How declaring food allergies is similar to declaring your special sexuality

The recent trend toward "discovering" your food allergies is very similar to "discovering" your abnormal sexuality.

What they have in common is this:

* a demand for special treatment
* a justification of the demand by appeal to "innate" biology without evidence
* an ever widening dizzying array of fashionable choices in allergies and sexualities

Prediction: the number of "food allergies" among gays and lesbians will be significantly higher than among normal people because the psychology is the same.

Slowly the general public is realizing that they have been had by egotists on both counts. The appropriate and beautiful response from a French wine bar in San Francisco:

Kindly note that Verjus cannot cater to dietary restrictions or food allergies.


Yes!

Weird that you can have Peanut Butter in a tiny Bodega, but you can't have Peanut Butter sandwiches is a large school cafeteria.

I gain a better understanding all the time of what the new right is about. It's about lack of empathy among other things.


I know this quote wasn't directed at me, but so you know, I'm not right wing. But what is empathy going to do for people with allergies? I can be empathetic for the soldier that loses a leg in war, but what does that actually do for them? They're going to wake up without a leg the next day. THEY have to figure out how to move forward. Learn to live with your allergies and don't bug other people with it (which is what it sounds like you did with the lactose issue).

I guess ultimately where's the empathy for my kid if he loves peanuts and wants them as a snack? How about string cheese for my 2nd grader last school year because a little girl gets the shits when she EATS it. Empathy has no bounds and that's part of what I think Patrick's point was in posting this. We're becoming overly empathetic about things that are uncontrollable.

I once declared my gender as "there are only 2 genders". I remember it made couple of guys laugh, and one clearly got angry but kept his mouth shut. That third guy was a very avid CNN watcher, totally programmed NPC, doesnt even think for himself, he's a nice obedient slave of the left.

It's about lack of virtue signaling among other things. If you want to feel empathy for the 1% that cant have a peanut near them, that's fine by me but to think that you have the right to decide that the other 99% can't have peanuts because of the 1% is wrong. In this supposedly democratic system of votes, they should have had a vote on whether to ban peanuts...a silent vote...to avoid personal attacks on social media by sjws.

Another funny one is when people require special treatment because they declare "i'm on the spectrum". So in brief, Food allergy or intolerance, Fibromyalgia and "ON THE SPECTRUM"....You have the TRIFECTA!

‘While we're told that "vaccines" work by giving us a small amount of a toxic substance—e.g. a bacteria or virus— in turn allowing us to create immunity against future infections, what the injections actually do is make us vulnerable to said toxins. Furthermore, "vaccines" prime our bodies to react badly to anything that's injected into us, including benign substances like milk or egg proteins. Hence the proliferation of allergies, such as allergies to milk, eggs, wheat, peanuts, etc.

Incredibly, Latypova explains how this has been known since 1913, when Charles Richet—a French physiologist and self-proclaimed eugenicist—won a Nobel Prize for figuring out that injecting animals with toxins primes them for harmful or deadly reactions if they encounter the same toxins in the environment, even in small amounts. He called these reactions "anaphylactic" reactions, but said that these reactions also included allergies.


Ah, vaccines are where the epidemic of peanut allergies comes from:

https://www.naturalnews.com/039192_peanut_oil_vaccines_allergies.html


In his book The Doctor Within, Dr. Tim O'Shea argues that vaccines may be largely responsible for both the advent and increased prevalence of peanut allergy, noting that many vaccines and even antibiotic drugs contain, or were made using, excipients potentially derived from peanut oil. Since it is a relatively inexpensive oil to produce, refined peanut oil apparently became widely adopted as an excipient of choice in the production of vaccines during the 1960s, according to some reports, and peanut-derived excipients are still believed to be in use today for this purpose. ...

It is important to note that in 1973, when peanut allergies were still relatively rare, a comprehensive study was conducted on the effects of peanut excipients in vaccines. Interestingly, not long after it was published, government regulators decided that vaccine manufacturers no longer had to indicate whether or not vaccines contained peanut-derived excipients, which means pediatricians, parents, and others who wanted to avoid peanut excipients for safety reasons could no longer effectively do so.

"What is listed today in the Physicians Desk Reference in each vaccine section is not the full formula," adds Dr. O'Shea. "Suddenly that detailed information was proprietary: the manufacturers must be protected. They only had to describe the formula in general."

Munchausen syndrome. It's usually a mother. I eat stuff that I love that gives me the shits. I keep eating it. I don't say I'm lactose intolerant or some bullshit. I never whined to my parents about any issues I had as a kid. I dealt with them and my parents were fine with it.

So I have a blow out at home or stop at a Kohl's bath room (best for a male shit spot) if on the road. Home Depot isn't too bad either as most guys are on the clock and it's usually empty in the bathroom.

I still don't believe peanut allergies are real. I think it's a correlation of Munchausen syndrome and a kid not liking the peanuts. I would throw up eating peas as a kid. I didn't like them. Still don't unless in a pasta salad. I'm really not sure how you can be allergic, like deadly, to anything naturally grown. I don't know a single person that has gone to the hospital over eating nuts. I know a solid amount of people and kids. Not one.

Peanut allergy "crisis" is a unique American
phenomenon and it was created by the stupid recommendation to avoid peanuts until the age of 3. If it was caused by vaccines it would be worldwide phenomenon, but it's not. And it practically didn't exist in the US until the start of this century and does not exist anywhere else.

Fixed:
Far more people are killed by vaccines every day.

Totally agree. Not anymore moving forward, but my SIL lived in Europe for 4-5 years seasonally. No one was allergic to anything she said over there.

I just don't go to the doc anymore unless I'm broken. Everyone I know that has an annual check up ends up on some meds. Those likely make them more sick. I trust ER and that's it. I did anti-anxiety meds for 3 weeks. Fuck that shit. I was sleeping 10-12 hours a day. No energy. The solution to fix that was probably adderal (sp?). One medication to then have other to fix the side effects. All destroying your body more than a 12 pack of beer a day (not my habit, maybe the weekend or vacation).
