BTW, I dob't think I've ever seen artificial camel flavoring. Just what do camels taste like? AFAIK they're not on the dinner table in Australia, but maybe I should try flying SV to broaden my culinary boundaries since they reputedly have served donkey meat in business class. Perhaps camel (steak, roast, stew, I hope not liver) is next.

I generally like nuts (except pistachios) but I prefer almost any nut to peanuts, almonds and Brazil nuts erspecially but also walnuts, cashews, etc.

I've found that even fresh, genuine stroopwaffels have a large amount of some sort of corn syrup in order to maintain the desired consistency. Whether the caramel flavor is achieved by use of artificial flavorings or by use of real caramel, is up to the manufacturer/producer.
Now, back on topic
For those of us concerned with getting the max value out of travel, perhaps this ups the value proposition ever so slightly.

Don't put other peoples life at risk. I don't risk your life, but I would put it at risk if you put my daughters life in jeopardy.

The consumption of peanuts 20 feet away from an allergic person does not put his life at risk. As has been mentioned in countless other peanut arguments, the interior of the aircraft is likely coated with residue from peanuts consumed on previous flights anyway.

There are many questions about why there are more and more allergies. I don't think an answer has been found, but there are some theories. One theory is that as people get more urbanized, they have less exposure to allergens as children and therefore develop more allergies. Studies have shown that people raised on farms are far less likely to develop allergies. Similarly, other studies point to the widespread use of chemical cleaning products: kids no longer have the chance to naturally develop immunity to certain allergens because everything is so sterile.
, but I could not help but notice the kids were healthy as could be. Then I worked with two college professors who lived in a Home Beautiful house in an expensive suburb, whose kid never even went and played on the perfect green lawn without wearing shoes. With such a sterile upbringing, the kid was suffering from all the usual “allergies.”

How exactly did the flight attendant put your daughter's life at risk?

This is it. Playing in dirt provides immunity. I once visited a dairy farm where the employee’s children ran around barefoot. Yes they may have had worms , but I could not help but notice the kids were healthy as could be.
