Amuse bouche:The end of pb & j sandwiches in school?

Amuse bouche: 3 out of every 100 Americans has a food allergy

A recent study funded by the National Institute of Health and performed at Johns Hopkins University revealed that food allergies are a few of the most chronic diseases in America. Peanut allergies are the most common, followed by shrimp, eggs and milk. This study only counted people with severe allergies to four or more foods. It did not include people that are intolerant of foods, like celiacs, so the number of people actually suffering from food allergies is likely higher than the study revealed.
