Food Allergies

I can completely understand those who have to deal with food allergies! Having Celiac Disease, I can feel the frustrations of those who have to read labels on different food items all the time...just to make sure there is no "hidden" ingredient that you're allergic to. My sister and brother-in-law's very dear friends have a son who is allergic to peanuts. I just read Dori's blog and what a shock that Chick-fil-a uses peanut oil to fry all their chicken and fries! Also, since we are on this subject, I've noticed a while back that Chee Burger Chee Burger also uses peanut oil to fry their french fries! I agree with Dori that Chick-fil-a needs to switch to Canola or Vegetable Oil so that those with peanut allergies can eat their sandwiches and french fries at ease. Maybe if word gets out and enough people petition this request it would be for the better.
If you know of someone with food allergies and can relate to this topic...please post on your blog about this request...I think those with food allergies need to take a stand. Also, I sure think it would be awesome if more restaurants could have menus for gluten/wheat-free, dairy-free, peanut-free foods, etc.
