I hate how my allergies make me seem like a republican.

@futurebird Sympathy from here but I shall wager folks don't confuse you for a republican.
IDK I've had people try to bond with me on the evils of seed oils and I'm like "please stop. it is not that deep."

Can't eat sunflowers so people think I hate "seed oils" (the other ones are fine, it's just the sunflowers they are deadly)
Can't eat most vegan meats because these people always want to put sunflowers 'n nuts and chickpeas in them.
Generally suspicious of vegan food because of the whole nut issue, even though I really like it when there are no nuts.
@futurebird@sauropods.win i dont get whats the obsession w nuts w so many random vegan products, its like the whey of vegans (like yk how most non-vegan foods have like 0.05% whey just so they are not vegan
my favorite pesto has 0.05% pecan nuts so i cant eat it w my partner) -

@futurebird OK, good point
but that's people making ass-umptions. -

I hadn't heard about the Republican obsession with seed oils before, but I can't ever figure out the logic of what's good or not to them anymore. The splinter groups keep forming, with their own kinks.
@futurebird -
I really want to know if I was born this way or if it is caused by what foods I ate when I was young?
My husband can't tolerate apple peels. Just the peels, the inside is fine. I wonder what the strangest food allergy must be?
-
What makes this worse is restaurants who can't tell you their ingredients lists. I just give up and get the most basic foods.
Then there are the things that no one believes: like the "shelled peanut problem"
I can eat peanuts, love them! but not if they have been shelled in a "facility" because whatever they do it gets some kind of other nut dust on them and down i go! Toss me the epipen it's gonna be a long night.
Allergies are so odd. Obscure but serious ones are annoying.
@futurebird I avoid shrimps and prawns: not allergic to them as such but I am allergic to whatever gets fed to them in Thai shrimp farms.

it really bothers me when you say "i can't do this, it will kill me. dead.", and people somehow hear "i hate this thing".

@futurebird no worries - that just makes you seem like someone who has figured out their sensitivities! I just canβt do almond products anymore. But itβs always refreshing to go to #disneyland where they really take that kind of thing seriously.

@futurebird there are restaurants that won't tell you the ingredients?! that seems like it should be a legal requirement
the best was when I went to Germany and if you ask for the "allergy menu" the most hole-in-the-wall place in the middle of nowhere will have a big spreadsheet with all the menu items and the government mandated list of allergens

Oh good grief, the shelled peanut thing sounds so annoying! Like, in and of itself, but also you have to try to explain and convince people over and over. -

@futurebird @aredridel birch pollen, maybe? Are cooked apples safe?
-
@aredridel @futurebird I thought the peanut allergy thing was largely caused by a misguided pediatrician who said let's keep infants away from peanuts so they don't develop allergies, and it became a recommendation but it turned out to be totally wrong and the opposite is true
