I honestly have no idea. I've known several people with asthma, and one or two with serious food allergies... but... I don't know why they're more common. I don't think we can really blame pollution- because if that was the case, then the elderly would have far more allergies wouldn't they? I mean, I do believe pollution was much worse several decades ago... (I mean the EPA wasn't formed until 1970...)
And at the same time- I still don't get why kids can't bring in something like cupcakes- which is true in many places- they ask students not to do so... and well- yeah, maybe it's not entirely fair for the kids who have allergies, but, well- the people I've known with allergies never cared when someone brought in snacks they couldn't have... Half the time they had their own snacks...
I dunno. It's nice to be fair, but I think it's ridiculous to not allow students to bring in snacks... Kind of like it was ridiculous to not let students share food at lunch (for the same reason). I mean- come on- really? I dunno, but that's always been my take on it...
