But what is this shit in our food - this for-cheapness-sake adulteration of things?

Don't ever look and see what cheap "butter cookies" are made of--you will be appalled....

I am SO with you on this. I can barely go out with friends to dine, because one gal gets very stressed over my allergies and inability to eat out. But when it's ask questions or increase 4 dress sizes overnight (wheat) have intestinal problems (corn) or yeast problems (milk) and then there's blood sugar response--or shellfish (OMG)--

I can hate my body or give it what it wants. I am becoming a gourmet chef out of desperation. But I really feel for people who are just trying to find a product "they" haven't monkeyed with. I complained about someone suddenly putting corn syrup in their sweetener-free product (a regular product for me up until that time) and somehow it ended up my problem, and how dare I complain?

Then "they" put corn gluten in my cats' food, and tell me it's an excellent source of protein. Right. Totally. But NOT FOR OBLIGATE CARNIVORES. Switch cats' food Again.

I hate brazil nuts. I promise to never knowingly serve you any.
