Airlines could provide meals that are nut free without any loss to most meals.
I was on a plane when it was announced that someone had a serious nut allergy so no one could eat anything with nuts. The woman in front then ate a snickers without a medical emergency so it was just the airline covering their back.

When I was a grad school, I had a part-time internship at a consulting firm. I went in a couple of days a week to find various numbers in annual reports and 10-Ks and plug them into spreadsheets, do PowerPoints, stuff like that.
One day I bought some peanut M&Ms and brought them back to the office, and I asked others there if they wanted any. One guy said he couldn't because he had a very serious peanut allergy. I apologized and asked him if I should put them away, and he just said, nah, it's fine.

Why don't I get specimens like these on my flights. My flights are all pretty much boring. TBH since her comment was so asinine and selfish I really would have asked her if I could have her nuts.

"These people who claim they're going to die if they so much as look at a peanut on an airplane - I have a really hard time believing that, I'm sorry."
Try a little education on the subject, you might learn something. My mother will die if you breath your peanut breath in her face and she can't get her epi pen out in time. It's a rare condition, and she'd never ask people to not eat. She will just keep her pen ready so you can eat your precious nuts that you fly first class for lol....

Thank you, and thanks to the OP for mentioning this. I looked at the list for the first time. It seems only a few special meals are "Available on most domestic flights when a full meal is served in First." I'll give the Hindu meal a try next time I'm on an eligible flight.

There are no peanuts in the AA nut mix, and I doubt there was anything in on any of the meal trays that would have triggered a peanut allergy. Aren't most nut allergies specific to peanuts?
What was for dinner? And I'm also curious. Was there a postprandial medical diversion?

If I was that allergic, I would not fly commercially. All airlines have a disclaimer on their web site about serving nuts/peanut products and/or not being able to keep other passengers from bringing them on board.

By the way, the medical evidence contradicts your claim.
