But 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.

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.
