In the US, hospital visits for food allergy increased threefold from 1993 to 2006. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20201023-food-allergies-why-nut-dairy-and-food-allergy-are-rising
@estherschindler this article didn’t mention the chemicals we spray on food to boost crop production. It kinda makes sense we are allergic to the poisons we are growing our food with. Almost seems too obvious or maybe just another inconvenient truth of our toxic world🙈🙉🙊
@AllisonKaye Perhaps, but kids raised on organic food get allergies too.
Not saying that isn't a primary reason -- and @bitranch is desperately allergic to olives, so this is personal to us -- but just because it makes sense to me doesn't mean it's true.
@AllisonKaye Yeah, I would have included that too.
