McDonald's Canada has decided it is a good idea to lower their standards of care when it comes to peanut and tree nut allergies simply to add a few more menu items. This Change petition is not only to bring to the surface how people feel about these changes that they have made but also to make sure people are aware of these changes as in the most extreme of cases lives could be at stake. If this is a problem that affects you or someone close to you please sign this petition and maybe together we can do something about it or at the very least make a change to something everyone can agree on. If you want more information on this, follow the links to the stories from Canadian news outlets;

As a Disclaimer I would like to mention that this is not to take lightly any other food allergies as all anaphylaxis is important and should be something more people take as an important issue. There are millions of people with allergies that run the risk of a severe allergic reaction simply in their everyday lives. I am simply asking for one less reason for people with peanut and tree nut allergies to be afraid to go out. People with allergies, or any health issue are still people. 

Thank you, and Please McDonald's Canada take the time to listen to people who do want to buy food at your restaurants but because of these changes you have made they can't.

Let's make a change so we are all lovin' it.

Regards,

Michael Whittaker
