A new Peter Rabbit film starring James Cordon is at the centre of a “food bullying” row over a scene in which a gang of rabbits pelt blackberries at a man they know is allergic to them.

Several groups representing allergy sufferers have called for a boycott of the film, warning that it is “grossly offensive” and makes light of a potentially fatal condition.



I get that these parents fears because little Timmy has allergies but I really wish they wouldn’t take this shite to the extreme. Things like no peanut butter sandwiches at schools and stuff. And gluten people are the worst. What is causing this epidemic of allergies anyways??

Honestly, I was surprised that scene made it past the writing room. My family and I were horrified.

I feel so bad for kids with bad food allergies. If only their mothers would have breastfed, they wouldn't be so weak

I ate some blackberry cobbler a few months ago. This hits close to home.

It's James Cordon and an animatronic rabbit. Let's recalibrate our definition of great.

Flu shots. If you think the government is simply protecting you from the flu, you need to wake up.

We went watched the film yesterday. As someone that’s allergic to rattlesnakes, I’m offended.

I have no desire to see this movie because it seems to me like it's trying to sell the kids communism. When I watched the preview when I watched Jumanji, I just couldn't help but root for the so-called villain. If in a 2 minute preview I'm rooting for the villain, then you're doing something wrong.

Wow.

Just, wow.

"Get over it"?

"GET OVER IT"?!?!?!

Do you even KNOW what it's like to have an allergy? LITERALLY living EVERY SINGLE SECOND of your LIFE wondering if someone is going to allergy bully you, giving you a brush with DEATH?!?!?!

It's LITERALLY like playing Russian roulette.
