What food can you not eat? Do you have an allergy? Do you have dietary restrictions (possibly for cultural or religious reasons)? Is there just a food you don't like at all? What foods do you simply not eat?

I eat practically everything and don't like the restriction of not being able to try new things. That being said, raw avocado always messes with me. For some reason the texture causes me to salivate and get nauseous out of nowhere. Small bits in sushi are fine, especially if I have something to wash it down, but I can't handle larger chunks. If I have guacamole, I need it to be balanced out with sour cream. Very odd I know, especially because I never had this issue as a kid.

Aside from that I've never liked the flavor of black olives. I can eat them though and have no problem with any other type of olives. The only time I eat black olives is by accident.

I avoid dairy as much as i can....that stuff is for calves not people

Gluten is a no no, that gluey stuff wrecks the digestive system

No added sugar
Dairy is absolutely disgusting, how it's produced, all the pus and blood in milk and the hormones that are pumped into the poor mother cows etc. You are SO right. We are not calves, milk is for them to grow into big huge cows, we were never meant to consume it. So many people are lactose intolerant (and don't know it - they go through their lives feeling like crap and wonder why) because once we're off our mothers milk we don't have any need for it any more and we stop producing the enzymes.

Combine that with the consumption of gluten (glue) and over the years your body will be royally messed up.

Thankfully we are becoming more aware of things now than in the past.....we were literally *fed* garbage

I'm not allergic to any food...like nothing at all.But I despise non- vegetarian food. Not coz of any cultural/religious reasons. Not even out of compassion for animals/birds/insects/whatever. I just hate it. I tried eating it for atleast twice a month for two years.I was kinda fine with that for a while. But I developed deep dislike for it again..hated it even more than before n I can only see it growing. I just feel so grossed out meh!!!

I don't know if I can ever get myself to like it again. Apart from that, I'm pretty fine with anything. Oh I avoid mushrooms n black olives as well. Just not a fan.

EGGS.

Because they are vile, and they smell like SULFUR.

My mother couldn't eat them while she was pregnant with me, either.

Heh... 😄



Idk where the hell you folks are buying these contaminated dairy products,

but dairy is not bad for you-- my gaaah, it sustains me.



What is the source of your info?






Have you ever heard of the epigenome? It activates and deactivates genes in the genome based on environmental factors and other factors people haven't figured out yet. In the vast majority of humans the ability to process lactose from dairy shuts down after infancy. That's why ice cream makes me have nasty farts that other food does not. 😆

Only people who inherited the gene to NOT have the epigenome shut down their lactose tolerance can digest milk properly all their lives. Those populations are in northern Europe and northern India. I have ancestors from northern Europe, but I didn't get that gene apparently.

Signed,

Sorry, I read too much, I can't help being a know-too-many-things

Thats different.

In your case, dairy is bad for you and anyone in

your immediate vicinity. ?

It makes sense imo that lactose intolerance

would be more prominent in people who are

genetically wired for warmer climates.

Dairy doesn't keep so well.

My ancestry is northern European on my

father's side for certain-- great grandparents

came to the US after they were married.



And wtf, you can never read too much.

I'm a fount of useless information (well-- I find

it useful) and tend to be leery of those who

have no interest in reading, themselves.

They're dull at best.



Thanks for the links ?

I love eggs, dairy (I drink almond and cashew milk tho) and carbs

More for me anyway ?
Yeah I'm the same. I can understand people's reasons for not eating certain foods, but I'm also one of those rare birds who doesn't feel too many negative affects. That being said I do eat fairly healthy since I'm into fitness. I don't cook with white flour typically so I stick to wheat products instead. Wheat is just easier on the digestive and excretory systems.

Overall I eat healthy and do cardio but I don't restrain any weird cravings

One day all I could've had is a bagel and a banana and the next day I'll eat 18 chicken pieces of nuggets ?

I am allergic to apples
Do you get a weird feeling in the throat 5 minutes after eating one? Like something swells and it feels a certain percentage of the air flow just doesn't get through? That's what happens to me. 😢 But i can eat apple products all day eeryday, just not apples.

Started like that. Now I get a anaphylactic shock, so I have to be really careful.

With other fruits I get that feeling on my tongue and sometimes a rash.

It’s really annoying. I used to love making apple pie and now it’s pointless

Ayyy LMAO, that's bad.

On the other hand it did make me feel better seeing you have bigger problems than me. 😄

Did you address the issue in some way? Apples are pretty healthy in a compact form, so not being able to eat them puts us at a loss with healthy substances intake. How did you compensate for that?

I feel particularly salty about this because i found out that certain apples from a region in my country have been found to have very high amounts (iirc record breaking) of antioxidants in them......and i can't eat them.

Lol! Glad I made you feel better 😄

I am not allergic to berries, so I can indulge on them and I do it everyday. That helps!

I know what you mean.

Where I live autumn it’s all about enjoying the local apples and I used to love to drink the first juice of the year so much.

Did I tell you that I'm vegan?

Hi, I'm vegan. 🙋

Would you like me to tell you again?
Why?




Animal cruelty.


Yes,I get that

But I was asking why minority groups seem to have to shout about what they believe in?
What do you class as shouting about it?

I've never met any vegans like that.

A large handful of my friends are vegan, most of the time they're trying to avoid getting in to debates, because honestly it's tiring.

As for vegan activists, most of them I've encountered have been very respectful, they're there to educate and not make anyone feel bad.

But there's extremists in every group.

Have you personally had bad experiences with vegans?

Only a few in the past and as you say there are extremists in all groups of people
