So I have been #plantbased for 17 years. I was #vegan for 7 or 8 of those years, but I had to go back to being #vegetarian due to food allergies. I limit/ethically source eggs and dairy as much as possible...anyways. Thanks to Trump, the FDA has halted dairy safety tests. This has motivated me to try a little harder to go back to veganism. I'd love some healthy meal ideas if you have any! (I'll handle the allergy substitutes, DW) #foodallergies #uspol
Look, if you're going to invite my family for a meal & you know my kid has food allergies, when you say:
"Please bring your own food for him, since I can't commit to having more than 1 thing safe for him to eat."
What I hear is:
"I can't be bothered to accommodate your child's food allergy, it's too inconvenient. Maybe he just shouldn't come."
And then I wonder, why are you inviting us if you don't want us to feel welcome? WHAT IS THE POINT?!

Influencer Dominique Brown Dies of Food Allergy at 34
Anaphylaxis needs to be taken much more seriously than it is.
Epi is great - but it’s only buying you time. Biphasic reactions can be lethal.
Also - especially if you have MCAS - make sure to learn the various ways anaphylaxis can present.
It doesn’t always involve the airway.
This was (in my opinion) a preventable death. It was an egregious disregard for Dominique’s life to suggest she take photos before going to get medical care.
Even “if” you think your reaction isn’t progressing quickly - it could change in an instant.
You should never delay medical attention
If you’re new to anaphylaxis and/or new to MCAS - I highly recommend learning the various ways it can impact your body.
I didn’t realize I was having anaphylaxis the first time it happened to me. I thought it was the flu.
I had diarrhea & vomiting, sore throat, fever and bone pain.
I finally went to ER after three days of suffering not because I suspected anaphylaxis - but because my throat was so sore I couldn’t keep fluids down.
The triage nurse took one look in my airway, stabbed me with an epi pen and whisked me into a code room.
My “sore throat” was actually swelling
My vomiting and diarrhea was classic GI anaphylaxis - and I was also having significant cardiac symptoms.
Thankfully I got medical care in time - and the team who treated me explained what to look for in the future.
Many of us think of wheezing, hives, hoarseness and throat closure when we picture an anaphylactic reaction.
In reality - it can spare the airway AND the skin. It can impact your gut, your heart and your reproductive organs.
In fact - my doctors can actually tell when I’m going into anaphylaxis by the changes in my EKG (highly recommend reading about Kounis Syndrome if your MCAS causes cardiac issues)
When it comes to anaphylaxis - treat early & get to hospital. Make sure you always have an epi pen (or two) with you and check regularly to make sure they haven’t expired.
If you’re unsure if you’re in anaphylaxis - go to ER to be certain.
Had I waited much longer my throat would have closed
Lastly - take people’s allergies seriously. In MCAS we don’t always know what the trigger will be - but when people do know what they’re allergic to - we need to be cautious and ensure they aren’t exposed
If we took allergies more seriously - Dominique would still be with us

I wonder if it's the increased use of #glyphosate, or perhaps other pollutants (#microplastics? #pfas). Other theories include #VitaminD deficiency (not enough outdoor time?), and lack of exposure to common microbes (again, not enough outdoor time).
Why the World Is Becoming More Allergic to Food
The frequency of food allergy has increased over the past 30 years, particularly in industrialised societies.
Dr. Alexandra Santos
September 2019
"The increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them.
"It is thought that allergies and increased sensitivity to foods are probably environmental, and related to Western lifestyles.
"We know there are lower rates of allergies in developing countries. They are also more likely to occur in urban rather than rural areas.
"Factors may include #pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to #microbes, which change how our #ImmuneSystems respond."

Working with British baking recipes requires a fair amount of reverse engineering.
“350 grams of self-rising flour.” Okay, they don’t sell that at my local store, how do I make it?
“120 grams of all purpose flour plus 1.5 teaspoons baking powder plus .25 teaspoons salt.”
But I’m allergic to corn and baking powder has corn starch. How do I reverse engineer baking powder?
“1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar and 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional) = 4 teaspoons baking powder.”
If you want to make a proper British scone, first you must invent the universe.

#Disney fighting #restaurant #death suit with Disney+ terms “absurd,” lawyer says: [It] wants to force suit [...] into #arbitration, 20240814,

『In May, Disney tried to argue that the wrongful death suit should be dismissed because Piccolo subscribed to a one-month free trial of Disney+ four years before Tangsuan's shocking death. Fighting back this month, a lawyer representing Tangsuan's estate, Brian Denney, warned that Disney was "explicitly seeking to bar its 150 million Disney+ subscribers from ever prosecuting a wrongful death case against it in front of a jury even if the case facts have nothing to with Disney+."』

Your Disney+ terms of service means that you can never sue Disney in any context ever. Sounds like a good reason to break up Disney to me.
