Well then you have to skip the nuts. And the seashells. And the milk. And everything containing gluten. And probably eggs. And whatever else people can have allergies to. Gonna be an interesting diet.
- NoraCodes 4y agoBut we actually _do_ accommodate those allergies. I know someone with severe peanut, tree nut, and milk allergies. I spend lots of time with her, and yet I can still drink milkshakes and eat Reese's Cups. The idea that accommodating someone means utterly restricting everyone else's freedom is, frankly, ridiculous.
- iforgotpassword 4y agoBut yes that's the point, we do this on a case-by-case basis, after communicating, not generally because someone could show up and be allergic to nuts. Making a lemonade kosher is a no-brainer, so there's no problem with doing it. But if I had to go out of my way to find food with peanuts because we want to be safe by default, I'd have a problem with that.
- NoraCodes 4y agoYeah, completely agreed. But the reason you don't have to go out of your way is because the majority does care about that. This article isn't describing a hypothetical future of minority rule; this is how the world works right now, for the most part.
- iforgotpassword 4y agoI was reading the comment I replied to like that, but on a second read it doesn't suggest that so much.
