Food Allergies

During my flight, we were served -- guess what?-- mixed nuts for snacks. And though my son wasn't accompanying me during the flight, alarm bells started ringing. It was as if over the last few years, I have been programmed to avoid nuts at all costs. I can't remember the last time I ate, or even touched peanuts and peanut-containing food products. As I opened my packet of nuts, I was confronted with two reactions.
On one hand, I was critical of the airlines' choice to serve nuts. Out of the thousand and one possibilities, they had to serve a food product that is responsible for the most serious cases of food allergies?
But on the other hand, belatedly realizing that well, I don't have nut allergies myself, I have to admit to the guilty pleasure of munching on 'em nuts. It isn't often, rare even, to find myself in a situation where I don't have to read the labels, or mind where the person seating next to me disposes his wrappers. It's not like I have been craving for nuts, nor was I feeling deprived, but I have to say it felt good simply not to have to worry about food allergies for a moment.
