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!

A few people can't digest lactose, OK

Unless you are from RWANDA, according to Chris Rock.

"Hungry people ain't allergic to shit."

I love it.

Just like anorexia sufferers are concentrated in the Upper Middle Class and beyond... but all but non-existent in the working class or underclass.

Some food allergies are quite real, as the cited lactose and also sprue (wheat gliadin), peanuts, etc. However, demanding, self absorbed narcissists will jump on any bandwagon to declare themselves exceptional and demand that society cater to their every whims.

Of course, now you always have the lawyers following their professional clients into every business that can be legally plundered on any premise. I just heard about a 30K settlement over a 'service dog' that wasn't allowed in a meeting in Santa Cruz. I gather that 'service animals' are now the new crutch for frivolous lawsuits under ADA.

I will bring my emotional support rattlesnake to meeting. And yes, it is real.

Anybody who has a pet that is a key component to his or her emotional health, comfort, and well-being can qualify for an emotional support animal. There are numerous emotional and psychological disorders in which the symptoms are helped by having the presence of an animal companion nearby. If you qualify for an ESA, you are in need of having that animal around you in order to create a better life for yourself.

People with food allergies should be barred from eating at public places without inquiring if food they are allergic to is being prepared or sold to.

If I had a life threatening food allergy, I wouldn't eat at any restaurant...It's not as if I'd be missing out on anything anyways.

I'm allergic to eggplant. It makes my lips get itchy and puffy. But I fucking love eggplant and eat it at least once a week.

After "create a better life for yourself" you forgot to add "and create a worse life for all the people around you." Guide dogs for the blind are a COMPLETELY different situation; these dogs are clean and well behaved; also, I'm more than willing to give some extra flexibility to someone who is blind.

Hmm.... can I qualify for an ESF ? (Emotional Support Firearm) . I feel a lot safer walking around with an M16; anything less would simply not be enough!

I think that airplanes should allow me to have my emotional support elephant on all flights at no charge. Or at least emotional support tiger.

Maybe Jeffrey Epstein should claim Emotional Support Underaged Girls. Might fly in this insane, LibbyFuck world, run it by Dershi-cakes.

Was that a "feature"? I think it got eliminated due to the new non-binary gender rules....Now only the words "they" and "ze" get highlighted.
