Student's Peanut Allergy Leads To Ban Of Lunchtime Favorite
Advertisements [?]
ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- Some young St. Johns County students are no longer allowed to bring a popular lunchtime food to school. Peanut butter has been banned.

A kindergarten student at Ocean Palms Elementary in Ponte Vedra has a peanut allergy that has forced the student's classroom to become a peanut-free zone.

Not all parents are happy with the changes in other students' diets and the inconvenience caused by the peanut ban.

"That's just a typical thing that a kid brings to school and it's something my son likes. It's quick and easy for me in the morning. To not be able to bring that and have to do something else is a burden on ME in the morning," Torres said.
