Dear Listmates:

Thanks everyone who has let me know that I'm on the right track.

I had an idea this morning that I want to pass along. I have found the
method Baskin Robbins uses to list possible allergens quite helpful and it
can be used world-wide.

They use a series of picture symbols to designate wheat, corn, dairy etc.
etc. Picture symbols are also often used on traffic signs to by-pass
possible language problems. We all recognize the picture symbols for STOP,
CURVE AHEAD, DON'T PASS. We also recognize symbols for washrooms &
wheelchair accessibility.

So, why can't we lobby together through our national associations -
celiacs, diabetics, lactose intolerant, etc etc for uniform picture allergy
labelling?

Again, let me know what you think about this idea and/or if you have any
other ideas & I'll post summaries of the suggestions.
