Walk talk and sample Skeeter Nut Free

With the 10th anniversary Houston FARE walk quickly approaching, our next meeting will focus on the walk.  This is a good time to sign up for the FARE Houston walk on Halloween and take the FARE Teal Pumpkin Project pledge (www.tealpumpkinproject.org).

As a Skeeter Nut Free ambassador, I will be doing a mini presentation and sharing samples!  If you or someone you know would like to know more about Skeeter Nut Free products please email HFAN at www.houstonfoodallergynetwork@gmail.com.  Meanwhile, Skeeter Nut Free products can be purchased at Central Market and on Amazon.  

Happy Fall!

The not so friendly skies.

My family recently traveled on American Airlines. Imagine my surprise while reading the airline's in flight magazine regarding their policy, or lack there of, concerning individuals with nut allergies.  The allergy statement was near the end of the magazine, in a tiny box, on a page titled, 'Tips For A Fit Flight'.  Was this a joke?  For an airline, whose own website says "Creating a great airline for you", to make such a bold statement and not even attempt to accommodate a rising population is short sighted.

FARE's recent announcement concerning legislation for safer air travel for those with food allergies could not have been more timely.  Read below.
