most of the food allergies these days is from the
switch we did from real cane sugar to corn syrup
and hfcs. it's not better in any way other than it's
cheaper for manufacturers to use. that, and a generation
or two of lazy single moms raising their kids on a
diet of macaroni and cheese and ramens.
my maternal grandma was raised in the country and
they grew and raised everything they ate and she used
salt and sugar liberally and straight tobacco when
she was young. unfortunately, she was taken from us
too soon at the age of 95.
she would fall over on the ground and laugh a stroke
at the thought of someone paying money these days to
walk or run around a track or pick up heavy weights.
that was day to day s.o.p in the country, a lot of
it before the sun came up decent
