I didn t know anybody in my elementary school with [allergy] problems, Brandum says, and now there are schools assessing how many classrooms are affected, and it's not insignificant. Among the possible reasons for the rise in food allergies, she says: Growing use of hygiene products that reduce children's exposure to immune-boosting microbes, and rising temperatures that are spurring the growth of environmental allergens, such as ragweed, that produce cross-reactions with food. Cross-contamination in food manufacturing facilities, and allergens transmitted through breast milk may also play a role, Brandum says. In addition to potentially severe reactions, food allergies are a concern because of their link to asthma and the skin condition eczema. Children with food allergies are two to four times more likely to have those conditions than other kids, the report found.

Universally accessible and available healthcare. The people of United States should have no less coverage than their representatives in government. Renewable energy and 'green' technology initiatives. 'Green-collared' jobs need to be created to replace disappearing manufacturing and industrial jobs and to ensure we are living up to our commitment to the environment. This is especially important in the 15th District where some of the highest asthma rates in the country plague communities.
Meaningful education reform that will serve youth with limited educational opportunities and that will reduce drop-out rates. The No Child Left Behind Act is doing more harm than good and education policy needs to be reimagined so that we really are not leaving our children behind. Tax policy that supports the middle class. A shift has to occur to align our tax policy with our economic development - those that have benefited most from our economic and financial opportunities should contribute the most to the sustaining of our nation. End the war in Iraq and develop diplomatic relations with allies, former allies, and engage in sincere diplomatic efforts with potential opponents
