Although my son does have peanut and nut allergies, I am not one of the mothers who is filled with disappointment or sorrow over the Krispy Kreme ingredient change, or the Hostess or Kellogg's ingredient changes. I do, however, feel for those parents and am sorry these ingredient changes have hit them so hard. My son was diagnosed with peanut and tree nut allergies more than 10 years ago, and I would be a liar if I did not admit that the first time we
lost a favorite product I was disappointed. I was! I wrote a blog
post about it, entitled Another One Bites the Dust, and vented, in my own way. That was about 8 or 9 years ago. I am a bit embarrassed by that old post and my then disappointment, but there is a learning curve in life with food allergies--as there is with most things!--and I was at a different stage then.
After losing Thomas' products, we lost
another product, and another, and after a while, I realized that is just par for the
course. We adapt, new safe foods come out on the market, and we forget
about what we have lost. We don't get attached to specific foods anymore and we
are able to make all kinds of goodies ourselves at home. After so many
years, you realize it's no biggie to lose a product. That is life with
food allergies, and if that's the worst thing that happens, then we are
quite lucky!
Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year full of wonderful new
safe food discoveries!
