Abstract:
"Danya Glabau follows parents and activists as they fight for allergen-free environments, accurate labeling, the fair application of disability law, and access to life-saving medications for food-allergic children in the United States.

Food Allergy Advocacy raises important questions about who controls illness activism"--
