Thanks for bringing this back on topic, Alex!  I agree with everything you
said.  Also, I appreciate your information on your children's food
allergies.  My son tested a sensitivity to milk, but no food allergy any
more.  However, knowing that it is important to keep him off of the food for
a few more years is good, as well.  He also seems to develop allergies or
rather sensitivities to anything that he eats over a long period of time so
I am having to rotate his diet.  Fun.
