Subsidiary point number 82, we're increasing unwilling to take a critical and skeptical view of anything
Except things that really matter, like climate change and vaccines.
I think climate 'skeptic' is a misnomer, they're not looking at being critical. They don't like the idea, so they don't accept it. That's why arguments based on evidence fail. Same for anti-vaccine, creationists, etc. That's not skepticism, it's denialism.
I think if we removed every possible example of copycatism from movies, there wouldn't be much left. I appreciate that many modern parents simply don't have time to educate their kids between updating Facebook and watching Celebrity Sex Cave.
But anyway, it wasn't really a point about allergies, it was really about people loudly demanding the world be shaped to their requirements.
For the record, death due to any food-related anaphylaxis is extremely rare (numbers vary through inconsistent reporting). In the US between 0.03 to 0.3 deaths per million person years (somewhere between being randomly murdered in Europe* and struck by lightning). Three to five orders of magnitude less likely than dying in a car accident. A lot of the more creative 'peanuts will kill your kids' stats come from the advocacy organization funded in a large part by the manufacturers of epipens. They sell directly to school districts in the US. Make of that what you will.
Which of course is not the same as saying it doesn't exist or that it's a serious issue for anyone afflicted by a severe allergy. That again is the difference between healthy skepticism and unhealthy denialism.
*significantly less so than being murdered in the US, of course.
