Feed your kids dirt

Feed your kids dirt

When your kids' world is too clean, here's what they're susceptible to (not a full list):
- Crohn's disease
- ulcerative colitis
- asthma
- allergies

Crohn's disease - look it up, it's a horrible disease to have. Ulcerative colitis is a bit better, but still, NOT fun! It's a disease that ppl get in the 20-30s, not when they're really really old (2nd peak in 70-80s tho).

Asthma - before, the one super nerdy kid with the thick glasses and beenie was the only one with a puffer. now, it seems like half the schools have puffers!!! i'm not gonna go into detail on this one. but being able to breathe, without having to worry about breathing is nice, no??

Allergies - it's ridiculous that schools are now peanut-free. when we went to school, which was seriously not that long ago, there may have been ONE kid/school with a not so severe allergy to peanuts, one kid/school allergic to bees, maybe 1 kid/class that was allergic to dust/pollen, and that would pretty much be it. Now kids are banned from peanut butter, and everyone's allergic to something! and some of them have a high chance of going into anaphylactic shock from it! AND, the allergies get worse with every exposure! Next thing u know, half the schools will be going into anaphylactic shock! they're gonna be allergic to peanuts/wheat/pollen/grass/dust/oranges/pineapples/mangos/kiwis/etc etc etc.... are kids gonna be only allowed to bring rice + water to school? are schools gonna have to install Hepa-filters in every classroom? Are kids gonna be not allowed to go outside for recess cuz of their pollen allergies?! this is getting ridiculous!!

Conclusions: feed your kids dirt. unless of course, you'd like an asthmatic kid/teenager/adult who is allergic to the world, and also has bloody diarrhea, pain, obstructive bowels, etc, and who will likely get colon cancer.
