Far from praising her for her cooked lunch, many parents judged her for including eggs in her daughter’s diet since the food has been banned in many schools in Australia because it was a danger to children with allergies.
An Australian mother has been forced to defend her daughter’s lunch after many other parents had serious doubts about her diet, not because she was feeding her daughter poorly, but because it contained a product that many considered “a danger”.
We’re talking about boiled eggs. Although it may sound illogical, the truth is that many children, from the time they are small, develop various allergies, and eggs are among the most common, as well as one of the most dangerous.

That’s why, when an Australian mother posted the creative lunch she made for her four-year-old on a Facebook group, she was not just met with positive comments; she was also attacked by many parents for breaking the rules.
It turns out that many schools in Australia have restricted the consumption of products such as nuts and eggs for all children. This is due to the fact that there are children who can break out in hives for just touching a person who has consumed these products.

Comments against the boiled egg lunchbox were quick to arrive: «I think it’s really irresponsible that schools don’t have restrictions,» said one mother on the Lunchbox Ideas Australia Facebook page. Another immediately added: «One of my daughter’s kindergarten friends was so allergic that, even if someone touched a nut or an egg and touched her, she would break out in hives.”
While there were negative comments, others were more restrained and claimed that it was the school’s problem for allowing egg consumption. «My kids go to a nut-free school, but they allow eggs. It’s so strange because, like you said, egg allergies are more common,» added one parent.
