Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone
JamJam writes "Air Canada has been told to create a special 'buffer zone' on flights for people who are allergic to nuts. The Canadian Transportation Agency has ruled that passengers who have nut allergies should be considered disabled and accommodated by the airline. Air Canada has a month to come up with an appropriate section of seats where passengers with nut allergies would be seated. The ruling involved a complaint from Sophia Huyer, who has a severe nut allergy and travels frequently. Ms. Huyer once spent 40 minutes in the washroom during a flight while snacks were being served."
We should feed nuts to people with those allergies! Out of the gene pool weaklings!
I'm glad you've got it all figured out for us. I assume you'll be writing up your evidence of this mechanism and the clinical proof of your solution to the allergy increases in a suitable medical journal soon.
People with severe allergies usually carry Benadryl, or some other allergy medication, for occasions such as this
Should all other passengers really be inconvenienced because one person has an allergy to something?
"Suppose you were an idiot...and suppose you were a member of Congress...but I repeat myself." Mark Twain
Idiocy kills too. Like the idiocy of doctors insisting on allergies being uncurable and something you got for your life. Thereby destroying millions of people’s lives forever. Just because they are too arrogant to admit, that they just don’t know how to heal it, because they straight out ignore certain facts that they don’t like.
Protip: Just think about what you are doing differently from what was done some thousands of years ago. Then do a difference analysis. If you have to, try living with a African tribe for a month. But at least stop eating processed crap, stop using tons of chemicals of products that tell you how nice your hair will be, after the product fixes the destructive results of you using it in the first place, breathe clean air, stop taking meds for no reason (being sad is not a reason. and pain is there to tell you to fix what you’re doing wrong!)... you get the drift.
I don’t say live like that forever. Far from it. I’m saying, give it a try. Just a try. And if it does not change anything, but you changed everything, after six months, then come here, call me the biggest idiot ever and whatnot, and continue your original lifestyle.
Cause I bet everything that you will notice your allergies just vanish.
But hey... It’s more convenient to just avoid half your life, live in fear of coming in contact with something all day long, change half your house, mod me down, and ignore everything,... just so you don’t have to change anything in your lifestyle at all... and yet expect to maybe become healthy. Yeah. Wise.
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
This implies that you waited until your honeymoon to have sex. Yeah, that is quite unfortunate.

and now feel I am entitled
That sums up the problem with society right there. Nobody gives a shit about your feelings of entitlement - didn't your parents ever tell you that? The world is a cold, hard, uncaring place. It has to be. Otherwise no one would be able to do anything because there is ALWAYS someone who is going to bitch about one thing or the other.
You want to be "entitled", buy your own damned plane. Otherwise learn to compromise some of your feelings of superiority in order to get something you obviously want - ie reasonably affordable, fast travel.
