Issue #6
Peanut Butter Jam
Talk about a sticky situation! Some schools are limiting or banning peanuts to protect students with food allergies. Others say the peanut crackdown is not fair to kids who are not allergic. Your class will learn about both sides of the issue. Students will also read about other types of allergens that can make people sick.
