Strawberries? AC serves strawberries on domestic flights?
I believe the fruit plate served for breakfast in J contains half a strawberry.
While Iīd fully support a ban of pets in the cabin for various reasons, the discussion of various food allergies is becoming quite ridiculous (and yes, I do suffer from food allergies myself, but fortunately nothing a little precaution and medication if absolutely necessary couldnīt solve)
What annoyed me in that 'news piece' was the woman trying to be the winner at 'my disability is worse than your disability'. That is a game I often see played online but seeing it in person is even worse.
Is she by chance related to the Canadian woman who wants to cut down oak trees to protect children from tree nut allergies?
It would be impossible to prevent every allergen from coming aboard, but since most are not fatal and most can be avoided, they shouldn't be banned. I'm not certain what exactly she planned to do with that half strawberry from J.
And if she was prevented from boarding her return flight, am I the only one who thinks that she may have caused such as fuss about her allergy that AC in turn wanted to ensure her safety by requiring the medical certificate? (And on a final note, AC once told me that I required one and there was no hospital invovled)

As someone with a fatal allergy to nuts (not peanuts as they are legumes not nuts) I cant stand the nut dishes in J and have asked to have them removed a number of times. I would like nothing more then to seem them banned.
I dont kick up a fuss but at the same time there is no medication that can solve my allergy. I am dead before we land. Multiple epipen or not.
People with food intolerences (oh it gives you a tummy ache? Poor muffin) give people with anaphylaxis a bad name.

Not to be personal, and no offense meant, but allergy sufferers can't just expect the whole world around them to come to a standstill. I would NEVER expect extreme accommodation for myself or my family in such a case. This is just over the top entitlement for society to accommodate any weird new thing that happens to be around.
Travel is NOT a right, it's a commercial service. I have many food preferences and convictions but I don't freak out about it.
This type of thing is what makes public schools not allow kids to pat eachother on the back because its considered physical violence. I know off topic, but it's what society is coming to by accomodating every wing nut request out there.

Can you clarify if you ask that ALL nut dishes be removed, or just your nut dish? Do you contact the airline in advance and advise them of your allergy? Do you ask the GA to make announcements in the gate area to alert others so that they have time to plan ahead? Does it put you in danger of dying if someone rows away eats tree nuts? I'm genuinely curious.
I've had several experiences now on AC flights where no such announcement was made before boarding, but AFTER takeoff we were told that all products containing nuts OR made in a facility which processes nuts were banned on the entire flight. This on flights of 5+ hours, with some passengers who were most likely asleep and didn't hear the announcement, or passengers who don't speak English/French well enough to understand, etc
I don't know how you prepare for a flight but the people like the two women and many others really do make people react with a giant eye-roll by placing unreasonable demands on hundreds of people but yet failing to plan in advance. I'm not saying that you do this, but I am genuinely curious as to how you manage this.
I order an Asian veg meal every time I fly, and that usually contains nuts. I rely on nuts as my protein source when flying, and if I have no advance warning, and if I cannot eat my meal because of someone else, then I think that it does fall into unreasonable expectations. (I wouldn't eat the nuts/contains nuts/may contain nuts if asked, but I would definitely speak up, and I have complained to AC many times about this)
Everybody is "special" these days and the rest of us better get used to it! It isn't that people or organizations aren't willing to make some accommodations for cases such as this, but the whole entitlement stance and associated DYKWIA whining is just too much and becoming beyond reasonable IMO.
