I refuse to make fun of dietary restrictions after spending five years as a waiter rolling my eyes at gluten free people and then developing a gluten intolerance.
The universe is a tricky bitch. It gave me a literal pain in the ass.
You can be annoyed by gluten bad gluten free while recognizing the real pain of celiacs.
Just because it isn’t a visible disease does not mean everyone is in the right.
I dislike the disregard for vegans in the post, still.
I once had a buddy with Celiac’s, it was interesting trying to find a restaurant that worked for us both. The tide of hipsters wanting everything gluten free was a godsend!
Nah I guarantee NOBODY is going through the gluten free diet unless they really believe there might be a chance they’re allergic. And you have to go gluten free for a bit to see if you are.
No you don’t, not for celiac. It’s symptoms are debilitating.
I know a case like that. He was unfortunate enough to have doctors that were unable to diagnose him properly. When he started the diet in his thirties and his absolutely debilitating health condition got a lot better in so many ways, it was such a relief!
But also, there are people who are not celiacs but do have an intolerance, and the diet is worth trying if someone thinks it may be their case.
Yeah, but that’s not the gluten allergy.
The guy I was talking about in the first paragraph was a celiac.
I was talking about the second.
Eh, you haven’t worked in food service.
What always sent me was the people who ordered gravy after telling me they were gluten sensitive…
If only it was that easy. More fruit trees in cities for instance.
“I’m sorry?! Do you want homeless vagabonds rummaging around MY neighborhood, snacking on the fruits of MY trees?! I THINK THE FUCK NOT! ONLY MALE TREES! ALLERGIES YES, VAGABONDS NO!!!”
-NIMBYs, with funding by big agro
Has anyone stopped to consider how the grass might feel about this? I didn’t think so.
That’s why I only eat prokaryotes.
Have you ever stopped to think about how prokaryotes feel about that arrangement? That’s why I only eat silicates
Ain’t no good prokaryote 'cept one that’s enslaved or dead. Those freaky little bastards don’t even have organelles or a nucleus. MRSA, Botulism, Anthrax…we’ve been at war for billions of years. Long will I have been in the cold, cold ground before I recognize prokaryote rights.
Single cell cyanonacteria ftw though! They bow to no one, they’re self sufficient, they don’t enslave or eat others.
At first I thought this was telling me to fuck my friend in the mouth…
