The Golden Apple Rule^TM

The Anti-Bullying Initiative for Children with Food Allergies

Core of The Golden Apple Rule^TM

The Golden Apple Rule™ is the innovative initiative that gives members of your school community the skill set to interact with their fellow students who have a food allergy or dietary intolerance.

Given that one in 13 children have a food allergy or approximately two children in every classroom in the United States have a food allergy, these children suffer on a daily basis for feeling "different" and not included. The Golden Apple Rule™ is the solution to assisting these children and the school community in providing an environment that is "Inclusive, not Exclusive™."

Like that other golden rule, The Golden Apple Rule™ lets parents and members of the school community lead by example.
