Yeah, that and "organic." As if any of the food you eat isn't.
Oh, and peanut allergies. Suddenly everyone is allergic to peanuts. And lactose.
What a crock.
/johnny probably hit the nail on its head. Food fetish is a 1st world thing.
Over eating “anything” can’t be good. When in Asia I observed that no one loaded up their plate and instead took small servings from the serving dishes brought to the table until they didn’t feel hungry. Many of us and especially now kids have their plates loaded up and are expected to finish it off because “of all the starving children in China”.
Food allergies are no fun, for those of us who actually have them. (And I love peanuts! unlike a friend who developed a near-fatal allergy to them at 35 - and never knew it.)
You call it a fad - I call it reality.
What a crock. What a load of illogical thinking. You seem to be saying "all this stuff didn't use to happen, so it can't be happening now."
There's a lot of crap going on with our food that also didn't used to happen and is happening now, like injecting cattle and chicken with hormones, adding bacterial genetic material to corn DNA, adding aspartame to milk, dangerous chemicals leaching into food from plastic packaging, and other additives used for chemically preserving processed foods.
Go ahead and pretend it ain't so because some people you don't like said it, but it still doesn't make the problem go away.
Just going to highlight that for the world to see. I didn't know there were people who don't believe that lactose intolerance exists. Statements like that don't require rebuttal.
Oh and some people have lost children to peanut allergies. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
You might as well have posted "Suddenly everyone thinks the world is round."
