and "some individuals with food allergies have a disability," particularly those
who have "significant or severe responses to certain foods. . . . which may

Lisa Eberhart, who has worked for 20 years as a registered dietician in dining

nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy), there are more than 125 foods known to cause
allergic reactions. Spigler notes that the idea of a mild allergy is a myth. "There
