Frost stated that many people in her community, including children, have been taking a lot of precautions to live a healthy life. She further stated:

“Today, everyone will know someone or someone who knew of one with anaphylaxis. If you ignore the severity of the medical condition, it’s as bad as shoving a loaded gun in my face. I’m unapologetic for my medical condition. I did not ask for it, and it does not define who I am, and the impact that I make in the world daily. But it does impact how I live my life daily.”

Jo Frost stated that it is common in any restaurant where a customer won’t be allowed to go inside the kitchen and talk to the chef. She said that the labels saying “it may contain” prove that restaurant avoids accountability and prefer to keep their business in a working condition instead of someone’s safety.

Jo Frost mentioned that apart from those who are dealing with anaphylaxis, she is also speaking for those who are battling celiac disease, saying that none of them are “faddy eaters.” Frost opened up on the changes she wants to witness and said:

“I don’t need your mumbling insults, your passive, aggressive comments, or your ignorance. Just your need to be willing to learn, educate your staff, change your policies, menus, workspaces, school training, event spaces for all to champion children, who are all ours really in this world. And show empathy and understanding to each other.”
