Welcome! This studio is for any Scratchers to help raise awareness of food allergies! (Please read the full description!)
---------------------------------------
A food allergy is when someone's body recognizes a certain food or protein as a foreign item or toxin. An allergic reaction is just that person’s body trying to protect them. People with allergies have to take great care to avoid these foods—even if the food they eat was handled with silverware that touched an allergen, it could cause a reaction. The causes of food allergies are mainly unknown.
Please feel free to ask to add projects or curate even if you don't have allergies--it's great to get support from people who don't-- and you can also try to spread awareness of the studio if you would like.
----------------------------------------
A Note from @cs2059477:
I have several food allergies of my own (peanuts, tree nuts, lentils, peas, chickpeas, sesame seeds, shellfish, and eggs that are not totally cooked). Sometimes having these allergies can be difficult, and this studio is to help the Scratch Community learn about life with food allergies.
----------------------------------------
If you would like to curate, please just comment and I will invite you. If you would like to add a project but not curate, you can also comment. Feel free to request both, or let me know if you have any suggestions.
If you are already a curator, please try to add any projects you see with the permission of the creator. Please remain active and add any projects you see that are related! Doing so over time will promote you to manager.
----------------------------------------
Weekly Challenges:
-Check out the brand Enjoy Life, a great brand that's really friendly to allergies.
-Come up with a hypothesis of your own on why food allergies happen and comment it.
-Refer this studio to a friend.

Thank you all so much for your time and support!
