[Sca-cooks] Food Allergies

[grizly at mindspring.com]

AS alternative, cal it a food sensitivity, and be done.  More accurate, less controversy, and I've never had issues with it before.  This covers emotional reactions, physical symptoms and medical conditions.

I have a friend who had food issues that numbers in the scores.  All he ever had to say is that he reacted badly to something, and it went at that.  He never had to feign allergy to explain or avoid something.

(food allergies are a personal peeve for me for some reason . . . . seems food allergies are getting more and more 'trendy' and minimizing the impact they reallt have on some people.)

Avraham,
I understand what you are saying but if a person has a bad reaction to a food
stuff, let's say, <drink milk = get diarrhea> then even though it is not a
*true allergy* it is often easier to say, "No thanks I am allergic" than go
into a whole explanation of what will happen if you ingest the milk.

Too often, if you just say "No thanks", people want to know why and then they
just want too much personal info that you might not be willing to give at all
or discuss at the moment. (Or maybe I just know too many yentas)  So saying
"No thanks, I;m allergic", is just the simple way out.
