Can you think of examples where the government does not intervene enough when it comes to consumer safety and product information? Examples where too much intervention is the case? Explain your answers. I can only think of one where the government does not intervene enough when it comes down to peanuts and peanut oil. More babies are being born allergic to peanuts and peanut oil. Many workers at most schools took peanuts out of the school system especially at daycares and after school programs. The supervisors got tired of trying to keep up with the paper work for those kids who could not eat peanut butter, so they cut it all together. The government should come in and band any school from serving anything that has to do with peanut butter or peanut oil. If so this would cut cost on health insurance because no mistakes would be made on the school or government. RE: Main Post Raymond Reine 1/28/2014 7:32:41 PM Sharon, Your point about peanut oils in schools is interesting. I wonder why it is the schools responsibility to be careful of every child who has an allergy? Since when does the school become the parent? If a parent knows their child has an allergy to something, pack their own lunch to guarantee the child will not get sick. Why should the school have to cater to each child when it is up to the parents to be responsible? It seems like every time that one person has an allergy or reaction to something, everyone else is made to suffer. Consumer responsibility has gone by the way side and people are blindly trusting that the government and schools will take care of everything and when they dont, suddenly a lawsuit comes as if they knew nothing and are shocked that their child was harmed. Ignorance should not be a substitution for common sense. RE: Main Post Rosalie Johnson 1/29/2014 3:49:56 AM Raymond, I have to disagree with your comments. The schools should be careful about what they serve when it comes to allergies. I dont think that foods should be removed from the cafeteria, but there must be other options for kids with allergies. As for sending lunch to school for these kids, that gets expensive! I know that there is no way that I can afford to send lunch with my daughter everyday. Im thankful that she doesnt have any known allergies but if she did, I would expect the school to provide her with lunch that will not harm her. I have to say that when it comes to our children health, the whole teacher, not parent issue does NOT apply.
