...and allowing strangers to say what's safe for your kids.

The problem is too many people think they understand what foods contain allergy ingredients, and haven't a freaking clue

Word. if I had a dollar for every time I've had to walk through what I can/can't eat and that if I'm eating at your house you need to read the label on EVERYTHING before you serve it to me.

EVERYTHING

But my personal favorite went like this:

"But I rinsed the pasta! What do you mean you can't eat it?"

BOGGLED.

Well, hey, it was probably white pasta, which, ya know, is gluten free. It's not like it was whole wheat.

"I'm not asking you to change policy. I'm telling you how to apply policy. If you keep using these foods, stop telling we have gluten-free things."

As for brown vs white.. I mean.. ..wait. "wheat bread"? Is that how it is called in the US? Because up here in Canada, it's called "WHOLE wheat bread". And the name is the CLUE.
