting what people eat is getting rid of a symptom, not the problem.

What’s the symptom?
