Well, it might be true that there are more allergies, but it could just be better knowledge of what is happening to people on a physiological level. Perhaps science and medicine have advanced in such a way that one can more accurately pinpoint special dietary needs whereas in the past one might just not have had such knowledge.
Because of the completely horrible American diet and preservatives/chemicals the whores at the FDA have allowed in our food supply.
I’m not exactly the example God had in mind when we were created, but I’ve found a couple of spoonfuls of Metamucil daily to be helpful in this regard.
Was going to respond to @arrow1 but @Nathan R. Jessep covered it. My youngest was one allergic to breastmilk. It's not common but also not uncommon. Eventually they typically grow out of it but in her case we tried increasing levels of purified formula before we got to one that was like the second to last one we could get. Meaning there was one other formula available on the market that was 99% pure of any allergens. Forget the stuff we settled on but it was $700/month and insurance didn't cover it. Anything else and she was screaming 24/7 and projectile vomiting. I can't imagine having to deal with that today.
I can send some links, but if you are eating a wide variety of fibrous foods, you don't need that.
I think my wife keeps my eating in a reasonably healthy manner but the doc said this can’t hurt. But sure, plz drop some links.
Heck no. Taking a probiotic either.
I agree, but part of me thinks in is a psychological matter as well and also how we are raising our children and a .
I think both can be true.
because most americans eat a diet of processed food. our bodies aren't designed to digest it.
I don't know how much of that is political hoopla (probably a good bit of it) but it sure doesn't sound great.
buy wheat......................pennies?World Has 10-Week Supply Of Wheat Remaining: 'This Is Seismic,' Expert Says
Russia and Ukraine supplied a combined 1/3 of the world's wheat exports and were among the top-5 exporters of corn prior to their ongoing conflict, which began in February.
Menker said that the invasion, along with previous issues such as widespread fertilizer shortages, supply chain problems and record droughts, has limited the earth's current wheat supply to last about 10 weeks unless significant changes are made.
I love Costco for the price, quality, and samples. And the deli at the checkout was popular with my family when the kids were young. But i think some of their products contribute to excess intake of calories. When someone brings the Costco muffins to the office, some people eat a whole muffin - the chocolate chip muffin has/had about 700 calories. While others cut the muffin into halves or quarters. I prefer keeping the same price and reducing the size, instead of increasing the price and keeping the size. My friend who used to deal with Keebler said this type of thing has happened in the past, but not to this extent.
Long time ago, when I was in high school, the first big box store opened up in our town. People were excited. I remember comparing notes in class, as everyone discussed what their particular family purchased a LOT of.
I looked this up the other day. On average there are over 5,000 fires at processing and manufacturing facilities each year. I would think several of those would be at food facilities. https://www.factcheck.org/2022/05/unfounded-claims-about-frequency-and-causes-of-food-plant-fires/Binky The Doormat said:

No commentary. If this turned out to be a true conspiracy, I would binge the true crime doc to follow.
One of the fires this year was a machine malfunctioning. I would think there are easier ways to burn a place down than sabotaging a machine and counting on it to catch fire and cause major damage.
Supplier/Wholesaler here - There is a lot of truth in what you are hearing. Independent truckers are getting forced out, cant make it on rising fuel costs. We are raising our prices for the 4th time in 10 months, didn’t raise for four years before last August. In fact, I lost 2 25-year accounts this week over pricing. The little guy is screwed in this.
Thanks for the insight. Do you know what percentage of the industry is independent trucking lines?
Shifting purchases over the last couple months. More crockpot meats and adding beans into the ground beef for taco casserole night.
Soylent Green will be here before you know it.
Soylent Green might still be an upgrade from whatever Taco Bell is using.
Soylent Brown?
What a railroad strike would mean |
| About 40% of long-distance shipping in the US is by train. Which is why a railroad strike that could begin as soon as Friday could have serious consequences across the country. As of Monday, neither the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) nor the SMART Transportation Division (SMART TD), had reached an agreement with carriers, per CNBC. They represent about half of railroad union workers. What do they want?What everyone wants: time off.

Large railroad labor unions say they will strike if quality of life is not addressed in new contract
Railroad unions representing half of workers say they will strike unless vacation and sick days and attendance policies, are addressed in a new labor contract.www.cnbc.com

What a railroad strike would mean
About 40% of long-distance shipping in the US is by train. Which is why a railroad strike that could begin as soon as Friday could have serious consequences across the country.
As of Monday, neither the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) nor the SMART Transportation Division (SMART TD), had reached an agreement with carriers, per CNBC.
They represent about half of railroad union workers.
What do they want?
What everyone wants: time off.
Railroad reps argue the system is necessary to combat staffing shortages, but labor reps counter that carriers have laid off workers to cut costs.
- Some railroads use a points-based attendance system that labor reps say puts workers on call for 12 hours a day and penalizes them for sick or vacation days.
The US Surface Transportation Board notes that the largest carriers by revenue have reduced staff by 29% over the last six years.
What would happen?
A strike would:
Trucks can’t help. It’d take an extra 460k+ of them a day, which the American Trucking Associations says is “not possible” — that industry is short ~80k drivers.
- Shut down ~7k daily trains
- Cause shortages, shutdowns, and price hikes across sectors. That includes food: railroads transport 20% of all grain and half of fertilizer.
- Cost the economy ~$2B per day
Federal officials…
… are holding emergency meetings to prepare, per The Washington Post, and there is precedence for government intervention.
Back in 1992, Congress passed a bill to end a railroad strike after just two days.
