But kids don't know their own allergies and limits, because they're kids. That's the point.

Counterpoint: Halloween.

Most kids are competent enough to manage their survival in such circumstances. Some are not. And sometimes it’s not the parents’ fault. But if a community is raising a generation too imbecilic to choose if they can eat chocolate, their life path is sort of already written.

		Halloween happens once a year, that’s a big reason it’s tolerated. Also, many parents do provide guidance/control over how much and how fast the candy is eaten. Because otherwise everyone suffers. The better comparison is what if there was a bottomless bucket of candy in your 10 year olds room all the time.
