JENNIFER LOPEZ and JANE FONDA’s new movie MONSTER-IN-LAW has come under fire - from an allergy organization.
Members of America’s FOOD ALLERGY + ANAPHYLAXIS NETWORK (FAAN) have branded the upcoming comedy insensitive to people with food allergies, thanks to a scene in which Fonda’s character crushes up nuts and laces a gravy boat with them after she learns Lopez’s character has a serious nut allergy.
According to MTV NEWS, the organization worries that the movie sets the stage for copycat incidents, which could be life threatening for some.
FAAN founder ANNE MUNOZ-FURLONG says, “I doubt NEW LINE would permit a scene where a diabetic would be given an overdose of insulin. In real life, food allergies are no laughing matter.”

what is crazy to me is that there groups constantly speak about tolerance and what not but would never ever comment or step to the plate when a movie promotes homophobia and/or racism. like seriously, most people arent worried about nuts - they are worried about “nuts” (lunatics!).
