Don't eat this post

Let me start by saying that if you have allergies, you are exempt from the rant that is about to follow. So, if consuming a peanut can kill you, then this is not directed at you.

People need to get over the dietary idiosyncratic behavior that has taken over America. When did "I don't eat..." become a common starter for sentences among adults. As in:

I don't eat meat.
I don't eat processed sugar.
I don't eat more than one starch per week.
I don't eat cooked vegetables.
I don't eat eggs from chickens that are fed processed sugar. Or glutens. Or anything but whole wheat grain freshwater free-range cod-liver-oil beans.

Want to hear mine? I don't eat anything that isn't considered food. There! I said it!

Full fat, half fat, lite, skim, low-cal, high-carb, low carb, no-carb, here a carb, there a carb, everywhere a carb, carb.

When was the last time you heard this exact conversation:
"Want some pizza?"
"Okay!"

I bet you're thinking really, really hard. Because the odds are that the person being offered the pizza doesn't eat dairy. "As long as we get it without cheese..."

Well, America, I'll be happy to ingest all the glutens you are shunning. Once I figure out what glutens are exactly.
