There are those of us who get migraines, feel sluggish/groggy, and/or experience abdominal anguish when we come into contact with a food allergen.
And folks can miss me with the 'Wow, you're so picky!' or the 'Oh my gawd, what CAN you eat?' because, yeah, it's the most fun to always have to ask for an ingredient list and to always ask what else was cooke with/near my food or just opt to bring my own food lest my intestine drag me into the Abyss.
How hard is it to have some steamed carrots and broccoli at a potluck? Am I reaching for the stars with unsalted brown rice and unseasoned lentils??
I'm not here for any of this mess.
