New pottery line: Allergy Awareness


A member of our food allergy support group has designed a great line of allergy aware pottery pieces. I think this is a great way to bring out awareness as well as let others see your allergen free lifestyle. They are so cool take a look for yourself.

Here is a link to the pieces, with more to come:

U.S. Department of Transportation proposes peanut ban on airlines

http://www.kansascity.com/2010/06/02/1988891/rules-aim-for-better-air-travel.html

The U.S. Department of Transportation on Wednesday proposed new rules designed to protect air passengers. One would restrict serving peanuts. The restriction could work in one of three ways:

•Ban the serving of all peanut products on domestic flights and international flights to and from the United States

•Ban the serving of all peanut products on flights where a passenger with peanut allergy requests a peanut-free flight in advance

•Require a peanut-free buffer zone in the immediate area of the passenger with a documented severe allergy to peanuts if a peanut-free flight is requested


The public will have 60 days to comment. Go to www.regulations.gov (Docket No. DOT-OST-2010-0140) and let your voice be heard!
