I hoping neuresthenia makes a comeback among the overly endowed. Then they'll just lie around listlessly, too drained of energy to demonize the noble peanut.

Reminds me why, although I admire the New Yorker, I often hate reading it. Good writing about nauseating people.

Nauseating, yes, but it doesn't diminish the importance of allergy awareness. Not everyone who suffers from potentially fatal peanut/nut/shellfish/bee/etc. allergies belongs to the upper class. To them, the peanut ain't so noble.

Does anyone know how I can get into the business of making "very, very, very high-end window treatments?"

Might be something you have to marry into (like food allergies).

However did humanity make this far without special protection for the allergic? What happened to people with special needs attending to them, and not asking everyone to give up what they can't have?

Wait. This isn't a joke then?
