Allow nut allergy sufferers into the armed forces

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

If the government caters food for religions and vegetarians which is a lifestyle choice why can’t they do it for nut allergy sufferers which isn’t a choice, providing they sign a disclaimer that if they eat a nut it is not the government’s responsibility?
If the government catered for nut allergy sufferers they would have more active duty personnel keeping the country safe, and when we are told as a society that you can achieve anything you put your mind to it’s simply not correct as proven by cases like this.
