Everything is dangerous to someone.
The band I’m in is a family and me. They are “live off the land” types and butcher all their own animals. They drink only raw cow and goats milk.
And I’ve never seen such a batch of food allergies. They literally cannot eat at restaurants because “normal” food is poison to them in one way or another. And when we invited them over we had to make both corn and wheat based gravy because one was alergic to one and one was alergic to the other.
People are just different.
‘Course, I say this as a person that will eat anything put in front of me (even tripe soup) and am alergic to NOTHING so I might be a little callous in my thinking.
That is really interesting. I know restaurant food has a lot of preservatives, additives, things they use in preparation, junk, and things that go bump in the night (namely your stomach). It surely is poison to that family, as well as the rest of us that consume it. With what information you’ve imparted to me, it’s really given me a kick in the butt to make me take a serious look at what I’m eating. Because of my serious disabilities I don’t cook much, but boy-howdy I am going to start eating steamed vegetables and cook my own chicken from now on.
Yechhh! Tripe (cow tongue) soup? My spouse and I were friends with a couple who liked to cook tripe in their Crock-Pot. I was like eeeewwwwww~
I need to lose about 20 pounds, and I know if I eat veggies and lean meat I will. I’m a serious carnivore. Did you hear about the story that the gov’mint is going to try to outlaw the consumption of red meat? You know it’s going to go to meat altogether, then eventually to grazing and then some kind of ‘nutritional’ slop-portion however many times a day they allow. Sweet mercy, this nation is flying apart with a madman at the controls.
Food allergies are a real pain in the a.. I have always been allergic to a few things , corn, chocolate, wild rice. Easy to avoid those things. Now corn is in almost everything and I have developed a sensitivity to MSG. Only it is rarely called MSG anymore, it is called by a dozen other names. I feel for your relatives.
I will eat anything that doesn’t eat me first!............
